Looking for a stray Quigley

Post by Aodh » Sat Jul 27, 2013 2:28 pm

Most of my Quigley family came to Canada and the United States from Larkshire but one of the girls, Elizabeth (Elish) Quigley remained in Britain.

Elizabeth (Elish) Quigley was born to Thomas Quigley and Mary Ralston on Apr 17 1863 at Old Monkland, Lanarkshire Scotland. I believe she married a James Tunery - not exactly confident in the spelling. Unfortunately I know little more about her except that a canadian relative visited her when he was in the service (during the Second World War). He told his sister, she was "a lovely, elderly lady." So she was still alive in 1939 at which time she would be about 76.

I know this is a long shot but perhaps luck is on our side.

Thanks for any and all help,

Eugene

Hello Eugene,
This is a difficult one. Do you have any idea of where she was when the Canadian relative visited her? I'm not seeing any obvious marriage or death records.
All the best,
Sarah

Unfortunately no and the person who visited her is long dead as is his sister who told me about it. I knew it was a long shot but thought I'd try anyways.
