**Completed** Thomas Lees (Confused)

[old scotsman]

I have a marriage Between Thomas Lees and Jean Aird 11^th March 1733 Source IGI Extracted Local Record

Various Sources on the internet Genealogy sites gives different births and areas for Thomas Lees on this marriage.

It does not effect my tree as he was the husband of my ancestor but I would like to get it right.

I seem to get a lot of information on Thomas Lees born 13^th Apr 1735 in Coylton Parents David Lees and Mary Speir.

There was a Thomas Lees born 12^th Dec 1739 in Sorn Parents David Lees and Mary Speir (Source IGI Member Submitted) this Thomas works out as 1st cousin once removed to Jean Aird

Another source has Thomas Lees born 13_th April 1735 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire with parents David Lees and Mary Speir and Jean was his second marriage as he first married Janet Murdoch. I have confirmed that this Thomas Lees Christened 13^th April 1735 parents Isaak Lees and Mary (Source IGI Extracted Local Records)

I would be obliged is someone could help me work out this quandary as I seem to be going round in circles and getting nowhere.

Thanks in advance

Not sure this one can be figured out but perhaps a way to try is to follow down each individual Thomas LEES and that way perhaps you can eliminate some and at least narrow up the choices!  The OPR marriage of your Thomas LEES to Jean AIRD unfortunately only tellls you that he was of Coylton Parish at the time of the marriage.  This doesn't confirm that he was born there.  The OPR marriage also does not confirm an occupation or any fathers' names. 

Not much help....sorry!

Thanks Jean it would have been nice if his parents were on the marriage but nothing is simple with this hobby!

Again thank you for your help and good luck with you own tree.

Kind Regards
