McLellan Family Campbeltown
« on: Friday 21 December 07 16:35 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find some information on John McLellan and Flora Bryson.

Flora died on the 16th May 1917 aged 52, at Burnbank Place Campbeltown.

Her parents are listed as John McLellan Shoemaker and Martha McLellan nee Docherty

However Flora had a son Dugald McLellan born 7th March 1881.

This child was illegitimate.

Martha McLellan registered this birth.

When Dugald McLellan married Margaret Mitchell McPherson on the 11th September 1903, Dugald’s Father is listed as John McLellan Shoemaker Huh

I am trying to find out more information about this, is there a skeleton in my cupboard?

If anyone can help me I would be ever so grateful

Hi Hazel,

Welcome to RootsChat.

I think you have already unearthed the skeleton.

Flora presumably married a Bryson sometime after 1881?

In the 1881 census, Dugald is recorded as son (daur son).  Only one daughter at home, Flora.

It's possible that Dugald put his grandfather's name down as his father simply to avoid letting on to his bride that he did not know his real father's name.  What does his death certificate say about this parents?

I haven't had a chance to get his death certificate. He was killed in WW1 on a mine sweeper that was hit by a mine somewhere in the English channel.  I viewed this on Scotlands People but it only says marine accident.
After Christmas I will send away for it to see what it says
Thank you very much for your time it is greatly appreciated.
Happy Christmas Smiley
