I am trying to find ancestors of Mary McNaughton Cassidy b 29.7.1908 in the district of Plantation in the county of Lanark. Statutory Births 646/01 0568.
Parents are William John Cassidy (Clyde Trust Labourer) and Elizabeth Stuart Cassidy ms. Short who married 23.8.1907 in Govan.
On the marriage cert 646/02 0349 William aged 21, his parents are William John Cassidy (also a Clyde Trust Labourer) and Mary Cassidy ms. McNaughton.
Elizabeth Stuart Short (Domestic Servant) aged 18, her parents are John Short (Cooper) and Johanna Maria Short ms. Pozzi now deceased.
Marriage cert 644/13 00/4j John Short aged 25, usual residence 5 Kearney Buildings, Belfast. His parents are Andrew Short (also a Cooper journeyman) and Mary Short ms McKechnie. Joanna Maria Pozzi aged 22, usual residence 178 Eglington St, Glasgow., Her parents are William Pozzi (Tailor master) and Elizabeth Pozzi ms Stewart.
I am stuck on the Cassidy side....possibly because of the Irish connection. I have no details of any Cassidy siblings, and no further info on Mary McNaughton.
Can anyone shed any more light in my direction. Your help as always is very much appreciated.
Regards
Charlotte

Have you found any of them on the 1911 census to check their birthplaces please?

Charlotte, there is only one William John Cassidy with an Elizabeth (or a Mary) in the same household coming up on scotlandspeople. Have you look at that one to eliminate it?

Hi Potty,
Which area of Glasgow is showing? Is it 1911 or 1901?
Cheers

Sorry, Charlotte, should have said; it is the 1911. Don't know the area but it is the only one if searching all of Scotland.

On the 1911 Census it states that Wiliam and Elizabeth had 2 children but only one living child, and they had been married for 3 years at this time and they married on 23.8.1907 so this would make it correct family.

The info you have on Joanna Pozzi is correct, as the Pozzi`s originated from Italy and were a family of Jewellers. The family did move and for a time were the Keepers at Elgin Castle.

Did the 1908 marriage take place in church? If so, what religion?
