Hi Mary

Just so things don't confuse, I think there were two couples with the same surnames, Mitchell & McCurdy, having children at the same time, including Joseph and wife Mary McCurdy:

The Cambuslang births are:

1905 - Patrick...died in 1974 in Bellshill
1907 - Catherine...died in 1996 in Cambuslang
1909 - Mary
1912 - Joseph
1914 - Archibald
1917 - John...died in 1931 in Cambuslang
1920 - Edward...died in 2007 in Cambuslang

Just for ref, the Renfrew births showing are:

1901 - Margaret McCurdy
1904 - Emma Johnston
1905 - Emma Adelaide
1907 - Mary Ann McCurdy
1910 - Annie Hotchkiss
1911 - James McCurdy

Parents for these children may have been an Alexander Mitchell and Maggie McCurdy who married in Renfrew in 1891.

Rosie provided earlier the likely family entry in 1921. Again from the general index, this looks like them in Cambuslang in 1911:

Joseph 35
Mary 21
Patrick 5
Kate 3

You do need to look at the original image on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for the full entry.

I have been researching the McCurdy part of this family, in Donegal, and have some specific detail that may have relevance to your searching ... re Alexander Mitchell [1870-1956] and Margaret Frances McCurdy [1872-1960] ... she being a daughter of Thomas McCurdy [1830-1914] and Barbara Johnston [1834-1910] ... he was a son of Thomas McCurdy [1785-1875] and Mary Ann Sawyers [1787-1875]. Barbara was a daughter of Robert Johston and Martha Couborn.

Just wondering which of Alexander Mitchell and Margaret McCurdy's children you descend from?

Hoping to her from you

Shane McCurdy, Magheralin, Northern Ireland

Sorry I can't find a link to these people that you mention, maybe I'm overlooking something. Joseph Mitchell born 1874 in Donegal died 1955 in Glasgow married Mary McCurdy 1905 in Glasgow. That's the nearest I have.

MonicaL mentioned Alexander and Margaret in post #19, to warn you there was two couples with the same surname so not to get them confused.
Confusion appears to be what has just happened.

My apologies - quite right too ..

Mary McCurdy [1890] married Joseph Mitchell [1873 - 1955] on 20 February 1905 at St Charles’ Chapel, Newton, Cambuslang after publication according to the forms of the Roman Catholic Church by Louis De Meulanaire in the presence of John McCurdy and Lizzie Cannon (he was a son of Robert Mitchell, farmer, and Hannah McDade, both of whom were, in 1905, deceased) he was a steelworker, aet 30, from Flanagan’s Building, Westburn, Cambuslang (he signed with his  X  mark), and she was aet 15, living at 24 Dunlop Street, Newtown, Cambuslang. They were living at Cambuslang in 1911C - he was aet 35 and Mary was aet 21, and again in 1921C. He died aet 82, his death being registered in Cambuslang

in turn, we have:

Archibald McCurdy [1846/9 - 2 January 1897] married Catherine Murphy [1860 - 1918] on 23 October 1874 in St. Francis Chapel, Cumberland Street, Glasgow, after banns according to the forms of the Roman Catholic Church by Antonine Scannell in the presence of Eugene Harrington and Ann Murphy (she was a daughter of Daniel Murphy, an iron work labouer, (deceased), and Janet McAulay) he was an iron work furnacement, and a widower, aet 33, of 293 Thistle Street, Hutchesontown, Glasgow and she was a domestic servant, aet 26, also living at 2923 Thistle Street, Hutchesontown, Glasgow (she signed with her  X  mark) - steelwork labourer of 67 Westburn Rows. He was born at Bogend, Cambuslang - note his surname was recorded as McKurdy on his marriage registration, and as McKardie in 1891 Census

As far as I am aware Archibald and Catherine Murphy McCurdy had:

Archibald [1878]; Patrick [1877]; Isabella [1878]; Elizabeth [1881]; Annie [1884]; John [1886] and Mary [1890]. Patrick and John died unmarried. Archibald had family

I know you already have this detail, from the Mitchell/McDade connection:


Walter Mitchell [c1795 - indicative date] , farmer
Robert Mitchell [1818/29 - 10 April 1898] married Hannah McDaid aka Ellen McDade on 24 September 1864 at Dunfanaghy Registrars Office by John Moffitt, Registrar, in the presence of Hugh Hofferman and Andrew McNutt (she was a daughter of Dominick McDaid, farmer)  he was a farmer, aet 35, from Down, and she was from Kilmacloo, aet 24. She signed with her  X  Mark. His death at Dooen, (registration district of Letterkenny), aet 80, was registered by Robert Mitchell, of Dooen, his son. He was a farmer.

Susan McDaid [1818 - 28 December 1878] - her death at Glenkeeragh, (registration district of Church Hill, (union of Letterkenny) was registered by Ann McDaid, of Glenkeeragh, by her  X  Mark - she was a farmer’s widow, aet 60. Note: Glenkeeragh lies to the west of Letterkenny
   

John Mitchell [27 September 1864] - his birth at Glenkeragh,(registration district of Church Hill, union of Letterkenny) was registered by Susan McDade, grandmother, of Glenkeragh. Father, Robert was a labourer, resident at Doohan. 
   
Susan Mitchell [10 March 1866] - her birth at Glenkerah was registered by Ellen Mitchell, her mother, by her. X. Mark. Her father was a farmer.
   
Joseph Mitchell [1874 - 1955] married Mary McCurdy in 1905 (registration district of Cambuslang) - does this seem right for their children?
    Catherine Mitchell [1907 - 1996] Cambuslang
         Mary Mitchell [1909] Cambuslang
         Joseph Mitchell [1912] - Cambuslang
         Archibald Mitchell [1914] - Cambuslang
         John Mitchell [1917 - 1931] Cambuslang
         Edward Mitchell [1920 - 2007] Cambuslang

      Mary Nicholson (descends from one of the above?)

Robert Mitchell [1856 - 4 February 1934] dsp - his death at Dooen, Letterkenny, was registered by Bella Russell, from Dooen. He was a labourer. - death registered on 3 March 1934
(Bella Russell also registered the death of an Eliza Jane Russell [1866 - 20 February 1934], aet 68, from Dooen, a married woman, and wife of a labourer - on 28 February 1934).

Fabulous work well done ! This is what I have for you....
Archibald McCurdy and Catherine Murphy's kids
Patrick 1877-1895
Archibald 1878-1936
Isabella 1879-
Elizabeth 1881-1956
Annie 1883-1946
John 1885-1913
Mary 1889-1920

Joseph Mitchell and Mary McCurdys kids
Patrick 1905-1974
Catherine 1907-1996
Mary 1909-1911
Joseph 1912-1973
Archibald 1914-1917
John1917-1931
Edward 1920-2007

Walter Mitchell died aft 1864
I didn't know Robert Mitchell had a son called Robert
I'm assuming Ann McDaid would have been short for Hannah ?

Going by my DNA results I have a huge amount of DNA matches linked to this family and all indications are pointing to me being a descendent of Joseph Mitchell 1912-1973, the closest I can get is a half first cousin the older generation don't want to do their DNA test. Hope this is of some help to you.
