Edna

Nicola last posted on here in 2013 and didn't acknowledge your message four years ago, so is hardly likely to do so now.

Adding to such old threads is hardly ever worthwhile.

Edna -

did you follow the advice given to you by DetEcTive on 28 Aug. 2016, about contacting "Unknown"?

She isn't likely to see your posts here, as she won't be expecting any replies after such a long time.

You can try to contact her as DetEcTive advised. If she still has the same email address, GR will contact her, and she then may (or may not) be able to read and reply to your message.


If you've already tried that, but received no reply, there could be many possible reasons. Change of email address; illness or death; loss of interest in family tree research - to name but a few.
You could try again, but don't get your hopes up.

If you look in your "inbox" I have tried to send you the Scotlandspeople images. I hope they open for you.

I found the above on the Scotlandspeople website. That's the best place to find twentieth century Scottish records. It is a pay to view site.

If you still stay in the Clydebank area, your best (and cheapest) way to research your family is to use either the Scotlandspeople Centre in Edinburgh (£15 to research for 1 day) or the family history section in The Mitchell Library in Glasgow. Not sure how much the Mitchell charge for a day. You can view more recent records in person at either of these places and make notes from the original entries. The Mitchell also holds cemetery records for most Glasgow cemeteries which are searchable if you have death dates. Off hand I can't remember the most recent date for Craigton Cemetery but they do have records for it. The Mitchell have the Glasgow Poor Relief records (indexed) and these can be very helpful for Irish ancestry as they often give details of where in Ireland our ancestors came from.



I think this might be the birth registration of Patrick born in Donegal

Name: Patrick Deery
Event Type: Birth
Event Date: Apr - Jun 1907
Event Place: Inishowen, Ireland
Registration Quarter and Year: Apr - Jun 1907
Registration District: Inishowen
Age:
Birth Year (Estimated):
Mother's Maiden Name:
Volume Number: 2
Page Number: 125
GS Film number: 101071
Digital Folder Number: 004194690
Image Number: 00418

That certificate may give you an address which you can look up on the 1911 Irish census which is available free here

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/


And maybe James's birth?

Name: James Henry Deery
Event Type: Birth
Event Date: Apr - Jun 1908
Event Place: Strabane, Ireland
Registration Quarter and Year: Apr - Jun 1908
Registration District: Strabane
Age:
Birth Year (Estimated):
Mother's Maiden Name:
Volume Number: 2
Page Number: 313
GS Film number: 101072
Digital Folder Number: 004194691
Image Number: 00100



(From Ancestry but also available on the free to use Familysearch.org)

Name: Catherine Mulholland
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1893
Registration District: Letterkenny
Volume: 2
Page Number: 110
FHL Film Number: 101257

Records on Page:
Name
Peter Devine
Catherine Mulholland <<<<<
Sarah Collins
John Deerey <<<<<<


That marriage certificate will give you the names of the father's of the bride and groom.

If you look on Scotlandspeople for the death registrations for John and Catherine it will give you the names of their fathers and mothers with the mothers maiden surnames if the informant knew the details.

Just to get you started.

1911 Census for George Street Partick (From Scotlandspeople website)


Eliza Bisley, wife, aged 30 years. Married 6 years, 5 children born, 3 living 2 had died.

Mary Bisley, Daughter aged 6 born Glasgow

Sarah Bilsey, daughter, aged 4 born Glasgow

Thomas Bilsey, Son, Aged 3 born Glasgow

There is also a Boarder named John but I can't make out his surname. He was a Shop's Carpenter Apprentice aged 18 years + born Glasgow.


Unluckily father Thomas os on the previous page so I can't see him without using another 5 credits.


One of the children who died before 1911?
