I have only recently got back into my tree as most of it was done but since the 1911 and 1921 census have been out, i couldnt find my gran Jean Keating. Born in Glasgow in 1905 to Charles and Mary(Alexander) I have found the rest of them but not her. Her siblings were Louisa(also missing in 1921), Robert, Margaret and Mary also there in 1921 living in what looks like Muse Lane. Is thrre anywhere else that can be searched at all. Thanks in advance

Have you tried the variants of 'Jean'?

Nice one, alviegal.

I've deleted my 'wrong un'

Yes i have that info. Her birth cert, Louisas marriage cert. I just paid for that 'Jane' one. Definately Jane and not Jean. She was known as Jeanie too. It does seem strange that she is missing on 2 census. She did exist as i met her as a kid ??

If you 'HAVE' the info, why did you say Louisa was 'missing' from 1921 census?????

Why didn’t you look for in her married name???????

:-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

She wasn't 'known' as Jeanie - that was her given name when her birth was registered

Could you answer my query about when and where she married..............I presume she did, as you refer to her as your grandmother

This is Jean's marriage ErikaH. He was a sailor and she was a maid.

Marriage

11 Mar 1929 • Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada
Isaac Sylvester O'Donnell

1904–

She emigrated with her sister Margaret in 1928.

Thanks alviegal.......a dead end there then ;-) ;-)

Have you found Mary in 1911?

There are three Mary Keatings in 1911, of the right age +/- 1.

Two of them have middle initials, so I'm discounting them. One in Midlothian, one in Angus.

There's one in Calderhead, Lanarkshire, with no middle initial.
However, she's with children (James 11, Michael 2, Mary 9, Richard 0, John 6) whose mmn is Brannen.

So no sign of the right Mary, unless she's badly mistranscribed.
I searched for age 26-37, and only those three came up.

Hi. Sorry yes she got married in Canada after meeting my dodgy grandad on the ship going there. Dodgy as in a bigamist and who was going to go to jail in Ireland so he fled the country. He was a salesman for Singer Sewing Machine company. Ive had to look through paperwork as i couldnt remember what certs i do and dont have. I cant find her marriage cert now. The mother Mary is missing in 1911 too so maybe they had gone visiting somewhere on census night. I have the passenger list from 1928 although its a bad copy and hardly readable.
I also couldnt find my grandad for years having been told his name was James O'Donnell. Once i found out he was actually Isaac Sylvester and not James it got easier, although he did a disappearing act around 1936 and wasnt seen again!
Thanks for all your help

Yes AG I did the same. Wonder if young Jeanie was with her mother that night but can't find them at all.
