Well done, patchem!
Another good mis-spelling of Townsend! (Tonnseur)

I wonder what Moepkail really is.

Maybe this ??

Yes, that'll be it - although a few years earlier than suggested by 1911 census.

Just for good measure - though it doesn't help the hunt for Mary:

In 1911, James W Scoular (Mary's future husband - assuming he's the one born in Camlachie 1910)), was living in Camlachie, Glasgow, with John (29), Janet (30), and Edward (19).

I assume Janet and John were his parents and Edward his uncle.

Or maybe Edward was his father, and Janet & John his uncle and aunt.

I haven't used credits to see the image, so can't see the relationships.

Well, even though we can't find what happened to Mary after her marriage to James Scoular, at least you do know that her nephew Ian is on a couple of private trees on Ancestry, Robert.

If you don't have a sub to Ancestry and would like one of us to contact the tree owners on your behalf, please let us know.

Robert -

I understand Patchem has sent you a private message to let you know we've found a lot of info re Mary's family.

It's frustrating that we haven't been able to find out anything about Mary after her marriage.
If Ian is able to tell you anything about her, perhaps you'll come back to this thread and let us know?

ArgyllGran,

I posted this previously, as it looks to be her:

Oh, I didn't notice it.

Well, that's that sorted, then - thank goodness!
Good find, Patchem.

Thank you patchem and Argy/Gran for all the information you have posted. I would be most appreciative if you could contact the tree owner on my behalf as I do not have a subscription to Ancestry.

Robert -
if you'll send me a PM to let me know your email address, I'll send it on to the two tree owners and ask them to contact you.

Robert -

There's some sort of fault with the GR website today - it won't let me open your PM to me.

Nor will it let me send you a PM to tell you about this!

I hope it's just a temporary blip, and not something else stopped working on GR.

I'll let you know if/when I'm able to open your message.

EDIT:

It may be a problem with your message rather than with GR as a whole, as I see I'm able to open PMs from other people.
You haven't cancelled your membership, or deleted the message, have you?

Maybe try sending your message again, in the hope it works on a second attempt.

EDIT again:

Thanks Robert - I'll pass your address on to the tree owners.
There's no guarantee that they'll contact you, of course - good luck!
