WYLIE family of Glasgow

[James18]

re SP, I used my final credit to check who it was:

1	1889	MCSEVENY	SARAH MOODIE	F	LINLITHGOW	/WEST LOTHIAN	668/00 0123

The date is certainly off, as if born 1889 she'd only be a year younger than John. Also, her marriage certificate does list her as 'Sara D McSeveney' so if she has a middle name, it'll be something beginning with D.

Using the free search on GRONI, John Wylie death 1963-1964 1 match, 1963-1965 1 match, 1964-1965 0 matches, so that must mean one John Wylie death in 1963. Have you ruled that one out?

That's not the one I found - mine was county = Lanark, year of birth 1895.

John Wylie was born 03/03/1888.

The results on GRONI are:

- 12/06/1962, Ballymoney, age 0
- 04/08/1962, Belfast, age 76
- 18/04/1963, Antrim, age 81

The will on PRONI is for a man who died 26/07/1963. No age is given, but it does say he is a retired rate collector.

My search criteria were:

You searched for: Surname: "McSev"; Surname Option: Prefix; Forename: "Sara"; Forename Option: Prefix; Sex: "Female"; Year From: 1885; Year To: 1900;

So any variant of McSeveney or Sara/Sarah should be covered.

[kiterunner]

I didn't specify sex on my search and I put surname McSeveney including surname variants. Surnames beginning with McSev wouldn't include any Mac... surnames, would they?

Anyway, messing about with the "surnames that begin with", I've managed to figure out it is McSaveny. (For the 1895 Lanark birth)

(Edit - it does match if I add in sex = female too; I just wouldn't normally bother when it is a name such as Sarah.)

[James18]

Incidentally, if you search deaths for:

Wylie (surnames beginning with)
Sara (forenames beginning with)
McSeveney (other surnames)

...you get one result, but I can't view it atm.

[James18]

Right, got some credits.

It's Sarah Dawson McSeveney. She died 03/09/1934 in Springburn, Glasgow. Age 39.

Parents are William McSeveney and Jane Dawson, so it must be the:

'10/07/1894 in Ballymena, to a woman with the surname Dawson.'

...wedding. Born in Scotland, then?

EDIT: Yes, you were right, Kate:

1	1895	MCSAVENY	SARAH DAWSON	F	CALDERHEAD	/LANARK	626/0B 0130

[James18]

And here's the second marriage, which fits the notes I have:

1	1942	WYLIE	JOHN	GUY	ELLEN ATKINSON	PROVAN	GLASGOW CITY/LANARK	644/04 0251

I'll see if I can find what happened to her and John.

EDIT: Well, there's a record of an Ellen Atkinson Wylie going to New York. It's on the 1820 - 1957 New York Passenger Lists on Ancestry, but I don't have a Worldwide sub so I can't view it.

There's also a death index for an Ellen A Wylie in Sacramento, 1970. Could be anyone, though.

I've found one of John and Sarah's children:

Ruby McSeveney Wylie b. 1929 Glasgow d. 2007 Glasgow
