The census return is signed with the mark of Charles- but as he couldn't read I'm not sure how he could tell it was correct!

Thanks Austin, that does look like them, great work. So glad everything is typed out these days in years to come when people do the research it will be easier to read and hopefully not as many mistakes :-)

I bet Jane is the Jeanie i was looking for

Just looked back Jane is Sarah Jane, thought that was another one but must be still Jeanie. All the ages match as well and like you said on the other one about Sarah Jane and Charles there ages do seem to be the wrong way round

This is all great, this was my brick wall for years until i ordered Marthas death cert and found the surname McGeehan as her mothers maiden name. For some reason in 1930 in Scotland Martha gave up her 1st baby for foster care and she was named as Martha Cunningham and her Mother Margaret Cunningham. Her son was Arthur Cunningham and in his 20s he found his mum and fitted straight back into the family. 1932 she had another child but was under the name McDermid which is meant to be her fathers name even though he was not on her birth cert and she carried on with that name until she got married. On her marriage cert it had her mum down as Margaret McDermid nee Cunningham. No marriages at all for these name changes i just think lies lies and more lies for some reason. I can understand if Martha had the name McDermid if that was her fathers name but why Cunningham, that is the mystery. I Guess unless i can get in contact with one of Margaret's siblings children then i might never know :-S

Well found AustinQ! :-) :-) :-)
