Daniell MCNEILL - Glasgow

[mad for trad]

hi trying to trace family tree looking for g/g/g/g/grandfathers birthplace i know he lived in pollockshaws glasgow with his wife mary and seven children according to 1851 census he was married to mary darroch i have found a parish record for a marriage in campbeltown but can find no other records any help would be appreciated

Is this the correct 1851 entry as you don't give any details of ages or of the childrens names

Daniel McNeill 38 
Mary 38 
William   16 
Daniel  14 
James  12 
Jane  10 
Matilda   7 
Rachael 6
Mary  2  b Glasgow

if it is the right entry - Daniel & Mary plus the first 6 children were all b Ireland so must have married there
Looking at Rachael's age of 6 and youngest child age 2 b Lanarkshire - they only came to Scotland between 1844-1848

A copy of daughter Mary's birth entry should give you her mothers maiden name

You should be able to find the family on the 1861 and Mary up to 1891 now.

When was son John born?

It looks as if you might be lucky. On the 1861, son John was aged 6. If he was born 1855, you'll get lots of details of his parents marriage, origins, etc.
