Renfrewshire / Re: McLatchie family of Paisley
« on: Sunday 19 February 17 00:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi thanks for your post
I have also been wondering about the name Hall. I have not been able to find my ggg grandfather (James) Hall McLatchie's birth record or parents. I thought Hall could possibly be his mother's surname. Ivey McClatchie married a Mary Hall in Dalrymple (south west of Cumnock) in 1777, but can only find children named Janet/Jennet, Margaret and Sarah. Hall was born around 1781.
Good luck with your search.

Derbyshire / Downan or Dowman in Ockbrook
« on: Sunday 28 August 16 01:31 BST (UK)  »
My ggg grandfather Isaac Beardley married Mary Downan in Ockbrook in 1823 (according to the marriage transcript) however I am not sure if her correct name is Mary Dowman or Dowman. There are Dowmans living in Ockbrook. The confusing thing is that a Mary Dowman married a Thomas Rossell in Ockbrook in 1825, but this is a different Mary as mine is on the 1841 census as Mary Beardsley living with Isaac and died around 1861. I am having trouble finding my Mary's family. Could there be two Mary Dowmans in the same small town?
Thanks
Chris

Thanks for your detective work Trish
I will look into the the John and Elizabeth Beardsley as well as Berdsley options.
The children's names are very similar to Isaac and Mary's children.
Much appreciated
Chris :D

Wow thank you so much Looby and Monica. I really appreciate all of your help finding Grace. I didn't expect her to live to that age. 😀😀
Best wishes to you both

Hello
I believe that my ggg-grandfather Isaac Beadsley (b 1792) born in either Ilkeston or Kirk Hallam was the son of John Beardsley and Ann Straw of Ilkeston. Does anyone have information about Isaac's exact birth date and location. He eventually settled in Ockbrook and many generations lived there. I can't find details of his siblings.
Thanks

Hi Monica

I found that Hall McLatchie was also known as James and that he married Greace McCalom on 20 June 1812 in Abbey, Paisley. She was born as Grizal McCalom in Abbey on 19 December 1790 according to Scotland select births and baptisms to Mary Gilkrus and Archbald McCalom. Grizal is a form of Grace. But still can't find Grace's death information, nor any other children apart from Janet. I am wondering if she remarried after Halls death. I don't know where the name Hall came from.

Thanks Chris

Thank you for all of your help Monica. I will leave it for now and start on another part of my family. It sounds like the family was poor after Hall died.
Best wishes
Chris

Hi Monica
According to the burials in Abbey Close graveyard, there are two headstones of interest. One is in memory of Hall McLatchie aged 47 who died on 6/7/1828 and the other is in memory of Hale McLatchie who died on 6/7/1828 aged 27. Maybe you are right and a person misread the writing on the second one, but why are there two headstones? He was a stone mason, so am not sure. And yes that is my family tree that you gave the link for on ancestry.

Thanks
Chris

Renfrewshire / McLatchie family of Paisley

Hello this is my first post.
My great great great grandfather Hall McLatchie was a mason and builder. He was born in Paisley in 1781 and was buried at Abbey Close on 6/7/1828. He died on the same day as another McLatchie so I suppose it was due to an accident. He married Grace McCallum on 20/06/1812 and had a child Janet in December 1818. I can't find any other children and don't know anything about his parents or siblings.
Thanks Chris
