Monica - I cant thank you enough! Sorry its taken so long to acknowledge your hard work but I hadn't noticed that you had replied later on with all this information. I clicked on the link for new replies to my posts but this topic never came up for some bizarre reason which is why i turned my attention to posting on the Inverness-shire board.

I've checked out all the information you so kindly provided and it is my ggg grandfather Allan! He's been kind to himself in terms of his age a few times but what's a few years between family? 

I am now heading off to try and get further back on the Kilmallie Camerons. Wish me luck!

Thanks sooooooo much again Monica

Hi Tracey,

I appreciate this is an old post, and you may not even be on here anymore, but I just thought I would pop in. My great great grandfather is James McGimpsey, Christinas First husband! I was just wondering if you are aware of any children they had together? I know they weren't married for long!

Hi Rachael

Welcome to RootsChat 

Just curious. Was James McGimpsey previously married before meeting Christina? Could this be him in 1901?

James McGimpsey 27 coal miner b. Ireland
Maggie McGimpsey 26 b. England
James McGimpsey 7
Barbara McGimpsey 4
Thomas McGimpsey 2
Agnes McGimpsey 8 Months

Address: 127 Roman Rd, Motherwell, Dalziel

Likely not the correct census entry for him as the death in 1902 in Dalziel showed that James McGimpsey as aged 43.

Hi Monica,

Thank you so much

He was married before Christina, but it was to Annie (or Ann) maiden name Thom, and she was born in Motherwell.  I have been struggling to find him in the 1891 census but have just found him with christina in 1901, and it would appear they have 3 children together (from what I can tell on the census).  This family is driving me crazy lol!

Thank you for the info though, McGimpsey isn't really a common name around here (motherwell, scotland) so I'll take note of the census you found, as they will likely be related!
