Henry McLeod Death

[Michelle56]

Hi, can anyone tell me when Henry McLeod died.

According to the 1841 census he was born in 1806.

I think he could have been born in 1796.

He was married to Janet Murdoch and had 4 children, Janet, John, Duncan and Catherine.

His address was West Quay Lane, Greenock and his occupation was a cooper.

chelle,

The 1841 census, was different, the age given maybe 35 but this could have been rounded down from 36 to 39. So he could have been 35 to 39 on that date.

I have checked deaths from 1855 on SP and he does not show up there.

You may have to try and find the family in 1851 and 1861 census.
