Ireland / Re: Francis Machon

Hi Myyran,
             Thanks for the reply, sad to say these things happened then & happen still. Though in them days it was a burden & most time left shame on the woman. I would like you to get an end resulton it & a shame the brickwall has been built in the family. I had that in my own from years ago & they don't want to talk about it. So you don't know anything of this man at all, shame, I think he would be a Mahon/McMahon.
Harry.

Lanarkshire / Re: Knowledge of "The Chuckie" a building in Tollcross Glasgow
« on: Friday 15 May 20 22:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi John,
          The Chuckie brought back memories of yesteryears to me & many. My Mother's friends the Dickson stayed there in Battleburn St, then moved to Bothwellhaugh.  You mention Eversley St, before it ws called that it was Graham St. If you look up at the name of the Street on the Corner of Tollcross Rd, you see Graham St, still marked up in Black Surround??? & Gold Wording.  My Father was born in John St, Tollcross, am lead to believe that it run down oppisite side of Graham St. Side nearer to the old Tollcross Scholl at Fullarton Ave, now knocked down & Rebuilt as a Unit of Housing.
    I stand to be corrected though on John St, original locale though not far away from there. Then he moved to the village of Clyde opposite Causewayside St, London Rd.

Ireland / Re: Francis Machon
« on: Friday 15 May 20 22:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi ,
   Just a curious thought ffrom myself on your Francis, could he may have been McMahon. The Irish did dropthe MC or Mac when arriving here in Scotland, jobs etc as it gave away their Religion.
   Now Another look is like my name it is Machon but not really. My GGGGrandparents came over as either McMahon or Mahon. When My GGGradfather died his name was Francis Mahon, his Death Cert. was Francis McMahon. His Informant was his Father Francis McMahon/Mahon. So there are many ways to look into his name. My Machon name changed in the 1891 Scottish Census from Mahon to Machon, possibly because of the laungage barrier??. We also have another variabnt later from our name of Machan. So that may help you or may not, & my Grandfather's name was Francis Machon as well but born here.

Sorry to have bored you a little.

Harry Machon.
