Re Martha Louisa MacKinnon/ Peter MacKinnon

Sharon Report 20 May 2013 16:21

Hi - I'm trying to trace the family of the above named person, who was my great grandmother. Her details are: born 1878, Hayle in Cornwall; married John Frederick White in Cardiff 1897; lived in Barry, East Glamorgan; died 1939 same place. Children: Lillian May; Lois Emily; John; Alfred and Joseph.

I'm particularly interested in her forebears. Her father was apparently a Peter MacKinnon so presumably he's from Scotland. Any help would be great. Thank You!

Which census info do you already have?

What is the occupation of father Peter on the marriage cert ?

No obvious birth in Cornwall

Do you actually have the marriage cert ?

One in Scotland in 1881 and 1891 but father is Roderick

Hello - I've only just been able to get back to this as work commitments meant that I couldn't spend any more time on it. I'm so grateful to you for looking into this for me but am struggling a bit to follow it - there's such a lot of information.

Interested in the last entry as it gives John McKinnon as a professional mariner as was my own father, who may have been his great grandfather. I'll follow it up! Thank you!
