Ayrshire Templeton's

[dtemplet]

I've hit a brick wall with my G G Grandfather William Templeton b c 1828, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. He married Elizabeth Clark, 28 September 1849. However there are far too many William Templeton's born in Ayrshire around that time and I can't be sure who his parents were. Could be a John Templeton/ Janet Lermont but that's just a guess. Can anyone help [lease?

Have you found him on 1841 census?  What information was on the marriage records, and his death records?

Is this the family on the 1861 census address 25,Hope Street Bridgeton Glasgow
William Templeton age 36 born Kilmarnock occupation cotton weaver
Elizabeth Templeton age 40 born Ireland
Sarah Templeton age 9 born Kilmarnock
Rebecca Templeton age 8 born Kilmarnock
Isabella Templeton age 6 born Glasgow
William Templeton age 9 months born Bridgeton Glasgow

Would this be the same family in 1871/1881 Keighley Yorkshire ?
Death for a William Templeton 1884 Keighley Yorkshire age 56 .
As chempat has said what information is on his marriage /death records does it give an occupation for his father ?

I have one child born to John Templeton and Janet Lermont in my tree.

Although daughter Margaret( b 1826) was born in Kilmaurs, Ayrshire she married, lived and died in Paisley, Renfrewshire.
Her death cert confirms her parentage.

Meanwhile, Margaret's  own grand daughter married a man who's mother was also a Templeton from Kilmaurs.
His mother was called Helen Templeton ( bc 1831 Kilmaurs) and  as she fits the profiling, I had originally assumed that she too was also the daughter of John and Janet.
However, her death states that Helen was the daughter of John Templeton and Elizabeth Armour. ?

Yes guys. This is my William Templeton. He moved to Yorkshire from Glasgow. I also have an 1841 Census but can't be sure this is the right William.

Address Kilmaurs East Side

TEMPLETON      John         M      5                   Ayrshire       
TEMPLETON      Andrew         M      5m                   Ayrshire   

The age looks OK but there are many other William's born around 1828. I have a DOB of 29 June 1828 but again, not sure if this is for the right William.

Appreciate your feedback.

Freecen have a 16 year old William Templeton living in Kilmarnock in 1841 with a John and Sarah Templeton. He is a carpet weaver.

Possibly John Templeton and Sarah Allison. Familysearch have a birth of a son Robert to this couple in 1829 in Kilmarnock. This birth would match the Robert shown with them in 1841.
