Hi

I checked Scotlands People and sure enough Daniel and Gila were married on the 14th of November 1859 in Port Glasgow at St Johns church, the parents of Daniel are James McGarrigol and Catherine Cunningham, I cannot really make out who the parents for Gila are the writing is not very clear. My connection to this line (my fathers side) is their son John married Bridget Welsh in 1888 at the same venue, they are my Great Grandparents. I would dearly love to find out which area of Ireland they came from, I am presuming it would be the same for both of them, though we cannot be sure of that. I have traced my mothers line back to Antrim but I am struggling with this one probably due to not knowing how or where to look, and I suppose the name variables throws up other lines, if anyone could give me some more ideas I would willingly pursue, that would include a visit to Ireland to check any forms of information that might be out there.

Thanks Aghadowey for your reply, the information I have, has been taken from "Scotlands People". The 1881 census shows both my great great Grandparents Daniel McGarrigle and Julia McGarrigle (McColl) were both born in Ireland, their siblings are shown as being born in my hometown in Scotland, what I did notice however was that on the death certificate for Daniel McGarrigle, his name appeared to have been changed to Dennis he passed away in 1909 and his wife in 1914. I have got their birthdates to around 1840-1850 as their appears to be conflicting ages on certain documents I have traced. My other Great Great Grandparents on my mothers side appear to be as daunting as I cannot find them anywhere, they were both from Ireland also. I will take one step at a time, as

Trying to track down the birthplace of my Great Great Grandfather Daniel McGarrigle. Having tried all websites that I know about the only Daniel McGarrigle  I have came across was in Convoy around 1857, he married a lady by the name of Julia McColl, I believe they came over to Scotland around the 1870 mark. Would appreciate it if anyone a lot more experienced than myself could steer me in the right direction and give me a few pointers on the best way to try and find out this information.
