Mary Isabella Yuill McCracken
(1863-1927)
Mary Isabella Yuill McCracken was born 08 May 1863 in 45 Eglinton Street, Glasgow, and died 31 January 1927 in 9 Union Street, Stirling.
She married James Buchanan 08 November 1887 in 37 Lynedoch Street, Glasgow, son

February 1896 in 41 Burnside Street, Glasgow.
In 1871 Mary was with her parents at
18 Melville Street, Glasgow. None of the McCracken
family have been found on the UK census in 1881, however, there is a possibility
that Mary was a domestic servant at East Montrose Street, Row, Dumbarton and
worked for a retired clergyman, John Wilson. She worked at Garrockhill Road
Laundry in 1907. This was off North Woodside Road and near where Napiershall pit
had been. In 1887 she lived at 92 Abington Street, Glasgow (Garscube) and on 13
May 1907, 16 Carrickcarden Street c/o Buchanan. Then in 1927, 3 Logie Road,
Causewayhead, Stirling.
Mary had a daughter before her
marriage to James Buchanan. See link left.
James was at 14 Gayfield St, Barony, Lanark, Scotland in 1881. At this time he was married to
Margaret Coventry. He was a Journeyman Cabinet Maker.
