Hi Jen,

Good you have the original 1851 as SP & Anc. had 2 different names i.e. Hellen/Dullen.
This in itself is always a problem!

So, the question still remains do you think this is supposed to be Duncan as you haven't said?

Is it possible to post a snip to see if anyone can read it please?

Annie

Hi Gillian, Jen

I think you are right - definitely not the same couple - I had a chat with my Aunt - (on my mum's side) who has a better memory for this than I have.

John Reid Neilson (my grandfather) was born in Renfrew 1901 and married Margaret MacPherson some time between the wars. My dad (another John Reid Neilson) was born just before the second world war. Grandfather was one of three Robert, Jean and John - I don't know their parents names unfortunately and Grandmother was from Irish stock.

so I was definitely barking up the wrong tree - but just how many Johns and Margarets could be couples?

thanks to both of you

Hi John,

thanks for that info!  Both Gill and I are researching the extended family tree of the Neilson family.  If it turns out that we're connected more remotely, I'll definitely let you know!
