James Currie and Margaret Lindsay

[carolynb]

Hi can anyone help me with the following

1881 census for Widnes Lancashire
James Currie age 40 born Scotland bricklayer
Margaret Currie 39 wife born Scotland
James Currie 15 born Scotland
 six more children  Margetet Edward and Mary Agnes born Manchester and Jane Elizabeth and Annie born Widnes

I know from family members that Margaret was Margaret Lindsay and they came from the Glasgow area  I have found a marriage on family search pilot for
James Currie and Margaret Lindsay 11 dec 1863 Bridgeton Glasgow and a birth for James Currie
10 oct 1865 with James Currie and Margaret Lindsay shown as parents

Can anyone help me with census details prior to 1881  for them both to perhaps help me any details of this couple that will help me

Thanks Carolyn

In 1891 (RG12/3011/127/44 ) the family is still in Widnes, but Margaret is a widow - let me know if you want the details

Unfortunately James Currie and Margaret Lindsay are not particularly uncommon names, so finding them in Scotland in 1861 or earlier is going to be tricky without their parents' names.  Do you have (or can you get) these?

Hi
Sorry I dont know who their parents names

The only thing I know is that James was a bricklayer and the names of the children
James abt 1865 Margaret abt 1868 Edward 1870 Mary Agnes 1872 Jane 1875 Elizabeth 1877 Annie 1880
The only other info I have is the marriage took place in Bridgeton Glasgow and James was a bricklayer on both 1871 and 1881 census

Sorry that is all I have the marriage I have only just found on family search pilot

I.G.I also has a Thomas Currie born 16 Dec.1863 (5 days after marriage) with parents James Currie and Margaret Lindsay. It may be a coincidence with parents' names being the same but it is in Calton district (which is where James was born 2 years later).

Hi Carolyn

Do you want the 1891 details or have you already got them?

Hi
Thanks for that it would also put another male name in the family IF they stuck to using family names for their children
My line is from Margaret  she went on to marry Edward Hynes in Widnes and both her daughter and grandaughter carried the name Margaret  it was a thought that childrens names may show up on previous census returns as parents or brothers/sist

The 1891 details would be great thanks
