From Margot

Hi there Beth & Mark

Many thanks for your emails. I take it the mark@21emerson.net is one in the same as mark.maxwell@caerlaverock.co.uk – could you confirm as if there is a difference, I will resend all the info I have to your mark at emerson.net.

As a snippet, my paternal grandfather, Thomas Nelson, used to work as an accounts clerk for Dixons until he died at the age of 75! and I also remember visiting an elderly great grandmother many times having to walk past the Govan Iron Works as a very small child [i.e. Dixons] before it was demolished to make way for a building project. There is an excellent website that tells you more about Dixons - http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/projects/m74-completion/m74-dig/govan-iron-works

With regards your family burials, it is more likely that there were buried in the Southern Necropolis in the Gorbals area of Glasgow – ref http://www.southernnecropolis.com/. I do know that some of the Maxwell family were buried in Rutherglen Cemetery [mine included but who were related to my Delaney side of the family and the Australian side of the family]. Another possibility is the Glasgow Necropolis but this is located over the Clyde to the North side of Glasgow near the Cathedral and I doubt if the Maxwells would have been interned there.

I will also take a look at Mary Lou C. Mariner, Frederick, MD’s web pages and see what info this has. Thank you too Mark for the report update – I will add to my records and as soon as time permits will update my website but have much to do regarding this with other family names so please forgive me if this wont be for some time.

Very many thanks indeed Mark for the images which will enhance my research.

Yours aye

Margot

Msftedit 5.41.21.2507;Archibald Maxwell

Archibald Maxwell was born about 1833, the son of Archibald and Christina [Liddle} Rae Maxwell.

In 1841 he lived with his parents, in a section called Fireworks, Corner of Malta St, #68 West Side of Main St., in Govan, Gorbals Parish, Lanark County, Scotland. E.D. 6, Lower Ward, page 6

He had three sisters, and three brothers.

Agnes Liddle Cotton Power

Loom Weaver dau 18 born in county

James coalminer son 16 born in county

Cornelius coalminer son 13 born in county

Archibald at home son 8 born in county

Margaret at home dai 5 born in county

William at home son 2 born in county

Also enumerated with the family were:

David Dick coal miner n/r 20 no

Agnes n/r 16 no

Jean 3/mos born in county

Another sister, Anne, had married a man with the last name of Jack and lived elsewhere. I have not found out his given name yet.

In the 1851 Govan Gorbals Parish census, Archibald was living with his mother, sister Margaret, and brother, William. They were now on Carter Row, Fireworks. His father had died between 1841 and 1851. Archibald was 18 and working as a coalminer, supporting the family along with William, age 12, who worked as a Drawer in a coalmine and Margaret, age 15, a steam loom weaver. The mother did not work.

Archibald was married 29 December 1854 at Gorbals, Lanark Co. by Rev. Alex McLeon to Margaret Rae, the daughter of Peter and Helen [Jack] Ray. The bans were published December 10, 1854. They were members of the Church of Scotland and lived in Hutchesonstown.

Archie and Margaret had a daughter named Helen, born 22 September 1859 in Hutchesontown, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland. This child, age 3, is listed with her grandparents, Peter and Helen Rae, in the 1861 census for Cambusnethan, Lanark, Scotland at Stonecraig Row.

LDS Film Number 103864, pg. 8.Archie and Margaret are listed in the 1861 City of Glasgow, Hutchensonton, Govan Parish, District 9, census living at 166 Uries Row:

Archibald Maxwell, head, married, 28, coal miner born Govan, GlasgowMargaret Maxwell, wife, married, 24, Power Loom Weaver, born Govan, GlasgowCatherine Rae, lodger, unmarried, 14, Cotton Weaver, born Govan, Glasgow.

This Catherine Rae is Margaret's sister. I wonder why Archie and Margaret's child, Helen, is enumerated with Peter Rae in this census. Since both of them were working could they have been trying to save money to come to the U.S.? Margaret is never listed as working once she came to the U.S.

Archie and Margaret are listed in the PA 1870 census in Lafayette Twp., McKean Co., PA with a 3 year old daughter, named Christina, was born 4 Sept. 1867 in Cambusnethan, Lanark, Scotland., and a daughter, Janet, born in McKean Co., Pennsylvania, 10 March 1870. Another daughter, Sarah, was born 5 February 1876 in Gary, Indiana. [Possibly not, in Margaret's obit it says after a short time in PA she moved to Hubbard and lived there for 30 years. The info on Sarah's death certificate was supplied by her second husband but info in the 1880 census, supplied by her mother says she was born in Indiana.]

Archy's brother, William and his wife, seem to have emigrated at the same time and they are in the 1870 census, Hickory Twp., Mercer Co., PA. In the 1861 census they lived right down the street from Archie and his family.

The 1872 Youngstown, OH city directory lists an A. Maxwell, a laborer, on Mahoning Avenue. {I have no idea who this man is.] In 1874, in the Warren, Trumbull Co., OH, Recorder's Office, [Bk 115:389, dated 26 Feb. 1874] there is a recorded deed to an Archie Maxwell but I have since proved this was another A. Maxwell from PA.

Sometime between 1875 and 1877 Archibald died. [Keep in mind the July 1, 1877 Brookfield OH mine disaster]. Margaret married William Davidson, a miner, on 24 Sept. 1877 and lived in Hubbard with her children, and his mother. William died in 1891.

I found a child named Christina Maxwell, age 11, in the 1880 Mahoning Co. OH census listed with William Raynor, and his sister, Sarah, a dressmaker, as a servant. Since William had not worked for 7 months, I believe that Christina was learning the trade of dressmaker. Why would her mother send a child out to be a servant at age 11 when all the rest of the children, even the husband's older boys, were at home? While Archie's Christina would have been 13 years old, probably the Raynor sister gave the information and didn't know the correct age.

In 1888-92 Margaret and her two daughters were living in Youngstown at 635 Erie St. with John Swartzsweller, who was married to her daughter, Christina. Christina had a tumor and died in 1890. She was buried 2 Nov. 1890 in Oak Hill Cemetery.

14 March 1895 Margaret married for the third time, William D. Black, an engineer with the Youngstown Stamping Co., by Rev. Geo. J. Williams. She was a member of the Methodist Protestant Church in Hubbard.

In the 1900 census, Margaret states that she has had 5 children, but the "how many living" column is left blank.

Margaret died 26 June 1909 of stomach cancer while living at 122 E. Front St., a boarding house but in the paper referred to as the family residence. Her husband lived elsewhere but Sarah, who was divorced, lived with her. I could not find a divorce for Margaret. In 1908 Margaret lived with her husband, Wm. Black, at 101 Pike St. - a house her husband owned.

She was also buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, from home, on 29 June 1909, Row 26, Space 54, a single lot with no marker. [This grave was not near Christina's. Christina's is a single grave with a very nice marker. Margaret's has no marker at all.] King Funeral Home told me that her funeral cost about $45. and her daughter, Sarah, paid for it $1.00 at a time but there was still $15.00 owed. I didn't pay it!]

In Margaret's obituary she is said to have had five grandchildren. Christina and John Swartzswelter had two, Sarah, who married Harry O. Palmer, had two boys, and Janet, my grandmother, married to Hugh McFee, had one child living.

THE HAND WEAVER AND THE FACTORY MAID

I am a hand weaver tae my trade.

Long time I courted a factory maid,

And if I could her kind favor win,

I'd stand beside her and I'd weave by steam.

It's manys the year now I've plyed my skill

By my ain fireside lang before the mill

I wove fine linen and silk so fair

While the poor jenny shuttle

sings my lassie's name

My fathers often unto me said

How could you fancy a factory maid?

When you could have women of grace and style

Oh it might tae win the master weaver's smile

But the weaver's fortune of my Father's age

Has faded now tae a meager wage

And the dark and

Have brought the prices and the weavers down.

Where are the lassies now, I'll tell you plain:

The girls have all gone to weave by steam,

And if you would find them you must rise at dawn

And trudge to the mill in the early morn.

Long time I courted a factory maid, And if I could her kind favor win, I'd stand beside her and I'd weave by steam. It's manys the year now I've plyed my skill By my ain fireside lang before the mill I wove fine linen and silk so fair While the poor jenny shuttle sings my lassie's name My fathers often unto me said How could you fancy a factory maid? When you could have women of grace and style Oh it might tae win the master weaver's smile But the weaver's fortune of my Father's age Has faded now tae a meager wage And the dark and Have brought the prices and the weavers down. Where are the lassies now, I'll tell you plain: The girls have all gone to weave by steam, And if you would find them you must rise at dawn And trudge to the mill in the early morn. -
