What is meant by New North, Edinburgh

Interesting 

If he was a puddler, it could explain his move to Swansea - Iron and Steel industry, etc.

Have you tried Yorkshire - Middlesbrough area for the 1871?

  Just found them in 1871 - indexed as McDeide -  father John and mother Jane....

I'll have a look in the morning if you haven't found them.

Thank you for your continued efforts MonicaLesl & Gadget.

James McQuade's wife in Swansea was born Mary Jenkins, and was a widow at the time of her marriage to James with daughters Catherine & Ethel Lawrence.

I have found the 1881 Thornaby Jas. Mcquade before, but discounted him for some reason - will have to delve into my notes and check.

Hello Charlotte 

Could you tell us what occupation James puts down for his father on the marriage certificate, please. We can't move on very much  without it.

Thanks

Unfortunately there is no occupation stated for his father as he is noted as being deceased.

And I assume that you've found that the only Thomas McQuade (alts) dying in Scotland at or before the marriage date was

1893, Thomas McQuade, aged 66, Newington

I had overlooked the death of Thomas McQuade (due to searching up until 1883 instead of 1893!)  Thank you for bringing it to my attention Gadget. As James McQuade married in September 1893 it would seem a possible link.

However, I still have been unable to find a birth of a James where Thomas is the father.  Interestingly, I have found that Thomas & Jane (above & of St Giles) had a son Edward in 1859 that I can find no other record of. I am still searching to see if I can find him with his grandmother or aunts in Leith!

Thank you MonicaLesl, for finding the Stockton McQuade family.  I finally ruled them out after finding the 1871 (recorded as McQuide) gave the father's name as John.

Thank you once again for your help.
