Torphichen

Sorry my other comment has been removed due to it being so recent, so ive been guided to ask if any one has any connections to an Agnes Hughes Marshall who spent some time in torphichen as a farm servant in the 1930s and also a Thomas McBride who was a wood turner living at 46 Russel Row also in the 1930s.

Maybe my reply to your earlier posting disappeared before you could read it. Agnes Hughes Marshall is a very distictive name. You could search for a marriage for her some time after the birth. The marriage certificate will give her age and details about her parents. You could also search the index back to find her birth, assuming she was born in Scotland. You could also look for a marriage for Thomas McBride and for Thomas McBride births. You will be able to narrow down candidates and eventually hit on the right ones. You could also search for a death for Agnes Hughes Marshall.

Hollie is the middle name definately Hughes.I can't find a birth for an Agnes Hughes Marshall but there is one for an Agnes Euphemia Marshall in Torphichen in 1912.

Hiya

Its on the extract of entry in a register of births name, surname and rank of proffession and maiden name of mother.
Thomas McBride Wood Turner and Agnes Hughes Marshall Farm Servant. But it is signed as Agnes Marshall.

I wouldn't take them as cut and dried as my own grandmother had two middle names missing on her entry even though I know for sure she had them.Don't give up though,you will get a lot of help on here I'm sure.My grandfather was illigitimate yet I now have one side of his family back to 1775.Have to go to work but I wil have a look when I am free.Meanwhile click on the link below and you can see my search for my McBrides.I started with very little info and ended up with rellies from all over the place

Hi Hollie,in your earlier post you said Thomas McBride was living in Bathgate.Now I am not saying yet that this is your Thomas but between 1855 and 1920 there was only one Thomas McBride born in Bathgate and that was in 1900 and none in Torphichen.If he turns out to be yours then I know where his parents were born.The 1911 census is available in April so we can see if he is still there then and if he is still the only one.

Good Morning,

                  I have been searching all morning and found the Thomas McBride that was born in Bathgate in 1900 died when he was 3 months old. So back to square one again.

I think the best idea is to wait until 1911 census is available as I have found alot of families continue to use the same name for a baby who they have lost for the next one. So maybe Bridget went on to have another Thomas McBride. What do you think?
