Agnes Craig

[MonicaL]

A daughter Ann was born in 1870, so that will be who is 1 in 1871 www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQ36-D6R

Family search have the 1871 entry www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VBP8-FF5

Agnes is transcribed as Ann. Ann is a common name variant of Agnes and interchangeable.

Ive found a record in 1881 Its the same address 93 Green street like in the 1871 census i found.

Annie Marshall is the head, she's a widow and a House Cleaner

Agnes Marshall, 18 cotton weaver
John Marshall, 14
Alexander Marshall, 7
John Marshall, 28 Shoemaker

I've found that Alexander Marshall died in 1870 in Glagow Royal Infirmary but usual resience was 93 Green Street  so this would confirm the census ive found are correct as if Ann was often used interchangably for agnes that Annie would make sense as a nickname.

Alexander Snr's death 1880 rather than 1870...

Sounds like you are making all the right connections now Calvin 

You still have the issues  around the parents of Agnes but you have been able to find out lots about her family once she married Alexander Marshall.

In case you haven't seen these entries, there were two Alexanders born in 1873 and 1874. First looks to have died as a baby.

One issue with Alexander's Snr's age if it was 1880, the census entries by wivenhoe are for another family?

The parents on the death cert you have for Alexander, does it match with the parents you have from his marriage cert?

wivenhoe, I think the census entries you posted are for another family. This is the birth index for daughter Mary, mother shows as Agnes Hastie (which explains the ref you found to that surname) www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQH8-YJ3

i have Alexander as having died 1871 parents are correct and wife's name is Agnes Craig, so that seems to be correct as well as the usual place of residence being correct,

[MonicaL]

If he died in 1871, who fathered the two sons called Alexander in 1873 and 1874 indexed by FS above
