Mclachlan family of Campbeltown, Scotland
« on: Saturday 28 March 15 10:34 GMT (UK) »
I cannot find any info on my g.grandfather's parent. G.grandfather was George McLachlan farm servant from Campbeltown, born around 1882. Married to Jessie Colville, born 1892.
Anyone have any info on this family please ?

Do you have him in any census ?....where do you get your info he was born Campbelltown ?
do you have his childrens names ?...if so - were any William or Margaret ?
it looks like a William McLachland and a Margaret (Black-maiden name) McLachlan had a George McLachlan in 1881

His son, my grandfather, George Colville McLachlan was born in Campbeltown in 1903. I got the g.grandfather & g. grandmother name from registers, but cannot find anything more than that.

Hi Larry - you have your dates wrong somewhere along the lines
George and Jessie had a son William baptised 22nd may 1891 - so Jessie Colville could not have been born 1892 ...???   and George could not have been born abt 1882 ...??
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTXG-FNY
do you have a date for the marriage of George and Jessie ?

Thanks for pointing that out, can't believe I didn't even notice it !! Back to the drawing board for me then ! G. grandparents names definately correct, but I must have looked up the wrong Jessie Colville.

No problem - looks like Jessie was born 1869 - here she is in Campelltown aged 12 in 1881 census
maybe someone can get the family for you from the index number ?

ADDED  I can't find a George McLachlan in 1881 or 1891 census in Campbelltown ....can another member please have a look in case I have missed him - thanks  :)

Thank you soooo much. I am new to this family tree business, but have managed to crack on with my other lines. But this one has had me stumped for ages.

Looks like Ev's ref to a marriage in 1890 will help you further to identify who George and Jessie were and their family.

A child, William b. 1891, shows here https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTXG-FNB

Added: Sorry, garstonite had already added son William's birth index entry from 1891  :P
