McFarlane: 1861 census
« on: Monday 28 April 08 19:59 BST (UK) »

Hi all
Can anyone shed a light on what a "Printfield" worker in Bonhill Dunbartonshire was???
My family are found living in Main St, Gardners Land....I would love to know where in Bonhill that was, most of them where born in an area called "Alenand"...just wondering if thats correct or is it misspelt?

cheers

Hi Lindy-lou

A printfield worker was a mill worker who printed cloth with dyes and inks. See this link for a list of old occupations: www.scotsfamily.com/occupations.htm

Hi MonicaLesl

Thanks for help and the link...going to have a look now...the person I'm looking at seems to have changed occupations quite a bit through the years.

Hi,

I notice you have McFarlane in the Dumbartonshire area. Any chance you link with Robert, born 1829 in Cumbernauld? He was the son of Thomas McFarlane and Christian Grinlay. They married 1825, also in Cumbernauld.

Hi Hume24
I just started looking for McFarlanes last night, I'll let you know if your names appear along the line.
I'm double checking the names, dates etc at the moment and then if correct I'll start the quest for siblings etc.
cheers

We have a lot of McFarlanes in Dunbartonshire who all seemed to be in the textile trades. First I  found a Patrick/Peter McFarlane born in 1770's who married Grizal/Grace Park of Old Kilpatrick. Their sons were John, 1807, b Bonhill, and Peter, 1824, b Glasgow. Peter had 4 more sons, John, Peter, Alexander and James, between 1855 and 1866. Another Park sister, Margaret, married a John McFarlane in 1788. So far I have found sons John b 1788 and Peter b 1807. Also in the picture was a James McFarlane born about 1800 in Dunbartonshire. Two of his sons were Peter and Alexander, born 1825 onward and found in 1861 census. These people lived in Bonhill, Luss, Alexandria, Cardross, Renton and sometimes in Glasgow. They were printfield workers or weavers.  Do you think there is any connection with your McFarlanes?  Is is possible to attach a document showing all the names and dates? I'm not too familiar with how you do that on this site.
