Where was he born?
Please can anyone help read this?
https://www.ancestry.com/interactive...71/edit/record It is for John McNally, aged 44 (7th person from the top). 1851, 1861 and 1871 say Scotland. 1891 says Sunderland. This is the 1881. Thanks for looking. |
What awful writing. I can't begin to fit a place-name to it. I wonder if it ends N K (i.e. Not Known). His wife and children are all born in County Durham (inferred from place-names).

Hi UJ.
I thought maybe the bit at the end was NE (for North East?), but it could equally be NK or N/E. It's the first word I thought might give me some clues! |
Looks like "(something) North N.K."

His marriage record (transcript) says his father was Francis.
Name: John Mcnally Gender: Male Marital status: Single Age: 28 Birth Date: 1830 Marriage Date: 6 Jun 1858 Marriage Place: Southwick, Southwick, Durham, England Father: Francis Mcnally Spouse: Isabella Nicholson Not sure that helps! lol I note he's aged a bit. (EDIT - no he hasn't - bad maths!) |
I can only get "In the North NK" but I'm not very sure about the beginning of it.

Thanks everyone.
That's him Merry - Had got to England by 1841 and both his brother, sister and mother all just say "Scotland". |
Did his brother and sister marry? Did they say Francis for their father?
Which 1841 census do you think is the right one? |
A tree on ancestry says this is the 1841 census entry, with all of them (except Francis?) down as born in Scotland:

Sister, Eleanor gives him as her Father when she marries - she married James Veitch who is with them in 1841.
She also registers his death in 1847. I have been unable to trace the brother Peter forwards (although it is only an assumption that he is his brother). |
