Sandie Hayes Posted 20 September , 2012 Share Posted 20 September , 2012 Sandie you gave his brother information , one was born in Fife and the other is born in port Glenone, Co Antrim. Is this right ??? Sorry Ian but I don't know if they were brothers, I don't even know if they were related. It's just that they they both came up together in a search of SDGW for Mawhinnie. The information you have posted is the same that came up in my search. I found a Robert Mawhinnie, born 1879, in the 1901 Scotland census. He was living at 5 Co Operative Buildings, Wemyss, Fife as a lodger. He was a coal hewer born in Ireland. The age is right but the place of birth is different, I wonder if this is your man and he was born in Ireland. The only other Robert Mawhinnie's born in Scotland are much too young to be him.

ander11 Posted 20 September , 2012 Author Share Posted 20 September , 2012 Thanks again Munster & Sandie, I have just looked at SNWM and it has him born in Dysert,Fife thats put a spanner in the works!!! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Hayes Posted 20 September , 2012 Share Posted 20 September , 2012 I can't find a Robert Mawhinnie born in Fife in 1879/80 on Ancestry. Scotland's people may be better as that has the 1911 census for Scotland. Sandie I've just realised that Robert was in the same battalion as your Great Grandfather. Is that why you are researching Robert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theletterwriter Posted 20 September , 2012 Share Posted 20 September , 2012 There was a Robert Mawhinnie who was staying as a boarder at 9 Plantation Row Wemyss, Fife as recorded in the 1911 Census. His age was 31 with his occupation recorded as coal miner drawer and his place of birth was recorded as being Ireland. (Source Scottish Statutory Records via Scotland People).

EDIT: AA routeplanner - Wemyss (coaltown) Kirkaldy, Fife to Dysart, Kirkaldy, Fife = 2.1 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandie Hayes Posted 20 September , 2012 Share Posted 20 September , 2012 Love the smiley! My Dad used to work in Kirkcaldy! He delivered cars by transporter from Liverpool, several times a week for many years. Is there some type of vehicle distribution centre there? I'd have asked him about Wemyss/Dysart but my parents are in Spain at present. Sandie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
