Lanarkshire / Catholic Baptism and Confirmation
« on: Friday 04 May 18 20:14 BST (UK)  »
Looking for Baptism records of my mother-in-law. She was born 1923 at 10 Duke Street, Glasgow, I would also like her confirmation details, she may have been living at 165 Stockwell Street at the time of her confirmation.


I have looked at Scotlands People and also the Catholic Archives but they don't have the information for these dates, I will need to contact the Church directly.....this is the problem I don't know which Church would have covered the area.

Any help would be great.

I have looked at that and also sent for a copy of the death certificate of a George Stewart who died in an accident in the Clarks Engine Works in 1901 (mariner).

I am willing to accept this may be him but his wife remarried in 1885 and according to the history of The National Amalgamated Union of Sailors and Firemen, there was a lot of bad blood between the union and ship owners and as his wife was still living (and in Sunderland) in 1901 I think this may have been brought to the attention of the courts but I haven't been able to find anything.

I know I could be too picky but I do like to dot my i's and cross my t's haha

Durham / Missing Mariner
« on: Tuesday 31 January 17 11:49 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to trace George Stewart brn about 1846, Midlothian. Married Elizabeth Haydon 1873 in South Shields. 1881, census, Mariner living in Commerical Road, South Shields. He then disappears but his wife remarries as a spinster in 1885 using her maiden name.

Some people think he was involved in the Seamans Union and that he didn't die and his wife was a bigamist.

However this doesn't sit comfortably, I can find too many reason why this may not be the case.

Can anyone tell me how I can find more information about the missing Mariner.

That's what we were starting to think. Unfortunately I only have his Royal Navy number (John Gallagher)  K/55407.

Thanks for your help. I'll be contacting Greenock Cemetery tomorrow.

Wilfred James Cooke has certainly come as a surprise as my mother-in-law was his sister and she would have been about 11 when he died but she never spoke about it.

I have downloaded a copy of Wilfreds death record from Scotlandspeople to add to the growing collection  ;)

Yes sorry my mistake it was February 1919 not January 1919. I wouldn't care I have the correct date written down in my notes  ::)

I can understand why someone would change their DOB to be older but why younger? It's as though he wanted John McCann to disappear.

Renfrewshire / Watt Library - Lair details
« on: Wednesday 01 October 14 20:44 BST (UK)  »
I have come across a receipt for a Lair in Port-Glasgow cemetery. It was purchased 1934 by Mr Walter and Mrs Theresa Cooke.

I would be very interested if someone could look these details up for me as I would like to confirm who else has been buried there.

I know Walter and Theresa were but I think a Wilfred James Cooke may also be there. It would be interesting if any other names also appear.
