Looking for deaths of Niven and Jean/Jane. Did they return to Scotland? Can they be found in 1861 or 1871?

Thanks,

Dave

No sign of a death in Scotland for Nevin.

Perhaps they died in Queensland and there is no death reg in the index.

The other puzzle is that the name is PAULIE/PAWLEY yet the marriage seems to be to a Jean POLLOCK.

I wonder if Jean/Jane remarried. Nothing in the index. Just marriage of daughter:

1870/B02919 Mary Campbell Galt - James Anderson

 

[DaveHam9]

Not in the index as GAULT.

It won't let me search g*.


Baptism for brother William but can't find one for Jean/Jane.

Maiden name is PAULUE/PAWLEY not POLLOCK so don't know why that is in marriage and birth record. We can't have 2x Niven.

We can't have 2x Niven.

Thanks Geoff.

So we have 2 but the marriage was 1844.

Could be explained if the 1844 marriage was Jane's second.


There should be a Mary Paulie/Pawley/Pauley in 1851 in Glasgow.

William had died by 1855 so if he died before 1851 then she might be under her maiden name Campbell making it almost impossible to find her.

 

[horse]

It's ok though, he's in Fraserburgh in 1881

 

[DaveHam9]

That does not matter. It would be good to find a second one as long as he married Jane Pollock in 1844.

As long as that marriage can be ruled out. But it seems we can't rule it out.

However the problem is the middle name:

Jean Campbell Galt b. 9 Dec 1845 Low Church, Paisley, Renfrew
Niven Galt & Jean Pollock
Batch: C119624

Jean/Jane Paulie's mother was Mary Campbell.

 

[horse]

I can't see Paulie being a variant of Pollock

Something not adding up

 

[horse]

At the moment the most likely scenario as you say is that it's a 2nd marriage for Jean/Jane..

 

[DaveHam9]

I have a copy of the 1844 marriage and there is no doubt it is Jean Pollock.

29 March by Rev. John McNaughton, Paisley.


I can't find Mary in Lanark in 1851 assuming born Ayr. Over the 1500 limit if I don't choose pob.

Perhaps she was in Renfrew in 1851. No sign.

 

[DaveHam9]

1851 census has Jean born Kilmarnock, Ayrshire so would have expected the marriage to have been in Ayr not Paisley.

So a baptism around 1824.


Lots of baptisms for Galt in Kilmarnock, Ayr, but most with no given name.

I have a few credits in SP if you have any ideas..

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff. I'll think about that.

Stuck with death for Jean/Jane and with the Pollock name and with Mary in 1851.

Actually, don't have any Paulies in any census. Don't have William in 1841.

No sign of any Paulie/Pawlie/Pawley/Pauley in Scotland in 1841 or 1851. Name is common in Cornwall and Devon.
