Yes that is a line I could follow, thank you for your time and trouble.

I am fairly new to this so I did expect a few obstacles to get in the way but its all part of the learning process I guess.

Just had a look at Charles' death entry. The Mull tree is correct, his death shows on 21 November 1916. Sadly, his death was at the Barnhill Poorhouse and his death reported by the Governor. Sarah Ross was deceased by now.

Parents Charles, a ploughman, and mother Janet BOWIE.

Had a look at the 1916 death cert. of Charles McGilvray but I dont think he is the one I am after.

He had 3 marriages
1. Agnes Laird
2. Margaret McGilvray
3. Mary Buchanan

died aged 66 (birth year 1850) I think my Charles was more around 1855, and profession was Engine Fitter Journeyman not Blacksmith Journeyman

Back to the drawing board tomorrow lol.

It's a funny spelling for McGilvray :  Charles MCGILLIVRAY in 1916

There are two entries - I also looked at the other one first  ;D

Hi Eiggam and Monica

Moncia, maybe its the PM you sent me last night that is under discussion?

When you posted you did not say who you were sending the PM to.

Thanks again for all your help just going to sit down now and try and place all the information in my ever expanding chart!
