Hi

Just noticed a Shop owner in Merry Street, Motherwell William Russell (Mason)

1865 RUSSELL, WILLIAM (Valuation Rolls VR010700036-/187, LANARK COUNTY) Page 187 of 382
This is the same Street address for the death of Jane Gallagher 1866 Lizzie's mother
could the William Russell have any connection to Gallagher's children?

What details were given for David Allan on the marriage cert?

Is this his death?:

ALLAN
DAVID
45
1891
644/11 146
Hutchesontown

If so, he was born c1846.

The only unmarried David Allan who matches that in the 1881 census in Glasgow area is this one:

David Allan
in the 1881 Scotland Census
Name: David Allan
Age: 35
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1846
Relationship: Lodger
Gender: Male
Where born: Liverpool, Lanarkshire

But that death could be another David Allan, born c1846, who was married to a Sarah, had children, lived in Hutchesontown, and died between 1881 and 1891.

I still think the 1881 census that I posted on page 1 is our Elizabeth. I know the birthplace isn't accurate but that address is Main Strett. When Elizabeth married in 1882 her address was John Street (now called Tullis Street) which is just off Main Street. Let me see if I can find David Allen in 1881.

That Agnes's maiden name was Hall so that doesn't help any.

The 1881 Shettleston one is a possibility AustinQ as it's not too far from Bridgeton where "our" Elizabeth married David Allan in 1882. I think the Mearns one is a bit too far away. Maybe we should follow up that Agnes Russell?

Apologies if already posted, I've been out all day. Perhaps one of these could be our Elizabeth? (not that it helps!):

-----------------------------------

Age out, but only census record I could find (on FMP) that suggested 'adopted daughter' under Russell or Gallagher:

1871 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Mcnicols Land, 41, New Airdrie Road, Shettleston (Barony), Shettleston, Lanarkshire,

Agnes Russell Head Widow Female 60 1811 - Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland
John Hunter Adopted Son Unmarried Male 14 1857 Coal Miner Glasgow, Lanarkshire,
George Hunter Adopted Son - Male 8 1863 Scholar Glasgow, Lanarkshire,
Elizabeth Russel Adopted Daughter - Female 8 1863 Scholar Glasgow, Lanarkshire,

Hmm. It way be that Elizabeth Russell then but bit of a coincidence that she was in Bridgeton and had the same occupation as our Elizabeth.


I wonder if the Poor Relief records for that part of Lanarkshire have survived. I think the Mitchell Library have some and they are indexed. Someone must have taken the children in when they were orphaned in 1866.

You may be right, RG.
I'm a little doubtful about her stated birthplace of New Monkland. It seems too definite a place-name to be an alternative or mistake for Bothwell/Holytown. Of course a later census did say she was born in Shotts, so who knows?!

There was an Elizabeth Russell born in New Monkland in 1860.

Elizabeth Russell
Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950
birth:
8 March 1860
NEW MONKLAND, LANARK, SCOTLAND
father:
Robert Russell
mother:
Janet Norton

She's with her parents and siblings in 1871, but not in 1881.

Not that one ArgyllGran

1871 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription

James Gallagher Head Married Male 38 1833 Cotton Spinner Cambuslang, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Mary Gallagher Wife Married Female 32 1839 - Ireland
Thomas Gallagher Son - Male 7 1864 - Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland
James Gallagher Son - Male 5 1866 - England
Elizabeth Gallagher Daughter - Female 3 1868 - England
Francis Gallagher Son - Male 1 1870 - Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland


I still think that is our Elizabeth Russell / Gallagher on the 1881 census in Bridgeton that I posted earlier. This makes me think that her brothers may be lurking on the census records using the surnames of their "adopted" parents.

Thomas Gallagher born 25/10/1864 Ballies Land, Motherwell James Gallagher & Jane Coil married 1844 Ireland

This census record from FS doesn't seem to be on Ancestry.
Can someone have a look at FMP, and see if this is Lizzie's brother, please?


Thomas Gallagher
Scotland Census, 1871
Name Thomas Gallagher
Event Type Census
Event Date 1871
Gender Male
Age 7
Birthplace Lanarkshire
Registration District Hutchesontown
County Lanarkshire
Birth Year (Estimated) 1864

Yes, I posted Thomas's birth record on page 2 of this thread. (Or it may be his baptism in spite of the transcription saying "birth".)

Hi
Did you notice that James Gallagher and Jane Coil had a son born 25 Oct 1864 Dalziel, Lanark, Scotland

Ian

??? some similarities to Lizzie's family-

Maybe the child Jane could be Jean with Jean Russell in 1871 ???

Probably nothing to do with it, as we don't know of children Patrick and Jean, but here are children of those names boarding with a Jean Russell.
I don't see their births.

Hi
Janes father James coil Labourer is still around I will see if I can find him in a census.

Ian

Hi Sorry yes

Still can't see them in 1871 as Gallagher, or Lizzie as Russell.

Maybe they were taken by Irish relatives.
