Hi Rosie


Yes i ment James mclaren born 1855.Yes it would help a lot if they were all like that.

Catherine never married again.Ellen Mclarens sister Agnes married in lasswade midlothian 1887.
Then came back to Paisley.Agneses daughter Catherine Nevile married a william Fleming in Pailsley and later emigrated to Kearny New Jersey usa.I know this because my mums brother James mclaren Emigated from kilsyth 1928 and went to live with them .

At time of Helens death in 1940 she lived at inchinnian road paisley.I had thought of the Stewarts been related.Ellen was born 1862 so she would have been 9 on the 1871 cencus and Agnes would have been 12.Thats what i cant understand im sure they must still have lived together.James would have been 16.

Hopefully find them one day.lol.


Thanks for trying

Marguerite

Really.

whos tree is he on.

Maybe he did die 1863 .

I Have also tried to find parents of James Mclaren 1829.I guessed his mother was Agnes after the naming pattern.As hellen and Ellenor are from catherine conells family.Also John i think might have been his fathers name.

I found a James Mclaren married to a Catherine but her name wasnt Connell.But it had father John Mclaren and mother Agnes Mclaren.

Im away to have another look on Scotlands people.

As you say they really are hard to find.lol.

Thanks

Hi

Can anyone help .

My GGgrandparents. James Mclaren born ireland 1828 married Catherine Conell born ireland 1833.

Catherine lived with her parents Timothy and Ellenor Connell in Johnstone .They came from Ireland.
Got them on the 1851 cencus for Johnstone .

Tried to find James Mclarens parents .BIG BRICK WALL.LOL

They married in Paisley 1855. Ive got them on the 1861 cencus for Johnstone.They have James b. 1855 ,My G GRANDFATHER  age 6  .Ellanor J  4 and Agnes  3.I know they had hellen born 1862 and Jonh b 1863.Hellen married John Mclaughlan 1884 and she died age 81 in 1940.in PAISLEY.Hellen and john lived Graham street at time of marriage.

Cant find anything on Ellanor J.

John died as a baby.

agnes married Robert neville.She died Paisley .


Tried to find family of Hellen and John Mclaughlan.It was Agnes mclaren Nevilles daughter who signed her death certificate .So maybe they didnt have family.

Cant find james and Catherine Mclaren on 1871 cencus.

Their son James mclaren b 1855 married Elizabeth Gorman in 1874 .Said Father james mclaren was deceased.I have tried loads on scotlands people over the past few years to find him.Both James and Elizabeth address was for Lochwinoch at time of marriage.



Catherine connell Mclaren died 1880 in pollockshaws.Her daughter Hellen Mclaren signed her death certificate.Helen would have been 19 at the time of her  mothers death.

Could anyone help .Either finding them on 1871 cencus or  James Mclarens death.
