Wow Rosie !! My GG Grandfather James Ferguson married Elizabeth in 1902, i have the ceertificate and the address is 54 Fairfield St Govan so yes indeed that is the right family. Thank you x




This is a bit of a jumble in the 1901 census with birth years and places so maybe  ???
Duncan McLaren b 1859 Pitlochrie /Pitlochry Perthshire age 42 ship yard redbader ?
Jane McLaren b 1864 Skelmorie age 37 domestic servant
Lizzie McLaren b 1882 Skelmorie Renfrews age 19 domestic servant
Living 54 Fairfield Street Govan
Nicholson with ancestors going back to Sligo. Nicholsons who went to California, names will be different now due to marriage.
Also McShane parent Henry McShane

 Also it does state that Duncan was a ship painter ! However on Elizabeths death certificate from May 1951 it states Duncan her father was a grocer !
