Can't see any sign of the family on censuses after the marriage, which is odd, as they were having children in Lanarkshire after 1861

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 20 Feb 2018 16:13

The marriage pre-dates civil registration in Scotland, which means there is no information on the record about ages or fathers.

You need to find them after 1852 to find out when they were born

ArgyllGran Report 20 Feb 2018 16:39

A tree on Ancestry says May's parents were Charles Gillespie and Elizabeth McGowan.
So this is probably her family in 1841:


Mary Gillespie
in the 1841 Scotland Census
Name: Mary Gillespie
Age: 5
Estimated birth year: abt 1836
Gender: Female
Where born: Lanarkshire, Scotland
Civil Parish: Cambuslang
County: Lanarkshire
Address: Bushy Hill
Parish Number: 627
Household Members:
Name Age
Charles Gillespie 30 - Ireland
Elizabeth Gillespie 25 - Ireland
Margaret Gillespie 9 - Lanarkshire
Mary Gillespie 5 - Lanarkshire
Cathrine Gillespie 2 - Lanarkshire
Elizabeth Abuickle 25
Margrit Abuickle 25
Thomas Steven 1


(I suspect the Arbuckles and Thomas Steven are a different household.)

Wow thank you! so much information

That 1860 death was for the SON of James Baird, Ironstone Miner and Mary, nee Gillespie.
Age 1 yr 8 months

Date September 23rd - father present

So, no further forward with James's birth year or parents

Can't think why I suggested it might be James snr...................simply not possible, unless Mary was having children with someone else!
