Thread: John Turnbull Mack

Hi



I'm stuck with trying to find birth details of John Turnbull Mack, he married Mary Elizabeth Trotter

In Sep qrt 1896 at Prestbury St Peter's in Cheshire.



Much appreciated Thanks.

Hi Pauline,



I think I have John and Mary Mack on the 1901 census of Scotland. Unfortunatley, images are not available, but they are living at 6 Lennox Row, Leith North, Leith, Midlothian. According to this, John was born in Berwick, Cockburnspath c. 1852.



Here he is with his family in 1861:



Thomas Mack 51

Eliza Mack 38

Jane Mack 11

John Mack 9

Jessie Mack 8

Eliza Mack 6





Again in 1871:



Thomas Mack 60

Eliza Mack 49

Jane Mack 21

John Mack 19

Jessie Mack 18

Eliza Mack 16

Margaret Mack 9

Josephina Mack 6





In 1881:



Thomas Mack 70

Eliza Mack 58

Jane Mack 5

John Mack 29

Eliza Mack 26

Josephine Mack 16





And 1891:



Eliza Mack 69

John Mack 39

Josephina Mack 26

Jane Mack 41

Eliza Mack 35





I'm not sure if this has been of any help.

Hello Pauline 1



www.Familysearch.org.uk ( search records, select pilot records search)



Marriage was 23/07/1896

I have checked and Mary Elisabeth was b 1866 which makes her 30 on marriage!



Have you thoght of Wills of her siblings, they appear to have £££'s Jane C died 1917 Whitchurch, Hannah Maria died 1938 Shrewsbury

Hi mrsp and elsabels, That's brilliant. Thank you both so much for your help. I have got John's wife's sibblings as one death in Shrewsbury and one in Shropshire from the BMD site. As these two never married I did think that they'd have £££'s

At least now I have John's parents and sibblings to add to the branches

I never thought of checking out Mary's sibblings will's. How would I find this out? Sorry if that's a dumb question to ask.



Regards and thank you once again to you both for your help.

Hi starlight,



Thankyou I found some of John's sibblings births and christenings on the IGI. I did wonder if John's mother's maiden name

was Turnbull, seems like you have confirmed it.

HMSO office is on Bridge Street just below the tax office which is on the rhs Albert Bridge House, it is a newish building, forgotten what name is posted over!

There is PC and record books for searching all you need is to know the name, year of death and approx area they recommend searching a 3 year period...beware the Probate doesn't have to be in the area of the death...you find, you order costs £5 receipt 4/5 days later



There is a reasonable cafe on site.
