Hi all,
I am trying to trace details of the OWENS family who were at 'Pantricknow' in Fossoway and Tullibole at the time of the 1841 census. They seem to have had lots of children, but I can't find any record of them in the OPRs. I think the father John was Irish.
Does this family sound familiar to anyone? Or can anyone suggest what non-'Established Church of Scotland' churches they may have attended - on the offchance that the births were registered there?
The family are
John OWENS
Margaret OWENS (nee DRUMMOND)
and kids:
Edward, Margaret, John, another Margaret (although I think she may actually have been a Mary), Eliza, Helen, Isabella and William.
There was at least another child, Catherine, but I think she was born in Clackmannanshire and that was after the 1841 census.
All help and ideas are gratefully received 
Cheers,
Clare
