Title: Blue family of Greenock Renfrewshire.
Post by: Rosemary Howell on Friday 27 March 15 10:47 GMT (UK)

Hello  ,This is my first time here. Hoping for some help with the Blue family. Daniel [ Angus] Blue born 26th Jan. 1762. in Greenock ? some of the family also went to Glasgow, and others went to Thorpe in Norfolk. Fingers crossed that some friendly members or perhaps family members can help. :)

Members of the Blue families of Greenock were sugar refinery worker ... Alex & John in Greenock, George Meldrum and his son of the same name at Lyle's Plaistow Wharf refinery in Silvertown, London.
