Hi Brandane,

Herewith the rest of the stuff I got at NRH.

Found Malcolm McTaggart and Jane McTaggart/Mckean in the 1901 census at 20 Carrick Street, Glasgow
Malcolm  McTaggart Head  age 49 Boiler Shed Labourer  born Islay
Jane McTaggart Wife age 48 born Glasgow
Malcolm McTaggart son age 20 Boiler Shed Labourer born Glasgow
John McTaggart son age 18 Moulders Labourer born Glasgow
Robert McTaggart son age 14 Scholar born Glasgow
Jane McTaggart daughter age 15 Bottlewasher born Glasgow
Rose McTaggart daughter 22 Pottery Worker born Glasgow
Mary Jane McTaggart g/daughter 5 born Glasgow

Checked out the births of all the children-
Malcolm McTaggart born 9/8/1881 at 88 Richard Street
John Brogan McTaggart born 28/11/1883 at 88 Richard Street
Robert McTaggart born 7/9/1888 at 20 Union Place
Jane Horn McTaggart born 29/10/1885 at 88 Richard Street
Rose Ann O’Hara McTaggart born 2/3/1877 at 104 Richard Street

And the grandchild-
Mary Jane McKean Mctaggart illegitimate daughter of Rose Ann McTaggart, Pottery worker, born 20 Carrick Street (sorry have missed out the date)

Malcolm and wife Jane both died in 1919

Malcolm died 21st Feb 1919 at Ruchill Hopsital (usual res 26 Brown Street, Anderston, Glasgow). He was 63 and married to Jean Horne McKean and was a Boilermaker Journeyman. ATHER Duncan McTaggart, Blacksmith (dec’d). Mother Rose Ann McTaggart m/s O’Hara (dec’d). Informant Malcolm McTaggart, son, of 34 Brown Street.

Jane died on 12th December 1919 at 34 Brown Street, age 63. She was the widow of Malcolm McTaggart, Boilermaker. Her parents were William McKean, Baker (dec’d) and Naomi McKean m/s Horne(dec’d). Informant John McTaggart, son, of 20 Brown Street.

There is a bit of info in the igi re the McKean family as one of Jane’s siblings appears to have married a mormon. The igi indicates that William McKean was born 10th June 1827 in Ayr to William McKean and Agnes Bone and that he died in 1888. Naomi appears to be the daughter of John Horn and Jane Ross born in Barony, Glasgow in 1826. She died on 21st April 1897.

I also found a marriage for Malcolm McTaggart (born 1881), son of Malcolm and Jane. He married a Margaret Hamilton on 20th April 1906 at 46 St Vincent Crescent, Glasgow (usual address 58 Clyde Street, Glasgow). He was 24 and a Quay Labourer. Father Malcolm McTaggart, Hammerman, Mother Jane McTaggart m/s McKean. Margaret was 22, also of 58 Clyde Street and her father was Alexander Hamilton, Plasterer (dec’d) and mother was Isabella Hamilton m/s Egilton. Witnesses Mary McKean and James McLean. They had a daughter named Mary Mclean McTaggart in 1910.

Duncan McTaggart (son of Malcolm and Jane)died in 1949 and his wife Agnes McTaggart m/s Freeman died in 1931.

Duncan died on 29th June 1949 at 28 Lancefield Street, Glasgow, aged 70. He was the widower of Agnes Freeman and was a Foundry Labourer. Father Malcolm McTaggart, Boilermaker (dec’d) Mother Jane McTaggart m/s McKean (dec’d). Informant Rose McKee, daughter.

Agnes died on 12th May 1931 at 54 Grace Street, Glasgow. She was 55 and married to Duncan McTaggart, Foundry Labourer. Father Thomas Freeman, Ship Rigger (Dec’d) Mother Rose Ann Murphy (dec’d). Informant Duncan McTaggart, Widower.

I tried to find out a bit more about the parents of Duncan McTaggart who was married to Rose Ann O’Hara. As you know his death cert. gives his parents names as Duncan McTaggart, Farmer and Rachel McTaggart m/s Taylor. I have drawn a complete blank on this but have found a Malcolm McTaggart and Rachel Taylor having children in Islay at the appropriate time and wonder if a mistake has been made with the father’s name on the death cert.
Malcolm McTaggart, a son of Malcolm and Rachel, was married on Islay in 1857. He was 28 and both his parents are shown as deceased.He is shown as ‘previously of the parish of Houston, Renfrewshire’ Malcolm sen’r was a Farm ? (sorry can’t make it out- looks like Crook!) Another son, Alexander, died in Kilchoman, Islay in 1858 age 30. He was a single Blacksmith and died of Consumption. The informant was a brother, Neil.

Well that’s about it. Hope you can make something of all this. Need to go and get organised now for going back to work tomorrow. Have been off for more than a fortnight so not looking forward to it!

Looks like Mary Ann may well have been born in the Vale of Leven area of Dumbartonshire. Do you know who her parents were?

   Roseann Smith/McTaggart died in 1884

1884 January 12th at 7 Oxford Lane, Gorbals, Glasgow
Rose Ann Smith married to 1st Duncan McTaggart, Farm Servant, 2nd William Smith, Gas Burner Maker, aged 47
Father Bernard o’Hara Fisher ? (Master) deceased
Mother Mary O’Hara m/s Taylor (deceased)
Carcinoma Siteri? As certified by Archd Templeton M.D
Informant William Smith, Widower, present

In 1891 Malcolm and Jane were at 8 Bishops Street, Barony, Glasgow
Malcolm age 36 head  Boiler Maker born Argyllshire Islay
Jane age 35 born Lanarkshire Glasgow
Oma age 16 pottery Maker Lanrkshire, Glasgow
Roseanne 14 Scholar Lanarkshire, Glasgow
Duncan 12 Scholar Lanarkshire, Glasgow
Malcolm 10 Scholar Lanarkshire, Glasgow
John 8 Lanarkshire, Glasgow
Jeannie 6 Lanarkshire, Glasgow
Robert 3 Lanarkshire Glasgow

According to your info. Duncan McTaggart above was born at 53 Richard Street in 1879. He married Agnes Freeman in 1898. They had a son called Matthew around 1924 whom you believe was a brother of  your grandfather Hugh Kerr McTaggart born around 1912. Does this mean that you think Malcolm and Jane (Mckean) are your g/grandparents. The reason I am confused is that your very first posting gave Hugh Kerr McTaggart’s father as Alexander McTaggart. What parents’ names were given on Hugh’s death certificate in 1962?

I also found a death certificate for Roseanne McTaggart above-

1922 21st February at 35 Nicholas Street, Glasgow
Roseann McAllister age 44 married to 1st John McDade, Cotton Worker, 2nd George McAllister, Riveter
Father Malcolm McTaggart, Boilermaker (deceased)
Mother Jane McTaggart m/s McKean (deceased)
Carcinoma of Uterus
Witness George McAllister, Widower, Present

I hope to get a visit to New Register House on the 16th. If you want I can try and check out some of the later records re. this family for you (ie the ones you can’t view on SP)

Regards,
Isobel

In the 1861 census Duncan, Roseann and Malcolm were listed at 7 Oxford Lane. Duncan was 32, a Coal Dealer, born Argyllshire, Islay; Roseann was 33,Coal Dealer's Wife, also born Islay and Malcolm was 12, born Islay.

Duncan died in 1864 -
1864 August 30th at 7 Oxford Lane
Duncan McTaggart age 40, Coal Porter, married to Rose O'Hara
(Note age discrepancy between 1861 census and death cert.)

Mother Rachel McTaggart m/s Taylor (deceased)
Erysipelas/Enpipelas? as cert. by W.A Liddell, Surgeon
Informant Rose McTaggart, her mark, widow, present

By 1871, Rose was married to William Smith. 1871 census entry for 47 Muirhead Street gives:-
William Smith age 36, Lodger ,Harbour Labourer, born Glasgow
Roseann Smith, Lodger, age 40 born Argyllshire , Islay
Malcolm McTaggart, Lodger, age 20 Harbour Labourer, born Argyllshire, Islay

The only possible marriage for William and Roseann is this one:-

Not sure why Roseann should use her maiden name or call herself a spinster, but I’m sure it is her.

Hi Brandane,

I think you may be looking at the wrong 1871 census entry.

I have found the following:-

47 Muirhead Street, Hutchesontown, Glasgow

William Smith Lodger age 36 Harbour Labourer born Glasgow
Roseann Smith Lodger age 40 born Islay
Malcolm McTaggart Lodger age 20 Harbour Labourer born Islay

I am away over the weekend but will post the other information that I have found when I get back.

I'm not surprised you are confused, not least because both William and Roseann's ages vary wildly from record to record. To give an example - Roseann Smith/O'Hara died at 7 Oxford Lane in 1884 which is the same address that Duncan McTaggart died at in 1864 and she is described on the death cert.as having been married to both Duncan McTaggart and William Smith. But her age is given as 47 on the death certificate. Given that she was 33 in the 1861 census entry for 7 Oxford Lane, 40 on the 1871 census entry above, AND had a son (Malcolm) born around 1851, the age on the death certificate is obviously  very wrong.

Regards,
isobel Colliar
ps found a marriage for Bernard O'Hara and Mary Taylor in Glasgow in 1817, so suspect that these are the correct parents for Roseann as per the death cert. Her 1865 marriage gives her parents as James O'Hara and Mary Taylor. Same mother's name on both, but a confusion over father's name.
