Hi Jean
i am trying to find the correct parents of Hugh Gaffney
Rose and Hugh married 1872 in Bridgeton
if you downloaded the marriage entry from Scotland People, www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk that should give both sets of parents, Do you already have this? You seem to have an idea of the parents' names.
I was trying to locate the death of Henry and Rose
Henry, who should be mentioned on the marriage of Hugh and Rose will either be just named, or names and stated as deceased. This may give you a clue when to start looking. However, with the surnames you have there, it may be the case that the parents are in Ireland, not Scotland...

With Rose, have you tried a search for her death on Scotland People? Remember you can search on two surnames for women who were married.

Best wishes
Lesley

If I have the correct family in 1861 then it looks like Henry died in 1873 at Lanark.

Hugh Gaffney
Age: 21
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1840
Relationship: Son
Father's Name: Henry
Mother's Name: Mary
Gender: Male
Where born: Ireland
Registration Number: 648
Registration district: Lanark
Civil Parish: Lanark
Town: Lanark
County: Lanarkshire
Address: Close Off High Str
Occupation: Labourer
ED: 5
Household schedule number: 72
Line: 20
Roll: CSSCT1861_116
Household Members: Name Age
Catherine Gaffney 23
Henry Gaffney 60
Hugh Gaffney 21
Mary Gaffney 56
Mary Gaffney 25

Rose is proving to be a bit more difficult. There is 1 Rose Gaffney death in 1884 at Lanarkshire of about the right age but a cross check with Murray doesn't match. It might be worth a check though.

I found Hugh and Ros(a) in 1881 but Hugh is on his own with his children Edward and Agnes in 1891.

Regards,
Annette
