Who was the mother of William Fullerton?

[Blairvadach]

Hi Neale, Ambly and Rosie.
I have just caught up with your recent posts and need to get my head around this information!!
Thank you so much for your  help in solving this puzzle!

I should have known that John and Janet were Williams grandparents……it was good that he left us an obvious clue about who his birth mother was!
I now have Janet’s death certificate…father Joseph McGaw (farmer) and mother Elizabeth White.
Thanks again.

Hi Neale, Ambly and Rosie

Spent this afternoon looking into the information that you provided and found out that…..

Elizabeth Mary Fullerton, 35, spinster married Adam Moore 42 years old, widow on 27.4.1877 in Busby.

They had four children.
1. Letitia Moore1878
2. David Galbraith Moore 1879 and he died 1957 in Bonhill
3.Kate Moore and died in infancy 1881
4. Joseph McGaw Moore born 1882 and died 1961 in Bonhill
 Adam Moore died in 1884
Elizabeth died in 1920 as per your information.

I have Johns DC

I also have the 1911 census Elizabeth in 40 Mitchell Street with sons David and Joseph ( both men were sewing machine workers and the only place they could be working at is the famous Singer factory in Clydebank ( my home town)

It’s interesting that the parents were still in Renfrewshire in the 1901 census and probably moved to Bonhill to be looked after.
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers Tam

In 1905 Susan Hart died on 16th August 1905. She died of cardiac arrest and seems she had a heart condition for two years. Her address was 40 Mitchell Street,Alexandria and this is the same address for my grandmother who was born in 1910……. this is the same address that was registered for John and Janet when they died….so William must have taken them in to look after them before they died ❤️

Sometime between the 1901 census and Susan’s death the family move to Bonhill. This move is likely due to work. We know that Renfrewshire is well known for cotton and the famous Paisley pattern!!! Aexandria is also very well know for it’s Calico print works….

In the 1911 Census William and his family are now living at 42 Random Street, Bonhill, Alexandria
William Fullerton 46 Cloth worker at Calico print works.
Grace 38
James 16  Cloth worker at Calico print works.
Janet 14
Lizzie 12
Margaret 11
Grace 6
William 3
Helen 1

In 1891 census for John Fullerton and Janet McGaw, there is a James Fullerton, age 6 recorded as a nephew.
I was curious about who he was. Now, I think he was actually a grand-nephew.

He was James Love FULLERTON born 3 Jan 1885 "Thorny Bank" (sic), Eastwood; died 1965 in Pennsylvania USA.
He was the son of  James FULLERTON and Sophia LOVE.

James Fullerton - Sophia Love marriage in 1881 Eastwood
        Mother - Sophia (Love) FULLERTON born 1857 Scotland, died 1933 USA
       Father – James FULLERTON born 14 May 1856 Ballymena, Ireland. Died 1924 USA

James Fullerton was a Printfield labourer, Eastwood in 1881-1901 Scotland census.
He and his family emigrated to Delaware County, Pennsylvania in dribs ‘n’ drabs between abt 1906 – 1910.
James Fullarton’s USA death and his marriage record show he was the son of Alexander Fullerton and Agnes Rae.

Alexander FULLERTON married Agnes REA in 1848 Ballymena

Alexander Fullerton Death in 1879 Ballymena (age 53) ie born abt 1826
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1879/06509/4874457.pdf

I believe Agnes (“Nancy”) age 54 is in the 1881 census at 63 Herriot St Pollokshaws, with her son James and family.
She remarried in 1884 Ballymena to Samuel TELFORD, and she died in Ballymena in 1903.
