Ian,
I am so excited by your work and all the links.As Charlotte Martin was Harriet,s mother there is a grandma connection. Hamilton,grandpa;John Henry,father,Edward Wells,Harriet's father and a family name for the Treffry's and Catherine after John's mother.In the 1851 census from Glasgow[very indistinct]the address 36, Greenhill Street,Baroney:[all born Ireland]Hamilton MacGuinness,City Porter,Catherine his wife,James[21] a dyer,Jane[16]warehouse girl,John[says 13,but I would think he was 14 as he was born in December 1836]he was listed as warehouse boy,and Mary [9] a scholar.
Yes, Harriet died in 1882 but Catherine,widow of Hamilton McInnes died in 1865. As records are not kept as far as Hamilton's death,we have not got an actual date.
Poor relief:2/11/53;Hamilton McInnes[65]wife Catherine[46]both born in Ireland,residing 17 Goosedubb,applied on account of age unable to do his job as city porter for several months.He and family have appearanceof nakedness and starvation. James[24,ill with pains;Jane [19] in ill health;John[17] lying ill on floor and Mary [13] naked nearby[all born Ireland] Various addresses mentioned prior to this.Hamilton McInnes turned out of home and admitted to poorhouse at own request 2/121853.
Catherine's poor relief application of 1856[as a widow] has not survived.
Jane gave birth to Catherine 3 weeks after her mother's death in 1865.Reputed father of child a policeman called John Mc Lean who was dismissed from force andleft Glasgow.
She was born in Camus,Strabane,Co Tyrone,N Ireland.Jane reapplied in 1866 as child dead and coffin supplied.Jane had bronchitis.She reapplied in 1873/74/75 and died in the poorhouse 13th February as Jane McGinnis[single].
Hamilton must have died before January 1855 when records first kept.
Catherine found dead in own house at 70 Bridgegate,Glasgow On October 26th 1865.Informed by Mary Grant her daughter.
