Hello everybody,

I am looking for the name Swan or McSwan. I have a death certificate from Donald McSwan. His father was Angus McSwan married with Euphemia McLean both lived in Stirlingshire - Aloa.
This i find at census 1861 -scotlandpeople,gov.uk.
My Question is, there are record stirling not stirlingshire and old parish can't find Aloa where do I look to find more. If tried also record stirling and parish record stirling.Donald moved to Mithlotian - Leith South,
he married Isobel McDonald.
Have someone heart about this family. and can I find more in Stirlingshire Aloa.


Kind regards Adrie Swan

Alloe is about 10-12 kms East of Stirling in Clackmannanshire on the road from Stirling to Clackmannan

Probably a typing error by Michael - should be spelt ALLOA.

This link: http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=fk10&countryCode=GB should take you to the general area.

Hi Adrie,

It's been a long time since you posted this message, but I am wondering if you found Euphemia and Angus? I stumbled on the same problem, I can't find any record of them.

Regards, Imelda

If you are asking about the availability of records in the parish/town of Stirling, as opposed to the county of Stirling, the answer is yes, they do exist.

It is Alloa not Aloa and it is not in the County of Stirling/Stirlingshire. It is the largest town in the County of Clackmannan/Clackmannanshire.
