Where are these children??
« on: Monday 24 March 08 05:43 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,
  Iam helping a friend with the family tree but cannot seem to find any of the children of this part of the family. Sorry it is a bit long but it is a complex family

 John Leitch married Mary Brown in Glassary in 1843. They had the follow children from the IGI

 HuhAnne 18/4/1845 Kilmartin
Catherine 22/2/1847 Glassary
Annabella 29/11/1849 Glassary Huh

In the 1851 Census this appears to be the family
John Leitch 29 Glassary
Mary   do    27  Craignish
Nancy   do  6    Kilmartin       ?if this is Anne
Annabella do 1 Glassary

John remarried Elizabeth Wright (nee Foster) in 1856 in Dunbarton but there is no trace of the above children with them in the 1861 census. Eliza had children from her previous marriage.
1861 census Inverkip Renfrew
John Leitch 40 Argyll
Eliza   do     40 Ireland
John   do     5            Lochgilphead, Argyll  son
Archibald do 3                 do                        son
Alexander Wright  9    do                         stepson
John          do         11    Kilmartin                  stepson

Can anyone find Ann/Nancy   Catherine or Annabella Please
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you

Have you tried looking to see if she has returned to stay with her mother( the grand mother of Anne and Annabella)?

Hi there Sherlock,
  Thank you for your suggestion. It showed some results Smiley
The Marriage of John and Mary in 1843 did not have parents but had a look on IGI and found John and Annabella Brown who had a daughter Mary.

Then had a look on the 1851 census and low and behold Catherine Leitch was there as a 4yr old.  Grin
The other children are still missing but that is a start.
Thanks so much for your suggestion
Regards
