[Cairns Doole.FTW] Signed her Marriage certificate with an X - she could not write Bridget was a short squat little woman who spoke with a broad Scottish accent Because of letters from Scotland asking for money, Bridget stopped contact with her Scottish relatives Louisa her daughter left school at 10 to look after her mother father and family according to her daughter Jocelyn as told to K M Patrick Mervyn Mathiasen 44 Wilton Rd. Papatoetoe. 11/9/1983 Dear Mrs K Patrick, I thought I should clear up the little confusion re the mother of Bridget Cairns. Ann's birth certificate gives her mother as Bridget Cairns, and her birthplace as Ireland. The 1871 census for this area of Glasgow follows: 1871 census for Crown St. Glasgow 64410 Book 14 Schedule 72 at Old Toll house. Mary Hollachan Head widow 50 Born Ireland Jane Hollachan Daughter 16 " Glasgow Elizabeth Hollachan Daughter 7 " Glasgow Patrick Cairns Son in law 30 " Glasgow Bridget Daughter 29 " Ireland James Grandson 11 " Glasgow Agnes Granddaughter 3 Months " Glasgow Bridget's marriage certificate gives her mother as Agnes Craig I have never written to Scotland to try and solve this riddle but would suggest the birth details of the youngest daughter as best bet. Yours faithfully Mervyn Mathiasen
Yes I have checked the death's for her.
