I am seeking Joseph McFadyen my father -in-law it is believed but not confirmd that he was born in Scotland.
According to his marriage and death cert he was born in 1903.His father was named on his marriage cert as James McFadyen occupation joiner.
He married Edith Gertrude Brewer in 1926 in Hull East Yorkshire and this is where he died in 1941, he left a wife and six children with one born 1941 just after he died. Their names are Edward Joseph 1928,Betty 1931, Jean 1933, Ronald 1935,Brian 1936, Ann 1938, Bertha 1941.I have searched with Scotlands People between 1893 -1905 also searched all the census in Scotland and England
Edith remarried when all the children where young and no one remembers anything . Can anyone help .Mrs Dorothy Mcfadyen
PS. According to the England 1939 register Joseph McFadyen was born 6 January 1903 it does not give place of birth. Regards Dorothy McFadyen

Hi Thank you for your interest in Joseph McFadyen I do not have much time at the moment but will check your info, but the names you have given me sound familier I think the families do not have a son called Joseph as i have got the 1911 Scotland census but I will certainly look them up again to make sure and will let you know, bye for now, Dorothy

Hi I have just quickly checked 1911 Scotland census but no Joseph was born to this family

James Macfadyen b 1897
John MacFadyen b.1898
Thomas MacFadyen b.1904
David Campbell MacFadyen b.1907
Lachlan MacFadyen b.1908
Christina MacFadyen b.1909
Parents-- James(House Joiner) and Christina(nee Campbell) MacFadyen now living Bridgetown, Glasgow

Please note different spelling
