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

Renfrewshire / McLatchie family of Paisley
« on: Monday 01 August 16 11:50 BST (UK)  »
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
