GILCHRIST family in Paisley

[DaveHam9]

Hello,

1861
Civil Parish: Paisley High Church
County: Renfrewshire
Address: 80 Canal St
William GILCHRIST head b. abt 1826 age 35 Carder Paisley, Renfrewshire
Agnes GILCHRIST wife b. 1832 age 29 Paisley, Renfrewshire
Mary GILCHRIST b. abt 1851 age 10 Andrie, Lanarkshire
Elizabeth GILCHRIST b. 1853 age 8 Paisley, Renfrewshire

I think it more likely William was a labourer / carter and not carder (woollen).

I think Mary was probably born in New Monkland, Lanark.

2 more children:

Janet b. abt 1865 Paisley
Jane b. abt 1867 Paisley

William & Agnes (nee GARDINER / GARDNER) both died after 1891.

Variations include GILCHRIEST.

I'd like a look up for the family in 1871 please.

Regards,

Dave

Hello cp,

I'm not sure if she married or died by 1871. One possibility to look at:

Spouse: THOMSON STEWART

Marriage: 8 NOV 1867 High Church, Paisley, Renfrew

Regards,

Dave

Hi Dave

No luck in 1871 for a Ann THOMSON b. abt 1849 New Monkland.

cheers

Hello cp,

Oh. Sorry about that. Cut and paste and I didn't change the given name:

Spouse: Thomson STEWART

Regards,

Dave

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello cp,

Could you please look with the reverse of the name.

STEWART is the family name.

Thanks.

Regards,

Dave

Hi Dave

Sorry forgot to post it. Doesn't help you Thomson is married to a Agnes.

Thomson Stewart abt 1843 Paisley, Renfrewshire Head Paisley Low Church Renfrewshire
Agnes Stewart abt 1849 Ardice, Lanarkshire Wife Paisley Low Church Renfrewshire

Hello cp,

Thanks. Curious.

The extracted record has spouse as:

Ann GILCHRIST

Marriage: 8 Nov 1867 High Church, Paisley, Renfrew

So a second marriage to an Agnes (can't find) or two Thomsons or Ann is Agnes. ???

I'd say Ardice is supposed to be Airdrie which is not far from Old / New Monkland.

Please try for Ann / Agnes for 1881. Thanks

Regards,

Dave

Hello cp,

Thanks. It might yet help. Her age certainly fits.

I can't see an alternative at the moment except that Ann is down as Agnes but I might be proved wrong.

Dave
