Inverness / Re: Lachlan Mackay, 42nd Regiment of Foot (the Black Watch) -- 1st half of 19th c.
« on: Wednesday 07 May 25 16:54 BST (UK)  »
I see this is an old post but I believe I have a connection to this family. My 4x great grandmother Jean Mackay was a daughter of John Mackay and Ann Mason. Jean was born around 1790 and married David McKay who was a son of a Lachlan Mckay and Jane McAndrew. Jean died in 1858 in Glasgow and John Mackay and Ann Mason are listed as her parents on the death cert. Jean is buried in sighthill cemetery in Glasgow.

Lanarkshire / Re: 1911 census - why is it listing deceased children of the Loran family?
« on: Monday 14 April 25 01:42 BST (UK)  »
The 1911 census was the first census in Scotland were all children born during  the marriage were to be recorded even if they had died which appeared in its own column. For example children born during marriage 7 children still alive 5. Possibly what has happened is that they misunderstood this requirement and listed them as still iving in the actual household in 1911. Worth a thought.

Lanarkshire / Asylum
« on: Friday 21 February 25 13:22 GMT (UK)  »
I have a few distant relatives who were sadly admitted to asylums on the outskirts of the city in the early 20th century spanning the dates 1902 to about 1920. The two asylums were Woodilee and Gartloch. I am aware that most asylums took photographs of new patients upon admission, has anybody had any ancestors admitted to these particular asylums and were you able to find photographs of your relatives from the asylum records.

Thanks

Lanarkshire / Lyall street Glasgow
« on: Wednesday 22 January 25 15:29 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find Lyall street on the old maps of Glasgow. I have a rough idea that it might be near the woodside area but I can't find it on the map.

Thanks

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Margaret McGuinness/ Cunningham/ Kelly (Dungiven)

Yes it's been a very difficult one to solve. Strange how on Ellen's death she is also recorded as a spinster when she should be a widow.

Thank you for all the organising of the records.

Yes definitely for the right Margaret. She married William McGuinness not James. My great grandmother Isabella was William and Margaret's daughter and on all bmd records for her  the mum and dad are recorded as William and Margaret.

Thanks Sinann and Aghadowey for the replies and info. Yes that is the correct death for Ellen Kelly.

I somehow think that Ellen Kelly is not the mother of Margaret though. Annie McGuinness who was the informant of Ellen's death was the daughter of Margaret and that would make her Ellen Kelly's grandaughter if she was the mother of Margaret. However, on her death record the relationship is recorded as Annie being her niece which makes no sense.

Derry (Londonderry) / Margaret McGuinness/ Cunningham/ Kelly (Dungiven)
« on: Thursday 19 September 24 22:12 BST (UK)  »
A few mysteries surrounding one of my ancestors from Dungiven.

A few details:

My 2x great grandmother Margaret Cunningham was born in Dungiven around 1860 to father Robert Cunningham. She married William McGuinness in 1880. William died in 1891 aged 35 in Dungiven. In 1894 Margaret gave birth to an illegitimate son Robert. in the 1901 and 1911 census Margaret and her children are living with a Joseph Kelly. The two census records state that Margaret is the sister of Joseph Kelly but this can't be as Margaret's maiden name was Cunningham. would it be it likely that Joseph Kelly was her common law husband and possibly the father of Robert?

Also, I can't seem to find any death record for Margaret anywhere in the area in the years after 1911 in the Dungiven/ wider areas of Derry.

grateful for any advice.
