They were called James & Mary Stapleton, now why was this unusual? Well in most typical weddings the people who are getting married usually have their own best man or bridesmaid and you don’t see very often both witnesses that are related to one side of either the bride or groom. The one thing that immediately stood out for me was that both the witnesses were related to your grandmother! Your grandparents were called James Stirling and Mary Annie Stapleton and when they married James was 24 and Rose was 25. So, I started with the information that you had given me, and I got the marriage certificate of your grandparent’s marriage. My father never spoke about his father, I know my grandmother was pregnant with my father and had to get married and she was Catholic and he was protestant, and nobody seems to know much about the marriage only that it was all hush Hush!! The story goes that my grandfather died in cowdenbeath a pauper. “Hi, I’m trying to do my family tree and wondered if you could help? My father was born in Hamilton 1902 and lived in Gateside street, his father left when my father was about 8 he was an only child, he never spoke about his father but I managed to get my grandmother’s marriage certificate her address was Almada street, and my grandfather’s was ‘Greenhome Farm”? Have you any idea where that was,? Googled it says it was a tannery?Īfter my grandparents split, him and my grandmother moved to tollcross, and she got a job as a servant I have written references she got.
She had very little info to go with and could tell me who her grandparent were and Margaret told us: Margaret Barnes contacted the page to ask if I could help her with her family history.
