Find Ancestors

Wonder if anyone can help I am looking for a marriage the husband is Malcolm McFiggins born 1837 in Cobourg Ontario Canada.
His parents were John McFiggins b1809 in Scotland
Ellen Fairburn b c1810 in Scotland

John emigrated to Scotland at some time but I cannot establish exactly when, but he and Ellen married in Canada and had a family.

I know Malcolm had 2 sons Frederick F b 1872 died 1944
George B b1879 died 1894 aged about 12 - both born in New York USA.

I know that Fred then went into the care of his uncle and aunt John and Charlotte McFiggins and lived with them and their son Donald for quite some years.

So what I am trying to find his Malcolms wife and the mother of Frederick and George
Many thanks

Name: Malcolm McFiggin???
Spouse: M. Ann Skinner
Marriage: 14 Jan 1874 - Haldimand Township, Ontario, Canada
Marriage: 1874

I have this one think it is a cousin but not the right Malcolm, thanks for looking

Have you looked on Familysearch? The 1880 US census is there.

He's also showing on New York State 1892 census.

Frederick appears to be born c1870 and George c1878. No wife is listed.

I can't seem to find any thing on Malcolm McFiggins

Lots on him on Familysearch. Also the 1870 census.

Ok thanks for that, do you have any tips for finding the information, maybe they weren't married,
Do they have birth records that state mothers name that are accessible?

Fred was born Sept 1869. Mother looks to be Mary J.

007055 - 74 Malcolm McFIGGIN, 50, plasterer, Scotland, Colborne, s/o Malcolm McFIGGIN & Elizabeth MOODIE, married Mary Ann SKINNER, 36, Aberdeenshire Scotland, Haldimand, d/o James SKINNER & Isabella Kennedy, witn. George SKINNER & Mary MULHOLLAND of Haldimand, Jan. 14 1874, at Haldimand

From this site:

Edit: oops, sorry, wrong one and already been posted.

But this one looks like his sister:

Vol.2, p.94 - George WILLIAMSON, 28, sea captain, Edinburgh ­ Scotland, Cobourg, s/o Donald WILLIAMSON & Isabella HUNTER, married Agnes McFIGGAN, 23, Cobourg, Cobourg, d/o John McFIGGIN & Ellen FAIRBAIRN, witn: George GUILLET of Cobourg & Benjamin WILLIAMSON of Hamilton Twp., 10 Oct.1869 at Cobourg. (also vol 2, pg 106)

I have worked this out the Malcolm McFiggins b1821 married to Mary Ann Skinner they were married in 1874 . These are my Malcolm's uncle and aunt.

Another sister? Married brother of the one who married Agnes?

Vol.8, p.61 - Alexander WILLIAMSON, 34, farmer, Scotland, Hamilton Twp., s/o Donald & Isabella; married Christina McFIGGIN, 22, Cobourg, Cobourg, d/o John & Ellen; witn: William WILLIAMSON & Lallie McFIGGIN, both of Cobourg; 17 Nov.1870 at Cobourg

Yes that's his sister and I haven't got her marriage, so thank you very much

Lovely thank you

Marriage of son of Alex Williamson & Christina McFiggin:

012663-01 (Northumberland Co) Donald S. WILLIAMSON, 28, farmer, Camborne, same, s/o Alex WILLIAMSON & Christina McFIGGIN, married Louisa FINNEMORE, 23, Cobourg, same, d/o W. H. FINNEMORE & Mary S. POUND, witn Susan E. PHINEMORE of Cobourg & Thomas L. McBRIDE of Camborne, 18 Sept 1901 at Cobourg

Thanks very much for you help, have filled in a few more gaps, but not the orginal query , certain is a bit of a mystery that one

There's a lengthy article in the Rochester NY Democratic Chronicle, 1894 about the death of George. It's very difficult to read.

Just type in Malcolm McFiggin it's the only one that comes up.
