McGilvrays in scotland

[MonicaL]

This is Charles Snr.'s line from what I am seeing www.mullgenealogy.co.uk/MullSearch.ASP?indv_no=12371

His brother Neil b. 24 MAY 1864 Milton looks to be living with him and wife Sarah in 1881, although on the transcript I am looking at he is showing as 'son' (you would have to check the original index for this on SP if you don't have it already). Charles and Sarah in 1881:

Charles McGilvray 28, blacksmith b. Glasgow
Sarah McGilvray 30 b. Glasgow
Thomas McGilvray 9 Month b. Glasgow
James Baird McGirty 2 b. Glasgow
Neil McGilvray 15, son  Pappersmith (?spl.) b. Glasgow
Alexander McGilvray 45, lodger b. Aberdeen

Address: 14 Muirhead St, Partick, Lanarkshire

Where have you confirmed Charles' mother as a Campbell. From what I am seeing on entries, her surname was BOWIE...

Monica

Hi Monica

From 1876 marriage cert of Charles parents listed as:-

Charles McGilvray
Blacksmith Jouneyman
and Janet McGilvray
m.s. Campbell deceased

A Janet Bowie/McGilvary (as indexed on SP) died in Milton in 1876, with a birth year of 1823 which would fit for your Charles' mother.

Sorry George, our posts crossed over.

Everything is pointing to Bowie for Janet  I wonder if a mistake was made at the time of the marriage registration. Have you been able to check Charles' death entry? Going by that Mull link I gave earlier, his death is showing in 1916.

Hi folks - thanks your messages.  It is my understanding that my Mcgilvray's came from the Renfrewshire area, but in saying that there could be a
connection with the above information somewhere.   I am still searching and will come back if I find a link. In the meantime thanks for your interest and replies.

Yes this would tie in with the birth cert. I have of son Thomas b. 2 Jul 1880 the parents Charles and Sarah (Ross) and address are a match.

How do you manage to come up so quickly with this stuff? Its amazing! Thanks

The writing on the marriage cert is not the clearest but it definitely looks more like Campbell rather than Bowie lol??? I will have to check out the death cert. to be sure.

Why don't you email the lady who has put the McGilvray tree on Mull Genealogy and compare notes. Given she is showing Charles' death date, I would imagine she is descended from the line of Charles and Sarah.
