Gold Family - Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire

If James Gold died 1875 then she could not be a widow in 1874

Everything else fits

James Gold married to Helen Frame died 4.12.1872 at Law Crossing, Carluke.  His parents were Daniel Gold and Grace Clarkson.  This is the same James Gold who married Helen in 1861 - names of parents match.  On all the certificates I have seen Helen signed with a X.

Sysnode - If George Gold was 8 years old in 1888 when he entered New York that doesn't match the birth you gave of 12.7.1879.

That explains the marriages

George hadn't reached his 9th birthday in 1888 when he arrived in New York

It looks like the George born in 1879 is the George registered as George Stoddart Ferguson or Frame

The Stoddart may be a clue to his father's name.

Poor Relief records may give more info but they are not online

George's sister - Margaret Frame Ferguson born 13.2.1875  4.30p.m. at 57 Stewarton Street, Wishaw to Daniel Ferguson and Helen Ferguson previously Gold MS Frame married 12.6.1874 Cambusnethan.  Again signed Helen Ferguson her X mark.

It is a known fact that may people changed or shortened their names when going to America.  I guess it is possible that Ferguson and Stoddart changed their names to Gold?

Kylsyth; would you be willing to email me the certificates that you have?

My Great Grand Father George Gold was born on July 12, 1879; He died in 1926 in Patton, Pennsylvania.  His Wife Elizabeth Grinnin was still alive when I was born. 

All of the dates for this James Gold and Helen Frame/Ferguson do not match up to the confirmed dates I have.  I only have these confirmed dates and confirmed names to go on with my search.  I am not convinced that the James Gold and Helen Frame are the correct members of my family tree.

I've sent you a personal message.
