Thanks Erika!

Unlikely that Patricia will be expecting a response now.

Hi Patricia
Not sure if you're still looking, but we've just found some old adoption paperwork relating to our mum. Her birth name was Eva Eileen Morag McQuiggan and she was born in Bristol in November 1927. On her adoption certificate, her mother's name is shown as Queenie Rubelar McQuiggan, formerly Dale.

Wow thanks for all your replies. In answer to Rambling Rose, yes I have tried to find Queenie before with no results so far but this was trying to find the Father to see if that would give a lead. Yes I know Queenie married Lawrence McQuiggan, one son also Lawrence (Angus) born in Southport (it is thought he was left with grandparents in Scotland where he grew up), 2nd son Donald born in Scotland, I spoke with him recently (he is 92) said his Mother said very little didn't know why he was born in Scotland only his name was changed to Exon. (His grandchildren have also been searching) Queenies 2nd marriage to Henry Exon (his first wife Andrews died in childbirth) who had 2 children, and yes they lived in Gatton Rd Bristol. They had a further 3 children. In our research we have looked at Angus & Minnie Dale and thought they are a good match also the Rose-Love-Fulton Dale. You have given some more leads-will work on them. Thanks

Thanks Rosie, missed that!

Gins, there is a correction on that message board thread, which suggest Angus' birth was 1880 not 1830 :-)

Do you have her son Donald's birth certificate please? If Queenie returned to Scotland for his birth, the address on the certificate may be the home of a relative.

On Ancestry message board from Patricia

Angus Dale born 1830 Glasgow (I think) daughter Queenie Rubelar Dale born 1900, married 1920 Lawrence McQuiggan 1890-1926. Any info on these families. Regards Patricia

Surely he couldn't have fathered Queenie at the age of 70

For ref previous thread on here ( I've tried searching before so remembered the name)

Posting because it will avoid duplication if helpers know what has already been tried.

The tree on Ancestry has her as Rose Queenie Dale. Scotlandspeople has one birth for a Rose Dale in 1900, in Ayr but that is probably this one:

Marriages Dec 1929

Looks like Henry was her step-son:

Marriages Jun 1914 (>99%)
EXON Henry T Andrews Bristol 6a 48

This looks like the birth reg of the Henry b1920 - MMN given as Andrews!

Whoops - forgot to post the birth record but see Gins has!

Looks like her maiden name is Andrews


Births Sep 1920
Exon Henry T Andrews Bristol 6a 165

A tree on Ancestry has her date of birth as 25 Feb 1900. father Angus born 1860 Mother Minnie born 1865, but no evidence,

Andy

Her year of birth is stated as 1902. The birth date is difficult to read?

Her death reg says 25 Feb 1900 (this tallies with additional info on the 1939 register

On my Mother-in-Laws (died 1969) two marriage wedding cert she names her Father as Angus Dale a merchant seaman. On Mother-in-Laws death cert states (by her 2nd husband) born in Glasgow approx. 1900. First marriage 1920 in Southport second marriage in Bristol abt 1929. Other members of the family & myself have tried to find the daughter (Mother-in-Law) over a number of years including this site but does not seem to exit under the name she gives which is Queenie Rubelar Dale. So thought would try the name she gives as her Father. Nothing ever mentioned about her life to her children. The strange thing is that her second child who grew up in Scotland (we think with Grandparents) on his marriage (1940) and death cert (1946) he states his Mothers maiden name as Queenie Rose!

How did you work back to him please?

As already asked, do you have any idea of the names of his daughters? When or where they were born? Did he marry? Or even a name for the mother of his daughters?

You must have some more information to have worked back to him.
