Roger Mccloud

[Raasay123]

Does anyone know if  Roger Mccloud was the father of John,James and Bella in Liverpool in the 1790s?
Someone has posted that he was and Elizabeth was the mother on Ancestry.I thought it possible but not certain.
I saw a post concerning James and his marriage to Cicely Preston.I have a record of James' death and burial but cannot find where he was in the census of 1841 and 1851 although I have found him in 1861

According to them Bella was born 26th August 1788, baptised on the 7th Sept and died 30th Sept. She was the daughter of Roger and Elizabeth

Thanks so much for that.
That leads me to another query and that is concerning another John Mccloud who was the son of Roger and Catherine Grainger in the same time frame and also in Liverpool and a Mariner.Possibly a child from the first marriage.There seems to be a third John who was the son of Alexander in the time frame.
Only one seems to be around in 1841 and he is living in Chorley at the same time as James.Are they half brothers or cousins as clearly they can't be brothers thanks to your information.

Roger Mccloud married Catherine Grainger 23rd Oct 1774 St Pauls Liverpool.

If this is the same Roger why would he call another child John if his first son was still living?

There is also another John Mccloud born 10 Oct 1801 son of Thomas.

Is this the same Roger do you think?

Whilst I can understand a glut of John's I am not too sure that there might be two Rogers in the same area at the same time.
However James is the one I am interested in and hope he is Roger's son.if he is he became a butcher due no doubt to his wife's father's profession in Chorley.I have a fairly comprehensive tree on James but have always been stuck on James' parentage.
With regard to John,I can only find one surviving John and he lived in Chorley also at this time.As there were no others with that surname in Chorley in the 1820s I think it safe to assume they are related or is that unwise?

Not sure, it could be as your Roger was also a mariner. We need try and find death for Catherine.
