1891 and 1901 Census lookup for SHERIDAN family

[caswellm]

Would like to find in the 1901 census the family of Joseph Sheridan, wife Christina Cathie Sheridan, and children Alexander, Christian, Douglas and Linton. Family was living in Kilmacolm or Greenock townships.

Would like to find in the 1891 census the family of Joseph Sheridan and wife Martha Borthwick Sheridan, with family.  Family was living in Kilmacolm or Greenock townships.

Thank you.

Hi there,

I know this is an old thread but hoping you may still be active on the site,
and wondering if either of you know any more on the Sheridan line, ie parents info and any info on Josephs sister Jane Sherdian ?

Would be grateful for any info you might have on Jane
or Joseph and Janes parents so i can confirm wether this Jane is also an ancestor of mine.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

[BlueGlass]

Hello, I realise this is a date thread however in one link it has solved a family mystery and I may be able to assist.

I believe my paternal grandmother is the Jane (Sheridan Mclellan , as she became known), born Jan 1898 mentioned in this thread. I would be interested in any further details on the Sheridans and Mclellans.

Jean married twice, outliving both husbands, had one son and died at the age of 97.

Thx
