« on: Friday 31 January 25 16:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I've found this post today and i just found out yesterday my maternal great grandfather on his death certificate is registered  as William Mackay death10 Oct 1915 age 82 there was a corrected entry with cause of death etc and on this it names him as  William Mackay "Gow " ( so many/McKay's/Mackay's who marry Mackay/McKay with same names I get so confused ) this is the first Mackay "Gow" ive come across in my ancestry  he was born in Portskerra and died strathypoint  there about 6miles apart .. Just thought I'd add to this old post maybe it will shed some light for someone?

Wexford / Re: Margaret Dunn who are the real parents ?

Yes Margaret's first husband was tragically killed in a shipbuilding accident at work in Glasgow 1875.

I was wondering if there was the possibility of Margarets parents on the census died when she was just a young child and taken in by family or whoever John Dunne and Margaret Elliot were...I haven't managed to find records on them to see if further census records etc mention Margaret staying with them. and perhaps she thought of them as her parents as they looked after her??? just a thought

Scotmum &  Kiltaglassan

Thanks for that " in the midst of winters" it was very interesting and Yes you could be right that could definitely say dr Winter on the census extract I saw "Agher," was mentioned and i did see that scribbled on the census too...so you could have connected soe of the dots so to speak  ;D
thanks again for taking the time to research and reply its appreciated

Hi Sinann & Gaffy
thanks for taking the time to try and help me.

re the marriage record  the marriage  of Edward Dunn and Mary Ann Fay ;D thanks for that

I thought the wee scribbles etc could be of use thats on the census extract but I've not been able to fathom what they mean...

I wasn't sure if I could post the record on here or not? i did notice on the census extract where it said relationship and  occupation it said gardener/ ? winter

As for her second Marriage Yes I'm 99% sure its the same Margaret Dunn formally Sergeant, Widow

 her death record says
Margaret Hood window of
1st Thomas Sergeant, 
2nd Robert Hood
I'm just confused as to who her parents are???

thanks

Wexford / Margaret Dunn who are the real parents ?
« on: Thursday 03 August 23 12:20 BST (UK)  »
can someone please help me find out who my real 2xgreat grandparents are?

My great Grandmother Margaret Dunn Born abt 1849 Ireland was marred twice.

 1st marriage age 21yrs (11/02/1870) to Thomas Sergeant : parents were : Edward Dunn (land steward) & Mary Ann Dunn m.s Fay

 2nd marriage age 24yrs (28/07/1876) to Robert Hood her parents were ; John Dunne (land steward) & Margaret Dunne .m.s Elliot

on her death certificate parents are John Dunne Land steward & Margaret Dunne m.s Elliot

I also have an extract from census return of 1851 (cen S/22/4) I dont know if this was needed for her pension or something ? its dated 8/10/1920 Parents are listed as Edward Dunn & Mary Ann Fay and the address of the "applicant" is my great grandmothers in Glasgow. theres lots of wee scribbled notes on it too

I also noticed although there was 6 years between those marriages my great grandmother only aged by 3yrs   ;D ;D

I would be most grateful if someone could help solve this riddle please
