James Dalrymple Coatbridge

[Chris5856]

Im really struggling to find out what happened to this man.

James arrived in Coatbridge around 1900 with his wife Rosetta. They had four kids. Mary, Robert John, Hannah and Daniel all before 1907. Between the last birth and 1911, Rosetta is committed to Hartwood and is there on 1911 census. She will remain there until her death in 1953. The death certificate says married to James Dalrymple which indicates he may still have been alive by then. The children return to Ireland to be brought up by Rosetta's sister. James just disappears. I can't find a death for him, nothing. He was born in Antrim on 17 April 1879. Ive searched ancestry and Scotlands People without success.

Any help would be appreciated. Chris

Hi Chris,

What was your James's occupation ?
There is a probate of will showing James Dalrymple died on 8/1/1908, a farmer from Connor county, Antrim.
There is also a birth forJames Dalrymple b.17/4/1879 in Gorteighy, Antrim , with parents Robert and Mary Dalrymple McKenna .
Found on familysearch site which is free to view.

Hi Skippy,

Thanks for that. I have the birthday ok. I had a look at the wills, its not him. He was an Iron work labourer in 1901 and Iron Heater in 1904

Cheers for trying though

Hi Chris, it's a long shot, but drop an email to the Medical Archivist to see if there is any information available on Rosetta they could release to you.  You never know what they could turn up for you in terms of next of kin etc.

Chris have you checked marriages for his children to see if he is recorded as deceased on any of them?

Possible marriage for Robert John in 1926 and states father James is a farmer
