Betty,
I forgot to mention in my last message about Gavin's age. He was 46 years old when he died in Paisley in 1867.

Dear Betty,
I have received the death certificate today from Scotland of Gavin Chittick Bolt Maker. It states he was found dead on the 3rd January 1867 in the River Cart at the foot of Court Lane Paisley. His wife was Margaret Gray. His parents Gavin Chittick (it looks like) Meal Miller (dec) and Sarah Chittick M/S also Chittick. Informant C. Chittick son 47 High Street. At the side of the entry it has; See Register of corrected entries Vol.T page 44. 17 January 1867.
I was hoping his wife would be Margaret Graham, but maybe Gray and Graham is the same person. It sounds very similar.
Regards,
Robyn.
Thanks Jenni for all your help. I definately will see what I
can find in Ireland. If you want anything about the Kansas McMulkin family, I will be happy to E-mail it to you if you send me your address. Thanks again
Mcmulkin Chadwick Chittick
Hi Patricia
I have a transcript of the Poor Relief Application that was made by Jean McMulkin Chadwick or Chittock - I had copied everything down just in case it was related to one of mine. I suspect that her husband may have been related to my Crawford Chittick. If you want an actual copy of the original entry you will need to contact the Mitchell Library Archives in Glasgow. I don't have their address but a search on the internet should find it. The reference is D-Hew 10-1-11 p220. Information in brackets is from me.
Jean McMulkin Chadwick or Chittock applied for Poor Relief 1.35pm 25th August 1856. She lived at 94 Back Wynd (Glasgow) front low door.
She was born in Ireland, aged 45, occupation was listed as Washer and her 'condition' was described as deserted. Dependents were listed as:
Elizabeth, aged 8 born Ireland
William aged 4-and-a-half born 94 Back Wynd
John aged 1 born 94 Back Wynd
"Husband William Chadwick or Chittock, 42, labourer, born Ireland, left her 7 weeks ago. She has not seen or heard of him since he left. He earned 2/- (2 shillings) a day when here. She has supported herself and children since he left by selling her bed clothes and an occasional day's washing. She applies for out-door relief (as opposed to going into the Poorhouse) till her husband comes home."
"Her husband applied in October 1851 when he and his wife were sent to the Royal infirmary in fever. His two children Elizabeth and William were put on the roll at 3/- weekly and when the parents came out the ailment was increased to 5/- for 2 weeks and at the expiry of which time they were ordered to the House. He was reported then to be 34 years of age, his wife 38 and child Elizabeth 4 years and William 2 years, stated to be born in Ireland and now said to be born in Glasgow."
Previous application 13611 in Ireland. See District 1 for October 1851 page 261. They have resided since in present house 4 years and 10 months.
Most poor law applications also listed the parents of the applicants but they don't seem to have been listed here or I would have copied them down. However, I can't be sure as this was done in April 1999 - I might not have copied everything as they did not seem to be mine. Having said that though, if I copied the rest, I'm sure I wouldn't have missed out anything else!
Unfortunately I don't have anything else on her - if she seems familiar it might be worth searching ScotsOrigins also on the internet. Unfortunately also, it seems they didn't move into this address until after the 1851 census but it may be worth double-checking.
Good luck with your searches and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
Jenni

I am looking for genealogy links for McMulkin. I see you have Jean McMulkin Chadwick listed in your genalogy page.
Since McMulkin is a rare name I am asking if you have any
history on her. Thank you
I had to smile when I read your reference to Gavin/George Chittick. This is a very popular name in my family. I have a brother, Gavin Chittick born in Saylesville, RI, 11/25/26, currently living in Asheville, NC. I had an uncle, Gavin Chittick born 4/01/1899, in Paisley, Scotland, numerous cousins by the same name and a grandfather, Gavin Chittick born 1866 in Scotland, Paisley or Port Glasgow, and a gggrandfather, Gavin Chittick probably born in the 1820's in either Scotland or Ireland - this is still being searched.
I'm sure there is some long ago relationship. By the way, some of my grandfathers papers are spelled Chittock. Possibly the Gavin Chittick who married Margaret Graham is the connection.
Roy, as soon as I hear from my cousin in Scotland I will let you know. My father was William Turner Orr Chilttick, born 1897, his father was Gavin Chittick, born 1866, his father was Christopher Chittick born 1845, and his father was Gavin Chittick, birth date and location not known. At this point it appears that Gavin Chittick was born in Ireland. All the others were born in Scotland in the Paisley/Port Glasgow area. I have the engraved wedding invitation for my grandparents. The name was spelled Chittock on the invitation. I have a shooting medal from the Argyle Southern Highlanders (also a picture of my grandfather in full dress uniform) and the spelling is Chiltick. So be sure to look up all these different spellings on our unusual name.
