Hi Marg Sarah Harrigan, other surname Carlin, died in Glasgow in 1873, aged '60'. Her statutory death registration may be downloaded at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. Images of the Scottish Catholic Registers are available to view on the same site. St Mungo's registers are included in the Index under 'Glasgow St Mungo's'. Hundreds of thousands of Irish made their way to Glasgow (and to other parts of Scotland) from about the 1840s onwards. (I have read that by 1851 or '61? a quarter of the population of Dundee as shown in the Census, was Irish-born). One pair of my GG Grandparents (both Irish-born) married in St Andrew's RC church (now Cathedral) in Glasgow in 1840, and I was lucky enough to find that the priest who recorded the marriage included the birth places of the bride and groom in the Register. Not all did that. The Irish were much-resented for many decades on the basis that most of them were dirt-poor, they spoke Irish-Gaelic rather than English, they were willing to work for very low wages, and perhaps most of all, most were Roman Catholics. Scotland was a very Protestant country at that time (with pockets of Roman Catholicism in the Highlands and Islands, and amongst some of the Landed Gentry), but the working and middle classes in the Lowlands were mostly Protestant.

Hi all am hoping to find out more about the parents and any siblings of this lady. She was a spinster when she married James Dobbie, (undertaker) had three boys, twins died at birth and one in WW1, no issue. She lived at 196 Stirling Rd, Glasgow when she died. On her death cert, her parents were given as William Carroll or Carlin (labourer dec before `870, and Sarah Harrigan, died after 1870, both of which sound Irish to me. James and Catherine were married at the Mungo Chapel, (hard to read) Roman Catholic. they lived at 97 Castle st Glasgow at that time. I wonder if anyone can tell me a bit about the Irish in that area and where I might look for more info re her parents and possible siblings.. Wondering about RC church records etc. regards Marg OLeary Port Stephens NSW

Thanks heaps Rhoda. The info about the Irish is excellent. I downloaded Sarah's death and it says her parents were William Harrigan and Catherine Heggarty. I noted that Sarah's death said her daughter Ann Williamson notified. So that gives me more searching to do. regards Marg OLeary Port Stephens NSW -----Original Message----- From: Rhoda Overson Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2014 5:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Lanark] Catherine CARROLL 1937-21 Feb 1875 Glasgow.
