Hello Rootschatters
I may not ever know the answer to this but someone among you may have knowledge/suggestion other than give up.
I have my gg grandmother, Mary Ferguson (MS McKinnon) and two children, with her parents, Donald and Peggy McKINNON, in 1861 census in Tobermory. I haven't been able to find parents for Peggy because she died,in 1878, a widow, in the poorhouse, Tobermory with no information of parents recorded. If i could trace any more of their children it might help.(Apart from Mary m Ferguson and Catherine(Kate) m Connell.
In the 1851c with Donald and Peggy still at Breast, Tobermory is Mary's older sister's husband Joseph CONNEL. He and Catherine McKinnon were married 24.1.1851 in Gorbals Glasgow and I can follow them in addresses in Hamilton in subsequent years. I don't know why Catherine (or Kate as in Tobermory at 1841 census) was not there in 1851, though.
Who does seem to be there is a 1yr old granddaughter called Mary ANDERSON.
In 1861 there is an 11yr granddaughter called Mary Paterson born Gorbals. Right age but is it a misspelling of Anderson a different child.
A Mary Connell, age 20 born Glasgow, appears in the 1871 census with them in Hamilton recorded as daughter. I assume she has been adopted because she is older than their children, William, Robert and Elizabeth.
If it is the same Mary as Mary Anderson/Paterson since the ages are about right, was she a niece that was orphaned in 1851? Who were her parents. I can't work it out after a day at Scotlandspeople.
Any help would be surprising and welcome,
Mary

Hi Mary
Do you have the maiden name for Peggy/Margaret?
When were daughters Mary and Catherine born?
Were you not able to find anything further on Mary Connell/Paterson/Anderson? A marriage reg for example to see what names she gave for her parents.
