What is meant by New North, Edinburgh

I think I'm missing a link here. Just realised, who is Thomas? Is that the name for father on James's 1893 MC?

Thanks Monica 

We need to get the occupation from Charlotte but it was the only McQuade (variations) family that seemed to be having children in Leith in the 1855-1860 peiod.

No sign of a Thomas with a James on the 1861 either, however you spell the name.

PS -Thomas is the name on the marriage cert but you never know with info given

Not much help with the 1901 Census in Swansea. Children showing as born in Swansea:

James McQuade    49, general labourer, b. Leith Scotland
Mary E McQuade    40, b. Bridgend, Glamorgan
Catherine A McQuade 15
Ethel McQuade    9
Annie E McQuade 7
Mabel L McQuade 2
Lizzie H McQuade 1

I assume at least daughters Catherine and Ethel may have been from a first marriage for wife Mary?

I was wondering if they could be a first marriage of James 

It's a difficult surname to wildcard - i ended up with a page of McLeods at one stage    So if anyone is looking for McLeods b. Edinburgh in the 1850s  .............

No chance of James son of Fransisco being the right one    I can see him right through to 1901 in the later part with wife Bridget....I was warming up to him

Thanks Gadget, I was just about to go looking for them.  Still doesn't show what father's occupation was. Let's see when Charlotte pops back.

The only McQuade (and obvious variants) births showing in Swansea from 1885-1910. These fit with a marriage date of 1893:

Births Sep 1894   
McQuade    Annie Elizabeth   Swansea    11a   893

Births Sep 1897 
McQuade    Willie         Swansea    11a   990   

Births Sep 1898 
McQuade    Mabel Letitia         Swansea    11a   1021   

Births Mar 1900 
McQuade    Lizzie Annie         Swansea    11a   1030   

Births Sep 1901   
McQUADE    Emily         Swansea    11a   1033   

No more clues there.

From the marriage index, his wife was Mary Elizabeth Lawrence, if that's any help. I'm thinking of turning in now

Poor you 

I saw the Lawrence ref. The first daughter at least was registered under surname of Lawrence.

I found this family in Thornaby, York, England in 1881....can't as yet find them in the earlier censuses:

 Jas. MC QUADE      Head       27      b. Scotland      Puddler      
 Mary MC QUADE      Sister   25      b. Scotland            
 Rose MC QUADE      Sister   21      b. Durham, England            
 John MC QUADE      Brother 14     b. South Stockton, York, England      Moulder (Iron)      
 Margaret MC QUADE     Sister 11     b. South Stockton, York, England            
 John MC QUADE      Nephew  5                  
 Annie MC QUADE      Neice   2 m      South Stockton, York, England
