Find Ancestors

Thank you very much, I also have found this, I think the wife's name is Dorothy,as her nickname was Dolly.Also in the marriage records the surname is longer McCough, so I think they have shortened it.
Thank you for taking the time to help me Christina.

Hi Clare
someone who got in touch with me is a relative, and the son called Owen in the family census married their grandmother who is also my great grandmother, he knew that Owen's father was called Owen and was a tailor from Galway Ireland and that he married a girl called Margaret from Galway Ireland, and he gave me the names of Owen's brothers and sisters in Middlesborough.
By the way I managed to look in the 1901 census and Peter is in there as a lodger in his sister's house as he is down as brother-in-law, with His mother Margaret as Mother-in-law, also Margaret junior is there as neice at age 15, so I think you were correct about the two youngest.

The 1901 shows their relationships a little better....

I just had a thought, out of interest, how did you know Peter's father was called Owen? Do you have them all on a census together?

It's a shame there's not an obvious marriage there. Also - there could be a chance Peter was in fact born in Ireland...I don't always trust them when a family's moved. I've spent ages looking in the new places before only to look at the old place just to check...and they were born there.

I will need to look into this, it didn't dawn on me that these might be Peter's children, even though I saw that he was a widower
Margaret

Couldn't see a marriage but I did get this;

Births Jun 1889
Reynolds Nora Middlesbro' 9d 606

Might help you solve the mystery of the age gap :)


And this..

Births Dec 1886
Reynolds Margaret Middlesbro' 9d 566

Birth cert will give father and mother..so you can clear up who their parents are and if they are his, it'll help you find his marriage.

Thank you Clare

To go back to your original question; I think maybe they got married in Ireland? Either that or their married isn't on freebmd yet, as it's not complete.

Also - Peter might have been born in Ireland himself..or you could try that birth record that was posted earlier and get the birth cert and see if it's him.

And, I think maybe the younger children are Peter's..I'm looking for a marriage for him now.

That might be an idea, I will look into this Christina thank you
Margaret

I've just checked the 1891 on Ancestry, it does def say Reynolds on the image (plus he's a way labourer - dock), it must just have been that the person transcribing it couldn't make it out..but it's been corrected on Genes. I think it's the same person.

I think that might be him Clare
Margaret

If you look in the Genes Reunited census for 1891 in the middlesborough district it comes up with Peter Reynolds occupation as way labourer

Could this be him? He's married but no sign of a wife.

Ok..no wonder I couldn't see him. Thanks :)

I was wondering about that age difference!

Posting this for info....as Peter was widowed the younger children may be his. It seems unlikely that Margaret would have children with an age difference of 34 years.

Sorry, I still can't see him. Was there a spelling mistake at all?

It was Peter who is in the 1891 census with the rest of the family under Middlesborough with his date of birth 1855
