Robert and Peter McLellan help
« on: Sunday 21 August 16 01:24 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Im trying to find infor on two brother Robert and Peter McLellan. I dont know their parents or births so trying to find them but on the 1851 census it says they were born in Luss and Robert is 63 and Peter is 66, both living together with Roberts sister in law Agnes McGregor, and in the 1841 Robert is 53 and living with his children and sister in law again. Im not sure when Peter or Robert died, its says in 1851 Peter is unmarried and Robert is the widower of Christina McGregor. The family seems to have stayed in Luss for numerous year

Robert and Christinas children are called: Andrew, James, Janet, Robert, Peter, John and Adam

If anyone can help thatd be great

Thanks

Thank you! had a wee look on familysearch.org and theres an Andrew McLellan and Janet Colquhoun who had a Peter, Robert and Elizabeth in Luss in 1784, 87 and 95 which seems likely but im going to go to the scotlands people building in Edinburgh on Friday to check that death cert

Thank you
