Looking for my great, great, great grandfather....HELP!!

[FMFRANKO]

Hi there, my great, great, great grandfather was born in Ireland. His name was Robert McClure. He died in 1865, but, have no birth year. He married Elizabeth Lee, born 1815, but, no death year.
His son was John McClure, 1834-1918, who married Ann Caldwell, 1837-1918. They were in Glasgow by this time.
Hope this is enough information, if not, please ask me.
I am totally stuck on this, so, any assistance would be much appreciated

Scotlands select baptisms have

birth 6th April 1815
Barony ,Lanark Scotland

Welcome to Rootschat

Where did Robert die - Ireland or Scotland?  Nothing on SP for 1865

The 1861 Scottish census has a John McClure born Ireland in lodgings in Glasgow but no wife.  If this is your John - it suggests that Robert & Elizabeth married in Ireland

Where did you get the year of Robert McClure's death? There's only one Robert McClure death in 1865 in Ireland but he was only 16 years old-

None of the other deaths for 1860s look like they would have had a son born 1830s.

John McClure & Ann Caldwell married in 1865.  Is Robert shown as deceased on their marriage cert and you are assuming he died 1865?

1871 shows John born Ireland.  He is not on the Scottish 1851 so presumably came to Scotland between 1851-1861

Hi, I got the limited information from a friend who was doing my cousin's tree. I got no further information. Robert and Elizabeth married in Ireland, then came to Glasgow, as far as I am aware

Unfortunately, civil registration of marriages didn't start until 1864 (Catholic marriages) and 1845 (non-Catholic ones) o you need their religion and a location to see if a church record survives.

Do you know what denomination they were ? He was born prior to Civil Registration
Have you any idea as to which county he was born.
