Person: Thomas Smith: General Labourer. Widower of Jane Gordon
Father: William Smith, Farmer (deceased)
Mother: Jenny Smith ne McCrate (deceased) - possibly McCreight.

My cousin obtained this infomation whilst he was recently in Scotland.

Robert's wife was Jane Dickie also born in Ireland (father Joseph Dickie mother Jane Longmore - Jane's death certificate) . David and Thomas were both born in Glasgow. Thomas was born 1879 and David abt 1888 (Parish: Glasgow Townhead; ED: 54; Page: 21; Line: 1; Roll: CSSCT1891_250 )
I havent been able to find their deaths on Scotland's people.

Roberts sons David and William, when and where were they born and what was their mothers full maiden name? Again you maybe able to find their deaths on Scotlandspeople?

Hi Leonie,

The marriage is available on Scotlandspeople. I'm not 100% sure what it would tell you, if anything like an English marriage cert it would tell you their fathers names ( if known) and their fathers occupations. Often witnesses were family members too.

This would definitely be need for them to trace their parents.....just hope that Thomas,s father has an unusual name.

Thank you everyone. This will give me some new avenues to explore

Hi
I am trying to find out information about Thomas Smith born Ireland abt 1822, who lived in Glasgow. Thomas married Jane Gordon and worked at the St Rollox Chemical Factory as a Chemists Labourer. I don't know when or where they married.
In the 1841 Scottish Census there is a Thomas Smith (2nd) who isa private in 17th Lancers who is a possibility (Parish Govan ED Glasgow Cavalry Barracks Pg 11ine 970).
Thomas had at least 7 children - Margaret born abt 1848, David born abt 1850, William abt 1852, Robert 1855, Frances 1857, Agnes 1859 and Sarah 1865. My grandmother was Robert's granddaughter Rachel.
I have found Thomas in 1861, 1871 and 1891 Censuses. He died in Glasgow in 1895 District Dennistoun Pg 531 Record 1593
I would be very grateful for any additional information especially the fate of Roberts sons David or Thomas and for details of Thomas birth in Ireland.
Thanks
