James Currie and Margaret Lindsay

Hi the problem is accessing the site I already had a usercode but could not remember my password they sent me one but it still would not access I asked for usercode and password to be sent but again no go Then I tried with my husbands details it showed as ok but again it wont go any further I have not bought any credits yet I was going to do that when I knew I could get onto the site

Dont know what I am doing wrong I think I will have to take a trip to the local library and try to look at pre 1871 census returns to try and find them if he was still a bricklayer (if it was a farm lab I have hundreds) I may be able to find him as a single man with his parents

Hi Carolyn

We may have had some contact in the past but I lose track! James and Margaret were my great-grandparents, and their daughter, Jane, was my grandmother, so it would appear that our grandmothers were sisters. Jane was on the 1881 census but in 1891, living elsewhere in Widnes, she was working as a servant.

James and Margaret were married 11 December 1863 at St Mary's Chapel, Glasgow, by John McGinnis.
James's parents were Thomas Currie, Labourer (deceased) and Ellen McDonald.
Margaret's parents were Edward Lindsay, Labourer, (deceased) and Margaret Savage (deceased)
James's occupation was shown as Bricklayer, Journeyman.
Witnesses were Mary Ure and Edward Lindsay.

Hope this fills in some gaps!

Best wishes

Your cousin, Marie.

Hi Marie

Yes we have been in contact before and are the same family but my grandmother was Margaret Hynnes daughter of Margaret Currie so that makes my Gt Grandmother and your Grandmother sisters (I think that is right)

Keep in touch
