Oh good gowed!!!!!!


I'm gripping ;-)

i dont know . we did not know that the maxwell come from ireland till my
wife started the family tree yours colin

there no way of finding out thanks for your help colin

Colin, may I suggest that you go back to the Poor Relief records and look at any for Maxwell born in Ireland? The records as you know are indexed and are free so all it costs is your time. You may be lucky and find that some of his siblings also claimed poor relief and gave more details of the area in Ireland that the family came from originally. There is too a possiblitity that his wife or children may also have at sometime claimed poor relief and stated where in Ireland William came from.

Good Luck.

Might be worth trying to follow these Maxwells forward?

Morning rootgatherer...Those could possibly be the ones I mentioned to Colin....(page 1)..I would be trying to follow them through also....especially Francis who was of the same employment as William... How many Trunk Makers could there be in Glasgow at that time..?

Yes, I agree Eringobragh - there aren't many trunk makers showing on the census.

Doing a search for Maxwell, born Irenad, living Glasgow and Trunk maker also bring up this fellow.

A birth certificate for one of the three youngest children should give the date and place of the parents marriage which looks to have taken place in Ireland.


Spent a couple of credits on SP.

Eliza Jane Maxwell born at the same address as she was living above. Parents Joseph and Annjane maiden surname Stitt were married April 1853 Belfast.

Sorry should have said that on the birth registration Joseph's occupation is TRUNK MAKER.

The "Belfast" connection may well link with what Maura found for Wms Baptism.

Dont you just love spending your Credits...!!
I went through mine at a rate of knots yesterday searching for someone on another thread ...

Looking Possible...!!

There a baptism for a Joseph Maxwell 1830 fatther Francis, mother Mary in St Anne's C.O.I. Belfast

There no other baptism coming up with parents Francis & Martha

Wonder if "Martha" is Mary...
I cannot locate any Maxwell children with the Christian name Martha (Scotland)....or a Francis and Martha....other than what you have found.

Had a look a Joseph baptism 12/03/1830, mother Mary Collins

Other children for Francis Maxwell & Mary Collins

Henry John 1828
