My James McIntosh has disappeared!!

[mcaussie]

Hi all

I have records of James McIntosh born on 18 March 1850, married to Margaret Gordon but cannot find his father, James McIntosh.
This James McIntosh is supposed to be married to Isabel Watt, Have found census on her for 1851
with Ann Watt, James McIntosh (1850) and Alexander Watt (mothers son).
Found another census in 1861, James living with Ann Watt and Alexander Watt(Ann's husband).
Cannot find this boy living with father or married to mother.
Could he have died?
I am going crazy looking for this James McIntosh, not sure if I have the wrong names from someone elses research.
Would I get more info from acual birth/death certs?

Thanks if anyone could help me

Hi

Firstly do you have James Mcintosh and Margaret Gordons marriage cert?

If so, what does it say for Mother of James ie. Isabel Mcintosh M/s Watt or Isabel Watt?

It may be that James McIntosh senior and Isabel were not married.

Next, what was James seniors occupation?

If you do not have James and Margarets marriage record I would suggest you get it from Scotlands people along with James jnrs death cert in the first instance.

hi mcaussie 

the IGI  has james mcintosh born 18th march 1850 glass aberdeenshire
parents james mcintosh and isabel watt

the 1851 census on freeCEN has isabella watt as unmarried
glass aberdeenshire
anne watt head married 44
isabella watt daug. unm. 22
alexr. watt son - 5
james mcintosh grnson - 1 born glass

by 1861 census it sound like he was living with his grandparents

Hi

Thanks for your suggestions.
I am about to change internet provider to much faster one, will go to get birth and death certs after I change email etc.
Have signed up to ancestry.com.au for a while now but have hit a brick wall on that site for more information.

Thanks

HI
Just an update, have joined Scotlandspeople and got some info but not what I want. Can't find death certs for Isabella Watt or birth certs for James McIntosh. What would everyone recommend I do next?
Thanks all

hi 

found a tree here which may be of some help -

http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2963475&id=I208

i would check this against what you have already as i don't know how accurate
it is

ev

ps james mcintosh born 1850 would not have a birth certificate on
     scotlandspeople as records began in 1855
     he does appear on the old parish records for scotlandspeople but if you pay
     to view this the info. might be limited to what you know already

as Norma suggested in post no. 2 the marriage cert. of james mcintosh and
margaret gordon would be worth looking at
the IGI(FAMILY SEARCH) has this -
marriage 7th december 1872 huntly aberdeenshire
james mcintosh and maggie gordon

1881 bucharn cottage gartly aberdeen
james mcintosh 31 ag. lab. born glass banff(?)
maggie mcintosh 36 b. keith banff
charles g anderson 12 stepson b. gordon berwick
james mcintosh 7 b. huntly aberdeen
alexander w(att) mcintosh 6 b. drumblade aberdeen
maggie a mcintosh 3 b. gartly aberdeen
jeanie mcintosh 1 b. gartly aberdeen
william s mcintosh 4 months b. gartly aberdeen

Hi
Thanks for the info, Ev I tried to get that marriage cert but it wasn't available. That family tree I have contacted that Mr McIntosh, will have to try again as he lives in Scotland and I think he knows some of my living relations over their. He might be able to find some more info. I am just getting frustrated as I've come to a stop at this James McIntosh and Isabella Watt.
I know this can take years, but like everyone i want the info now!!
Thanks for all your help

I had a look at James McIntosh and Maggie Gordons marriage cert (noseyness got the better of me).
 and it looks like his parents were not married nor does it look like either were deceased when James jnr got married.

If you pm me your email address Iwill send you the cert.
