Title: Thomas McLagan
Post by: snowolf on Wednesday 14 May 25 16:44 BST (UK)
Hello ,
Looking to see what happened to Thomas McLagan.
I have his birth certificate, born 1891 ,Perth ...parents are charles McLagan & Robina Gove Durward .

Although i know about the parents  & other son  Charles junior.
It's just Thomas who's the mystery .
Cannot find him with family in 1901 Cencus , ..Can't find a death for him  (there is one aged 3 but it's not him )..mmmmmH!  what could have happened to him ? i even spelt it with 2 g's in surname but nothing .
Any hints please ?
Thanks
Snowolf ???

Hi Snowolf,

It looks like he died an infant in 1892 in Perth. Name Thomas MacLagan, aged 0 years, mother's maiden name Durward. Reference on Scotland's People 387/209.

Perhaps it didn't come up initially due to the different spelling? I used the phonetic matching option to cover the variants, just in case.

Always leave out the vowels when searching on SP. I'd use M*cl*g*n for this surname.

Thankyou Lewis ! that's the Thomas i'm looking for  :D, i didn't think of looking for Maclagan, so thats  a good bit of advice for me ,
thanks again
