I think the Patrick showing in 1871 as McAroom is probably a Carlin given that there is a Patrick Carlin b. Ireland in 1881 Coatbridge married to a Catherine, young children also born there.

Still trying to find the family in 1881/91 (and feed the brood  ) ~ may be a little while but will pick up once it is all quiet on the Western Front...

In the 1891 census after her marriage in 1884 Mary Ann gives her birthplace as Ireland but the 1871 census says Lanarkshire. I am hoping it is Lanarkshire as it may give the place of John's 1st marriage

Jean, that birth for James is to John and his 2nd wife Mary Ann but he is not on the 1871 census. I cant find a death for him between 1869 and 1871

Ok, for 1881, the family down as MCILROY:

John McIlroy    43, Ironwork Labr., b. Ireland
Mary Ann McIlroy 50, b. Ireland
John Carlin    24, stepson, Ironworker Roller, b. Coatbridge
Catherine Carlin 17, stepdaughter, coatbridge
William McGrorty 10, boarder, b. Coatbridge
Edward Finnigan 24, boarder
John Aitcheson    25, boarder

Address: Dundyvan Rd Browns Land, Coatbridge

Mary Ann must be away from home perhaps working?

Ok....neck is extended one more time....what about this one???

1864 MCARRL MARY F OLD MONKLAND (EASTERN DISTRICT) /LANARK 652/03 0032

Yeah I know I know the mother's maiden name seems wrong.....and on top of that I'm not finding a marriage when they say it should be.......but father is John and an Iron puddler...and mother Elizabeth....

These people love to be difficult!!

I'm beginning to think that Mary Ann was born in Ireland. I've looked for a death record for Bessy Teven pre 1868 when John married Mary Ann Carlin

[MonicaL]

Most likely Sancti. I haven't been able to find her in 1881 to check her birth place. You have her in 1891 showing Ireland which is the most likely.  1901 may worthwhile checking, let's hope her married name is a far sight easier to search than her maiden name    You now have John and second wife Mary Ann in 1871,1881 and 1901.  Spent a while on the 1891 last night and no joy.

Also had a look for the death of their child James that JustJean found birth details for- again couldn't see it either.  Goodness knows how that has been indexed.

Thanks for all your help folks. Next step is to visit the church in Coatbridge where the marriages took place. Surely the Irish priest at the time will have the right name recorded 

[JustJean]

A visit to the priest sounds like an excellent plan.  I would love to hear what their interpretation of the name is!! 

I too have not nailed a death of wee James 

Best wishes
