The entry very clearly says McQUIRE so it's worth bearing in mind when doing searches.

Woah. Thats them minus my nana who wasn't born then. Thanks so much. Where did you find that?

Thanks for the tip on the surname. I knew to check for other spellings but still couldn't find anything

Giveover. Where did you get the info on the crossing? That is just amazing stuff.

Thanks so much all of you. I am so grateful

Thanks for the info. I am gradually getting a history on this side of the family.

I have a small favour to ask.
I was researching this family and Hugh's father Joseph the other day and wrote down an 1881 census on them. Under the census I wrote " Joseph parents poss Thomas Maguire and Margarite" Now I CAN'T find where I would have seen that.

This is the 1881 census (from FamilySearch)
Blyth Huron

Joseph MaGuire 39
Mary McGuire 32
John 9
Mary J 7
Richard 3
Thomas 1
Mary Felt 18yr

Now I have followed links, searched and searched etc and can not find where I would have seen the parents as "Thomas and Margarite"
Any ideas?
I have even searched my computer history to see if I can find the page. I can't! Its driving me mad.
