Lanarkshire / Re: Photo's of 258 Gallowgate/ 3 Gibson Street
« on: Sunday 25 January 15 03:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I have ancestor who died in 1929 whose usual address was 3 Gibson St, Glasgow.
He  lived in the Calton area until around 1905 before returning between 1925 and 1929.
I have not yet established why he returned to Glasgow, when the family were in Perthshire (for work probably), except that he was buried in Perthshire after illness confinement near Forfar.

Do do have information on this site or the local area?

Thanks,
Ian

Thanks  :)

Thanks Forfarian,
since I made my post, I have the the records on scotlandspeople and are inclined to think that as the couple were from different parishes, and Frances was from a non-conformist church which could not marry a couple without it first occurring in a Church of Scotland, that the marriage occurred first in Glasgow and then in the non-conformist Rutherglen Relief Church. The marriage date is the same on both records but is recorded with a later date in Rutherglen.
  After discovering this information, I have come back and read your post which appears to correlate with my information, thanks.

I have researched as William Bulloch's birth dates have been variously given as 1816 and 1818. Only one birth in Glasgow is recorded as occurring in 1816 to the parents of James Bulloch and Christian Erskine.

I find it somewhat off-putting in researching a common used name like William Bulloch linked to a relative whose name is variously listed as Jane, Jean and Janet. I never really sure if I am dealing with the same person, sisters or members of different families.

Thanks for all your advice. The last 24 or so hours have been fruitful in adding one general generation of ancestors to one branch of the family tree. Most days, or weeks, are this productive, unfortunately.

Hi DavidPaul,
it seems the families of ancestors have spread wide and far.

I am researching the marriage of William Bulloch and Frances McIntyre and have discovered 2 marriages only a month apart, both in Glasgow City (9 May 1841 in Glasgow Parish and 4 Jun 1841 in Rutherglen Parish).

Now, how to choose the right one? Family history is written in a chronological order but researched backwards. Such is the challenge (and fun!?) of genealogy.

Hi Ambly,
I have an ancestor Jessie Cullen who in died 1872 aged 29 with parents named James Cullen and Jane Bulloch at 3 Gibson St, Calton in Glasgow (Jessie's death certificate). James was deceased by 1865 (Jessie's marriage certificate) but Jane was alive in 1872 (Jessie's death certificate). The 1861 Census listed sisters as Christina and Elizabeth also at 3 Gibson St.

Can the names of Jean and Jessie be used as alternatives for each other? Is this a likely match of the same family?

Hi Jean,
I am a descendant of a MARSH line of family from Kent (Henry b1835 or 1857 in Canterbury or Barham) before moving to  Surrey in the 1860s and migrating to Melbourne, Australia in 1913.

Lanarkshire / Re: Jessie Cullen 1865 marriage

Hi,
Sorry that our trees do not cross. In your route to reaching William Walker and Jessie Cullen, was the error in identifying the wrong William or Jessie, or another family member who may be part of my tree? Of this couple's 6 children, I only know the birthdates of 5 of the children. So additional information on anyone of these would be benefical.
Thanks.

hi Beverley,
you mentioned your great great grandmother was elizabeth cullen of 43 market st Calton in Glasgow, and her parents were elizabeth and james cullen.
I have an ancestor, William Walker, who was living at 43 Market St Calton in 1901 Census. His mother was Jessie Cullen who lived and died in Calton. Her sister was Elizabeth, born c1859, with parents of James Cullen and Jane Bulloch. Please let me know if this information indicates a link beween our ancestors. I am researching this family from afar as one of Jessie Cullen's family of grandchildren spread across the UK and to Australia and the USA in the 1920s and 1930s.
Ian, Australia
