Lanarkshire / A brick wall - Elizabeth McDowall
« on: Friday 21 December 07 17:59 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find some information on my Gt. Gran Elizabeth McDowell
Her Father was William McDowell and Mother was Elizabeth Craig. She would have been born around 1892. According to family members they seemed to think she was born in the Highlands. All records I have found so far indicate a glasgow connection.
I have been unable to find a birth register on Scotland’s People or a census register for 1901. Elizabeth Craig died in Childbirth circa 1897 in Glasgow. William McDowell was an Engine fitter. They were married in Paisley.
I have found her Marriage register to Alexander Reid in 1913 which took place in Glasgow. She just seems to have appeared from nowhere!
If anyone can help me, with ideas as to where I can look now, I would be ever so grateful.

Argyllshire / McLellan Family Campbeltown

I am trying to find some information on John McLellan and Flora Bryson.
Flora died on the 16th May 1917 aged 52, at Burnbank Place Campbeltown.
Her parents are listed as John McLellan Shoemaker and Martha McLellan nee Docherty
However Flora had a son Dugald McLellan born 7th March 1881.
This child was illegitimate.
Martha McLellan registered this birth.
When Dugald McLellan married Margaret Mitchell McPherson on the 11th September 1903, Dugald’s Father is listed as John McLellan Shoemaker
I am trying to find out more information about this, is there a skeleton in my cupboard?
If anyone can help me I would be ever so grateful
