McGirr

[Goretti]

I am searching for a death of Celia McGirr and birth of Christopher McGirr (1904) I know the family lived in Fore St Kilmarnock.

Hi

Scotlands People is the website to search for that info but it is pay per view

I think I have found the birth of Christopher 1904 on Scotland's People free search. If you put in Christopher Magirr, Ayrshire, Kilmarnock an entry comes up. You will need credits to view it. I still can't find Celia's death.

A Cecilia McGuire was born and died 1893, Ayrshire but I haven't gone through all the parishes to find out where she died. Not sure what age group you were looking for.

What was Celia's relationship to Christopher

Was she his mother?

If so - was she married at the time he was born?

If not - perhaps she married later so you would need to establish her married name before looking for a death

Thank you! Christopher was born in Kilmarnock and taken to Ireland almost immediately as his Father dield four months previously. (He later emigrated to Canada). Celia  (His aunt) I have on the 1901 census (Fermanagh) age 9 but apparently she died aged approx 19.
Her sister Isabella married in Kilmarnock to a Robert Murphy and also emigrated to Canada.

I have found the Canadians and the Irish but cannot trace Celia anywhere.

Celia  (His aunt) I have on the 1901 census (Fermanagh) age 9 but apparently she died aged approx 19.

So she possibly died in Ireland - not Scotland

[Goretti]

Well not too sure as I have a gap between 1904 and 1911 the rest of family didn't go to Canada until 1913 from Kilmarnock

Was Celia born in Ireland or Scotland
