Find Ancestors

I have been asked to see if I can find out about a child they didn’t know existed, his name is Alexander Haddow it is a Scottish family he had siblings Daniel John Frank Catherine Jessie Margaret and Isobel I was told he died aged about 5 years old possibly around 1910? in Fallin Stirlingshire with it being Scottish I don’t know where to start .Any help would be very helpful.

Oh Thankyou very much was his parents called Alexander and Margaret? Does it say any thing else about him have you access to 1901 census please

Oh just seen aged 2 so he woukd not be on there

1911 is ONLY on SP and has to be paid for separately

All BMD’s for Scotland are also on SP. Try looking for info. You can search for FREE

Some idea of when the children were born would be useful…………names alone are not exactly helpful

1901 Scottish census is on FMP

Thankyou

Thankyou

Fallin is a village in the Stirling council area of Scotland. It lies on the A905 road 3 miles east of Stirling on a bend in the River Forth.

St. Ninians is a long-standing settlement which is now a district of the city of Stirling in central Scotland.

Manipulating results shows an Alexander and Margaret Haddow in St Ninians RD with the same reference. John yet to be born?

In 1921 -
Alexander 36, Margaret 34, Daniel 12, John 10 are in St Ninians Ref. 488/1 10/23
Catherine 5, Jessie 3, David 1, Margaret 1 are in St Ninians Ref. 488/1 10/24

Daniel's birth reg - didn't come up using a phonetic search, but by just putting his name and year +/- 1 found him, having seen his age on census

Surname Forename Mothers Maiden Name Gender Year Ref RD Name
HADDOW DANIEL MCHOLLAN M 1909 488 / 1 / 210 ST NINIANS

And Frank would appear to have been named Francis - don't worry about the missing N at the end of McLellan - no room in search results column!

HADDOW FRANCIS MCLELLA M 1922 488 / 1 / 337 ST NINIANS

Margaret -
HADDOW MARGARET MCNELL F 1920 488 / 1 / 223 ST NINIANS

Isobel was Isabella -

HADDOW ISABELLA KIRKWO F 1925 488 / 1 / 250 ST NINIANS NO IMAGE

HADDOW ISABELLA F 1931 488 / 1 / 237 ST NINIANS NO IMAGE

The OP has to get some facts from whoever is asking to be helped.

As I said earlier, a list of names with no accompanying dates is virtually useless

Just as a passing comment, Alexander, from previous census records, worked in coal mines. Polmaise Colliery was in Fallin.
