Find Ancestors

You're welcome :)

Thanks Kentish Maid!

Doummaul, Ireland - perhaps is Drummaul ?

Might be best to obtain a copy of the 1851 census and try to read the birthplace for yourself.

Anne

Just had a look for Doummaul in Ireland but it doesn't exist? DO you think it could be Donegal?

Hi Anne, Catherine and Gins

Thanks for your help. Yes nancy is another name for Agnes so you are definitely right there.

Again thanks everyone for your invaluable help as I couldn't have gotten further back without you. I shall add your additional information to my family tree.

I think I have been looking Agnes instead of nancy thats why i haven't found anything.

Hi Catherine,
It took me time to work this out too!

Andrew was the son of William McFadyen and Agnes/Nancy McCracAAnneken
His mother Agnes/Nancy must have died between 1854 and 1861
His father William died in1869

It was Andew bc 1845 who married twice
1st marriage ( circa 1866) to Mary Currens was short and as a widower, he and his children with Mary appear on the 1871 return.
By 1881 he has remarried ( circa 1872) to Susan and the additional kids are from this marriage

Anne

You hold off that delete button Catherine ;-)


Have a look at Rootsire, see what you can find....link above

Sorry deleted my posting by mistake:-

I thought Andrew"s mother was Agnes?

Gin's 1851 shows mother as Nancy, so does that mean that William married twice?

Nancy is of course another form of Agnes so you're right, they could very well be the same person.

It could be that he married again but your best bet is to check Scotlands People

Or, it could be that Nancy/Agnes are the same person :-S

Thanks for all your information guys. Sorry I haven't been able to respond so quickly. I will look over it tonight and keep you updated.

Many thanks for your time.

When and where did Andrew marry?

Hi Catherine, I think this is the right family.

Thanks for your help. Can I ask if it states where Andrew was born?

Thanks again

There is a birth matching the criteria for Andrew at the link below but you have to buy credits to view the full details

Denise,
This is the family on the 1861 and 1871 return.
Martha b 1842 and Andrew b 1847 are the ONLY Irish born children in the family.
The next one named Agnes was born in Lanarkshire circa 1851
which means they moved from Ireland to Scotland between 1847 and circa 1851.
I cannot locate an Irish McFadyen/McCracken marriage or the births of their Irish born children

EDIT.
This should mean that Agnes McFadyen ms McCracken died in Lanarkshire sometime after the birth of her youngest child Ann McFadyen b 1854 .
Hopefully she died in 1855, death records from that year hold a wealth of info, including place of birth!

Could this the family be connected?
