James and Rebecca Stafford 1851
« on: Saturday 04 February 06 19:11 GMT (UK) »
Hello I am trying to track down where James  and Rebecca Stafford were in 1851. They would have been in the Paisley or Johnstone area in 1841 and probably in the Johnstone/ Eldersdale/Thorn areas.
However the family do not appear to be in Renfrewshire in 1851, possibly they were in Glasgow area for a short while.
James Stafford was married to Rebecca Laurie who died sometime between 1850 and 1855 they had children namely
Mary b 1834
Margaret 1836
James 1838
Elizabeth 1840
Samuel 1842
Andrew 1844
William 1845
Rebecca 1847
Isabella 1850
thank you

Hi

James Stafford & Rebecca Laurie
Married: November 30, 1832
Place: Neilston, Renfrew, Scotland

Children:

Mary Stafford
Birth: October 19, 1833
Place: Abbey, Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland
Father: James Stafford
Mother: Rebecca Laurie

Andrew Stafford
Birth: October 31, 1843
Place: Abbey, Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland
Father: James Stafford
Mother: Rebecca Laurie

Unfortunately this is all I could find for James and Rebecca. It looks like James may have remarried, on August 16, 1852 in Abbey, Paisley, Renfrew, to Marhta Leipart.

If you check this area, you will find 2 Rebecca's born to Rebecca and James' children.

Thanks for the info Janice

James Stafford remarried not to Martha Leipart ( I have managed to rule her out ) but to a Margaret Smith in 1858 in East Tarbet Argylshire.
Where he had 4 more children.
