John FORREST and Helen SMITH in BLANTYRE
« on: Wednesday 23 August 17 12:42 BST (UK) »
Another brick wall needs knocking down please

I have my 4 x gt grandparents living in Blantyre....they married in 1810 in East Kilbride. They have 5 children that I know of

James born 1811 Flemington
John born 1815 Barnhill
Margaret born 1819 Blantyre
John 1822 Blantyre
Janet 1825 Blantyre

The only one I know anything about is Margaret as she is my 3 x great grandmother

Can't find them in any census ....on Margaret's death certificate 1865 they are both deceased and his occupation is listed as cattle dealer

Many thanks
Karen
