thanx MonicaL for the 1841 census :-)
but you have created another mystery as so far I havent heard of a Mary !
I have searched scotlandspeople for bmds and census for Mary and found nothing , except of course the 1841 !
if she is Isobellas daughter then she must have had her when she was 15 !
cant wait to see the census for 1841 , might go mad and buy it tomorrow !

Buteshire / Isabella Black

Ashtone the first evidence I have regarding Helen is her marriage to Michael Findlay, she died in 1884 aged 75 giving her an estimated dob of 1808/1809 and the transcription of the gravestone in Irvine , which I have attached !
I see an Isobella McKinnon on the 1841 census aged 55 in Irvine , but no credits left have to wait until the end of the month !
I have her on the 1851 census as Isabella McKinnon aged 65 (pauper) in Irvine born in Buteshire !
I have her death certificate , she died in 1862 in Irvine !

Buteshire / Isabella Blcak
« on: Thursday 18 April 24 15:28 BST (UK) »Looking for information on Isabella Black
(my 5 times great grandmother) who was born on Arran Buteshire Scotland circa 1785 , she "married" John McKinnon/McKennon and they had a daughter
Helen Black McKinnon also born on Arran circa 1808.
Helen married Michael Findlay in Irvine in 1829 and when Michael died she erected a gravestone in the Old Parish Church Irvine graveyard , which included that her father John died in October 1810 in Chelsea aged 24, giving him an approximate dob as 1786 also her mother Isabella in 1862 !
on Isabella's death certificate (she died in Irvine) it named John McKennon her husband, (deceased ) and he was a soldier !
I have searched scotlandspeople for a marriage for John and Isabella and a birth certificate for allof them , but no luck , I have also searched for John McKinnon(McKennon but unsure of which one is him !
so for the long story but any help would be appreciated !

Family History Beginners Board / Chelsea Pensioner Look Up Please
« on: Tuesday 16 April 24 11:30 BST (UK) »
I am trying to seek further information on my four times great grandfather John McKennon !
according to a headstone erected by his daughter Helen McKennon in Irvine Ayrshire Scotland , he died in Chelsea in October 1810 aged 24, giving him an estimated dob of 1786 .
he was "married" to Isabella Black McKinnon and on her death certificate , she was the widow of John McKinnon , soldier , she was born in Arran, Buteshire, Scotland .
their daughter Helen was born in 1808 on the Isle of Arran Bute Scotland .
this is the only information I have !
so "soldier" and dying in Chelsea suggests he was a Chelsea Pensioner but this has not been confirmed !
I have checked National Archives but the correct John McKInnon/McKennon doesnt seem to be there
any help would be gratefully appreciated !
