Find Ancestors

Thanks for everyone who has responded.

the info will give me at least another couple of footholds to try and expand this branch of the family.

Can't wait until the 1911 Census comes out for Scotland, should hold a lot of avenues to search.

Cheers Everyone
Iain

Iain....Not exactly your branch but have found the following relating to Alexanders McKendricks wife Mary Logan...

Parents Nathaniel Logan and Elizabeth Lennox Logan.

They married 31 December 1872 and Elizabeths father was James Lennox a Cooper of Hillend Greenock.

Nathaniel Logan (occ.Rigger) died 12 March 1896 aged 56yrs at 6 Ann Street Greenock.

Found a marriage for Arthur

Arthur McKendry 30 married Annie Wooler26
on 29 Dec 1917 while they were both residing at 9 East Shaw Street

his parents as before

hers James Wooler Iron moulder
Martha Wooler m/c Picket

witnesses were C Williams and M Edwards

not quite sure why his death cert indicates that there is a marriage before but there is definately a space above Anne Wooler


edit had another look at the death cert

it has

McKendrick Arthur

Married?
Annie Wooler

so I am now thinking that the person who registered the death was uncertain as to whether they actually married rather than there being a first wife and thats why the married? is there

Found Arthur atlast

Arthur McKendry
dob 18 July 1886

46 Main Street Greenock
father Arthur McKendry
Labourer
mother Elizabeth McKendry
m/s Campbell
married 19 July 1871 West Greenock

again Elizabeth registered the birth by leaving her mark X obv why names are being mixed up she couldn't read to correct the registrar

Also this relative to Robert and Margaret McKerrigan/Kerrigan.

Lizzie daughter of Robert and Margaret Kerrigan died 29 July 1904 aged 21 Months at 19 Prospecthill St. Greenock.

Iain.....

I think these may be relative to Cath. and John Galbraith....

1895... 22 September . Death.

Arthur Galbraith aged 22 months. youngest son of John Galbraith at 9 Ingleston St.Greenock
.
1912...2 July. Death

Lizzie Gabraith aged 9 years and five months at Gateside Hospital 2nd daughter of John and Catherine Galbraith.

1913....22 January...Death.

Arthur son of Catherine and John Galbraith 11 Cresent Street Greenock.

Looks like they named 2 boys Arthur.

Arthur McKendrick
born 4 April 1902
6 Ann St Greenock

parents Alexander (plumber) and Mary McKendrick m/s Logan

this is more than likely the Arthur who I pm you marriage details about I think

and this will be his death I think
4 1981 MCKENDRICK ARTHUR Not Permissible M 78 GREENOCK /RENFREW 640/00 0089 No Image ORDER

Cannot find a marriage for Arthur jnr although it clearly states on his death cert that he is married but I have pm you details of another Arthur who married in 1938 in Greeenock who might be related but he could still be alive so I do not want to post on here

Jackie

Alexander married on 10 Feb 1902 he was 27 Mary Logan was 26 they were both staying at 6 what looks like Ann st Greenock

her parents are Nathaniel Logan Rigger dec and Elizabeth Logan m/s Lennox
witnesses were A W Reid and Margaret Phillips


Alexander widower of Mary McDonald Logan died on4 Sep 1937
in Ann Street Greenock Arthur his son registered the death

Jackie

I cannot see another marriage for him and searching for a marriage for McKendrick and Campbell shows up nothing else either. I think the problem is that because they could not read or write then they could not correct any entries that were wrong and accents could be picked up wrong. The death cert for Arthur definately only has one spouse noted on it so unless the marriage took place before he married Elizabeth and in Ireland I think it is down to illiteracy. There are some wierd and wonderful spellings in my tree

Jackie

Iain

Our death certs give details of all spouses and given the fact that his daughter registered the death she would have known if her dad had remarried so I think it is highly unlikely but I will have a wee look

Jackie

This is one of the problems with older docs, I have Arthur McKendrick as being married to an Elizabeth Campbell in 1871 in Greenock.
I know this is a slight diversion from the McKendrick line, but on her marriage cert it gives Elizabeths parents as Peter Campbell & Cath (what looks like FINNIE). However when you look at Elizabeths death cert, it has Peter Campbell & what looks like Catherine McAuslan. Did Arthur marry twice?
Also as far as I know Alexander McKendrick married a Mary Logan in 1902 (Renfrewshire

Elizabeth Campbell McKerrigan was born on 18 October 1902 at 1 Prospecthill St Greenock to Robert McKerrigan ship plater journeyman and Margatet McKerrigan m/s McKendrick


William McKerriagan was born on 3 March 1904 at 19 Prospecthill ST Greenock parents as before

Margaret KERRIGAN died on 8 March 1905 in Greenock Infirmary
usual residence 19 Prospecthill Street age 24
cause of death enteric fever/lobar pneumonia
death registered by Robert KERRIGAN
they obv dropped the Mc from their name at some point as the parents are a definate match

HI
Thanks for the info, will add to tree sounds like the right info as I did find a 1901 Census having the McKendricks living at 6 Ingelston St, Greenock.
I know their daughter Catherine Campbell McKendrick married my GG Granda John H Galbraith.
Did the other children die young? marry or emigrate, I've noticed that sometimes Scotlandspeople is a little short on info for some people.
Many thanks for those of you who responded though.
Iain
