Hello,

The next of the siblings.

[Mary N Malcolm]
Age: 31 (1830) Wife
Spouse's: James Wylie
Mother: Mary S Malcolm
Born: Largs, Ayrshire
Registration Number: 602
District: Largs
Address: Lade Street, Largs
Occupation: Tinsmiths Wife
ED: 4

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

This time I'm tracing both James and spouse Mary. This one has a clue - Mary's mother. ;)

Dave

Hello Barbara,

Thanks for looking. I have nothing to say they left Scotland. One widow and children ended up in Queensland (my line) and one related MALCOLM couple ended up in NZ. That's all that I know of who emigrated.

Mary's initial N = Newlands. I don't know where that comes from.

name: Mary Newlands Malcolm
gender: Female
baptism/christening date:
baptism/christening place: , LARGS, AYR, SCOTLAND
birth date: 30 Mar 1830
birthplace: , Largs, Ayr, Scotland
death date:
name note:
race:
father's name: James Malcolm
father's birthplace:
father's age:
mother's name: Mary Shearer
mother's birthplace:
mother's age:
indexing project (batch) number: C11602-4
system origin: Scotland-VR
source film number: 1041392
reference number: 2:16G2N88


I don't know what the initial M is for yet for son James. That was easy:

name: James Malcolm Wylie
gender: Male
baptism/christening date:
baptism/christening place:
birth date: 03 Mar 1858
birthplace: LARGS,AYR,SCOTLAND
death date:
name note:
race:
father's name: James Wylie
father's birthplace:
father's age:
mother's name: Mary Newlands Malcolm
mother's birthplace:
mother's age:
indexing project (batch) number: C11602-1
system origin: Scotland-ODM
source film number: 6035516

Regards,

Dave

That's a large young family to suddenly go missing from the census. I have no idea where the Newlands middle name came from. Another mystery for my tree. :) I now wonder if they did emigrate but to where - Canada, NZ or Australia. ???

It's a mystery to others as well. Look HERE.

The information is correct except for the marriage date - actually 31 Dec 1851.

Now that is interesting. I had no date but it has the date of 8 Apr 1815, Largs, Ayr for the marriage of James MALCOLM & Mary SHEARER.

This one is clear:

name: Mary Newlands Malcolm
gender: Female
baptism/christening date:
baptism/christening place: , LARGS, AYR, SCOTLAND
birth date: 30 Mar 1830
birthplace: , Largs, Ayr, Scotland
death date:
name note:
race:
father's name: James Malcolm
father's birthplace:
father's age:
mother's name: Mary Shearer
mother's birthplace:
mother's age:
indexing project (batch) number: C11602-4
system origin: Scotland-VR
source film number: 1041392
reference number: 2:16G2N88


Death 1863 Mary MALCOLM (SHEARER) Largs, Ayr, Scotland Age 69

The tree has no death for James senior. I took it to be 1851 - 1861 but it may have been before 1851 if that Muirs Land one is a different James with a Mary N the same age as mine also born Largs. ??? I can't see a 2nd Mary N with father = James. The Muirs Land James is shown as Married not Widowed. Even age 62 fits for James to be my James:

name: James Malcom
gender: Male
baptism/christening date: 13 Apr 1788
baptism/christening place: , LARGS, AYR, SCOTLAND
birth date:
birthplace:
death date:
name note:
race:
father's name: Robert Malcom
father's birthplace:
father's age:
mother's name: Janet Porterfeel

Did my tree need any more puzzles? :2fun:

This is the only one I can find who fits for age:

Assisted to Queensland

No others listed on that vessel.

A son of James Malcolm WYLIE & Isabella was named Robert John Alexander Lade WYLIE.

I don't mind he has his great grandmother's name LADE there. :2fun:

And, you were right, Barbara. They emigrated. I had no idea. :rolleyes:

Hello!

I am currently researching the Wylie family for my family tree. I was just wondering if you have had any luck finding Isabella Wallace's birth date?
Thank you so much for the existing information you have provided. It has been a great help.

There is this birth/baptism on ScotlandsPeople but it's not Galston and mother's name is not BORLAND.

Isabella WALLACE 19 Dec 1848 Ayr
William & not Borland

Name: Isabella Wallace
Gender: Female
Christening Place: , ARDROSSAN, AYR, SCOTLAND
Birth Date: 19 Dec 1848
Birthplace: , Ardrossan, Ayr, Scotland
Father's Name: William Wallace
Mother's Name: Ann Nicol
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C11576-4


So birth/baptism not registered or record lost and therefore not in index.

If census is correct that all we can say is born abt 1849 Galston, Ayr to parents William WALLACE and Isobel BORLAND.
