Follow-up to this request.
Thomas McCUE (also seen as McHUGH) and Elizabeth (Lizzie FERRIS) married 13 May 1887 at Calton, Glasgow.
Thomas was recorded as age 28 (b. circa 1859) and Elizabeth (Lizzie”) Ferris as age 20 (b. circa 1867).
1911 Census:
Thomas (52)
Lizzie (42), married 24 years [prob incorrect as she would have been 18 years at marriage - known to be 20 years] 10 children, 7 living)
Maggie (18)
Josephine (16)
Isabella (14)
Thomas (12)
Constantine (10)
Mary (8)
Norah (2)
All born Lanark.
I now aim to locate the 3 deceased children. I have searched Scotland’s People using as many variations and wildcards as I can think of. I have searched for the deceased children with same names as those living; eg. located a Constantine McCUE (wrong parents) born in Calton, thinking he was named for Thomas’ father or deceased child. I also searched the timeline from marriage in 1887 to Maggie’s birth (8th March 1893) AND from Mary’s birth circa 1903 to 1911.
I would be grateful if a subscriber were able to check the 1901 and 1891 Censuses to locate the missing children.
Calton would appear to be the centre of my extended maternal family as my mother was also born there.
