Post by: Ryan1 on Friday 07 March 14 06:57 GMT (UK)

Hello,

Looking for a marriage please for John Lungan and Mary McIlveigh around 1835's in or around Greenock

Also birth of daughter Catherine around 1835.

Any help gratefully received.  Many thanks.

Hi Daniel ,

There is a Catherine Longen aged 17 with parents John(52) and Mary(54) on the 1851 Census transcription in Greenock( http://www.freecen.org.uk/ ).
Also a daughter Mary aged 31.
If that is the correct family it may indicate that John and Mary were married long before 1835 , unless it was a second marriage for John  :-\

Hi Daniel,
Looking through your recent posts we seem to be chasing a few of the same people.

I have records of children born from the relationship of John and Mary starting in November 1819 registered at St Marys Greenock, so I assume the marriage took place around 1819 or shortly before. To date I have not been able to locate a birth record for Catherine or a wedding for John and Mary.

Note that Marys surname is spelt differently on almost every occasion so I have no idea what the correct spelling is, but in the earlier records I have its McElwee, Mucklewee, McIlwee etc, while John usually is Longan, Lurgan, Lungan, so maybe its a name variation issue that is stopping us locating it.

Regards
