East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: Logan family - East Lothian

Hi,
I think your Logan family is the same as mine. James Logan 1877-1933) was the son of David Logan,who was my great grandfather (Alexander's) brother. I have been to East Linton (Prestonkirk), and visited David's grave. Can't seem to trace the Logan family back any further than his father, James (1870-1858). Happy to help with info if I can.

Regards,
lenna

Hi Margaret, James Logan was my great great grandfather. He died at 11 Millarston, Paisley on 11 July 1858 age 68, cause of death, old age and debility. You will find a copy of his death certificate on Scotlands People (Statutory registers deaths 559/1207). His wife, Jean Bolton died 11 March 1858 at the same address from bronchitis, (Statutory registers deaths 559/1 84), they are both buried at High Church, Paisley. My great grandfather was Alexander Logan, born 4 Dec 1855, hence the reason he does not appear on 1851 census. I cannot find a birth certificate for him, or any of his siblings, which makes me think they were born abroad. I do wonder about the Margaret Sommerville on your great great great grandfather's death certificate, where does she fit in?

Hope this fills a few gaps for you.

Hello, I have been researching my father's family for around five years. His great great grandfather was James Logan who died 11 July 1858 @ 11 Millerston, Paisley, age 68. He was married to Jean Bolton - born Ireland (1809-1858). His grandfather-father was Alexander born 1855, however I can find no trace of his birth certificate in Scotland, likewise for his siblings Charlotte/Charlet, James, David, and Mary (all shown on 1851 census in Paisley). I thought perhaps, they were all born during his army service or in Ireland. As to the mystery of the Logan's in East Linton, I have always known there were cousins there and have inherited photos taken there. I visited the grave of David Logan/Helen Bryson yesterday, and I believe from his birth cert, that his mother may have been a mistress of James Logan, and why there is no mother mentioned on his death cert.  As to who Margaret Sommerville was, it's mystery? Happy to dig around even more into this Logan family.

Lenna.
