Hi Kim,

Thanks a lot, especially for the interesting Griffiths valuations link. I had already found the 2nd death, and got a copy of the register, but this James Boylan was a railway platelayer (not a mason), who was single. His parents were Thomas and Mary, so I have discounted that one.

I have tried to find the 1st one you mention, but I can't find it on Scotlands People. Where did you come across this one?

I know this is really cheeky, but could someone with access please confirm that Thomas's mother Margaret, sorry Sarah (thanks for the correction), still has the status 'married' rather than 'widowed' in the 1901 census? Census roll is CSSCT1901_283. Address is 30 Taylor Street.

Thanks again all, for your continued help and suggestions!

Hi

Think you mean Thomas's mother Sarah in 1901 at 30 Taylor Street. They are shown as boarders. She is recorded as married and with occupation of paper bag maker.

Thanks William - I did indeed mean Sarah (Margaret was her mother)! Forgive me, its been a long day 
Thanks for the info though, which suggests James was still alive at that point.

Hi again,
What a pity about the 1898 death of  a James Boylan, although obviously the age was a good bit out.

What I'm finding a bit odd is that other than the marriage cert you have and Thomas's birth cert we don't actually have any other trace of James.

Hi, found the 1st James Boylan on Scotlands people in the Catholic records.Is there any possibility that James may have emigrated and told Sarah he would send for her and didn't? Hope this helps,Kim

Thanks again for the recent thoughts and updates.
I am wondering about two possibilities - either, as Kim suggested, he emigrated and his wife never saw him again, else James was a middle name, and he was also known as something different, possibly death registered with the different name?
I agree it is strange that we only have these 2 records of him.

Hiya,
Yes it's very possible that James Boylan emigrated and either died or disappeared!
I think you need to find him on a Census because all you have is his marriage cert (when you would assume he would have provided the information) and his name on Thomas's birth cert.
I think it's odd that we have found his "parents" Lawrence and Charlotte and yet we haven't found him with them on the 1871 /1881/1891 Census.

Oops - Just rechecking information on this thread and noticed I've made a wee error. Sorry

In 1871 James Boylan aged 10 with parents John and Mary-Ann is living at 7 Eglinton Place which is the same address as Laurence, Charlotte and their 3 sons.  This address would more than likely have been a tenement split into small flats. The families are definitely not in the same household as I have looked at original for James. The other Boylans although at same address must be on the next page 
Having 2 Irish Boylan families in one building, I would strongly suspect the 2 were connected. It also makes me wonder about this boy James who at 10 must have been born circa 1860/61.   I wonder what became of him??
