Wondering if their are still descendants of William Coventry and Maria White, living in the area.
William and Maria were my gt gt gt grandparents.
They married in Glasgow in 1847.
They had around 5 children, including son William, who was my gt gt grandfather.He married Mary Pender, in 1876, at West Marystone, Old Monkland.
Other siblings of William are Ann(Agnes), James, Elizabeth, and Maria.
I have made contact with another relative in South Africa, who is a descendant of Maria!
Would be great to find some more rellies still living locally.
Regards
Gail
PM me if you want more details about the family.

have you tried the phone book?
There are 6 entries that come up if you simply search for Coventry Port Glasgow.
2 in Port Glasgow, 1 Greenock, 1 Gourock, 1 Motherwell and 1 Coatbridge - all fit in with the areas the family have lived in.
If you extend the search and type in say, Lanarkshire, it gives 35 entries in various counties, not just the 6 above.
Afew letters / phone calls might come up trumps.

PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY when it comes. Big 50!
Wish it was me again.

Hello Gail,
Not a descendant - but also trying to raise some interest in the thread...
A search on the IGI - 1840 to 1880- only brings up 4 children to the couple - all 'extracted'. I take it you have the census records or birth entries for your William and Ann/Agnes?
James Coventry b 10 Nov 1856, Calton, Glasgow, Lanark
James Coventry b. 01 Apr 1859, Port Glasgow, Renfrew
Elizabeth b. 11 Feb 1862, Port Glasgow, Renfrew
Maria Coventry b. 25 Mar 1865, Port Glasgow, Renfrew
Regards, Steve :O)

Best of luck Gail, Hope you get a result.
It seems to me to always be a bit harder finding living rellies. Once you find them, how do you make contact? Rhetorical question!
