Anne thanks so much for that will take me a while to sort through that info, The marriage was 1930 Dalry and she was not deceased but the father was for both marriages Chisholm & Sailsbury 1930 Chisholm & Clark 1929, thanks :-)

Bethany,
What you may need to do is return to the family on the census returns 1891-1911 and plot the year and places of birth for each child.
From memory, the older ones were born in Kitarlity and the younger ones in Kilmorack.
Then see if you can use the following to work it out.... you have a job on your hands.
To be really certain this really requires a visit to the GRO in Edinburgh/Glasgow or Kilmarnock.
There are sooo many possibilities....
These are ALL the female Chisholm births in Kiltarlity between 1885 and 1906

Notice that there are no children called Grace.
Margaret Chisholm Ms Fraser was born in Glenbucket circa 1864.
As there is no child called Grace on the 1911 census, your info suggests she may have been born after 1911.
The mother would be almost 50yrs old by then?

There is one last thing that you could check....
After a search, I could find only one possible death for the mother, Margaret Chisholm, other name Fraser of the CORRECT age.
This woman died in 1939, death registered in Inverness.
Does this tally? Was this mother deceased on that 1940 marriage in Dalry?

Yea have been able to do that side not to bad Found her husband with his mother again no dad on the 1911 census with brothers and sisters and on his marriage cert had his mother as afterwards married so was able to find that marriage and get the parents for both people and the mother is listed with her grandparents and her kids and further back with her parents so cant do much more on that one his birth cert and that of his siblings just has the mother listed so cant see how will get anywhere with that but i have got a good wee tree going for mine and my husbands side going now thanks again :-)

If she spoke Gaelic, she was most likely from Inverness-shire. Gaelic hasn't been spoken in Galloway (the area that Dalry is in) since about the 1700s. Possibly moved South for work. What was Elizabeth's husband's occupation? Have you traced him back?

Thanks Anne have had lost of wee bits of info an trying to tie them together.
There was mention of 7 sisters for Elisabeth with the names i have had on here and also a (Grace/ Gracie who worked in Dunbar hospital thurso. And a Catherine). Am thinking that these last 2 sister may actually be sisters of Elisabeth and that the other 7 (sisters) are her mothers sisters. Was told some or all of the brothers/uncles emigrated so that would fit. Was told Elisabeth spoke a little Gaelic and her mother was fluent in it, and from Inverness/ Dalry ? so think am hopefully heading in the right direction. :-)

Bethany,

Thanks Anne took a free trial for find my past and looked at loads of census reruns and that family seen like the best match but will keep looking till am certain

Hi Bethany,
Above will be the family of John Chisholm and Margaret Fraser who married in Klitarlity in 1885

I also identified the same family in both 1891 and in 1901 and did wonder if daughter Margaret was Elizabeth's mother

Have you noticed the anomaly in Christina's age? This was also noted on my earlier post.... born circa 1887
If this is the same girl who married Hugh Clark in Dalry 1930, it means she was around 43 yrs old at the time, not 34yrs.
Christina's age is almost 10yrs out and her place of marriage is still about 250miles from her home town in Inverness.
It does look like the correct girl,l but i would still keep an open mind.
Edit:
In addition to the couples named John Chisholm and Margaret Fraser who married in Inverness shire 1883 and 1885, I found this
John Chisholm and Maggie Fraser who married in Galashiels, Selkirk 1891
Also John Chisholm and Marjory Fraser married In Inverness 1905

think have got it now 1911 census
John 52 & Margaret 46 with children
Jessie 1898,Donald 1901,Lizzie 1905,John 1906.

1901
John 43 & Margaret 37 with
William 1885, Jessie 1887, Maggie 1889, Mary 1890, Katie 1893, Annie 1895,
Jessie 1898, Donald 1901,

1891 (Jessie seems to have been original called Christina ?)
John 31 & Margaret 27 with
William 1885, Christina 1887, Maggie 1889, Mary 1890,

Am thinking possibly Maggie would be 18 when my Elisabeth was born so seems more possible that Elisabeths (sisters) are in fact her aunties, thanks for all the help.

:-)

thanks potty will see what can find an get back to you

scotlandspeople has only 2 births for an Elizabeth Chisholm in 1906 and 1907 (Elizabeth's birth years, unless she lied about her age on her marriage) and there are 2 with the same age on the 1911. One of those is living with a Margaret in Inverness-shire. For the cost of a few credits you could look at those and then trace Margaret back.

If you can get that Margaret's YOB and POB from the 1911, those of us with access to other sites could trace her back through the census.

Thanks Andysmum will keep that in mind an re got through the info I have to see what I can turn up

I know it doesn't fit with the Kirkcudbright bit, but I have just found (in my 1868 gazetteer) that there was/is a village called Dalroy, near Nairn. This is much nearer to places like Thurso, Strathpeffer and Caithness.

Thanks Jude for trying think will just need to try an get more info more info before I can narrow things down a bit more :)

there are 60 matches for Christina and 94 matches for Jessie in 1901 and 1911 :-(

Can't narrow down without credits

Jude

I think you need to look for this family on the 1911 census -all three of the girls should be on that census and two of them, Jessie and Christina should be on the 1901 - the 1911 should give their POB which will help to find them on the 1902

yes have view the marriage certs for all thinking it would clarify things but just have more things that dont add up

Have you actually viewed the marriage certs for all of the marriages or are you going on what others have told you?

Sorry thought had put the year for William & Jessie it was 1929 thanks for all the help so far, yes Anne that's the right Elisabeth but would not be appropriated for me to ask about the info for her death cert family tragedy

When did Wiliam and Jessie marry? Would we be able to find them on a census?
