Now ive found some LOVE dna matches i thought Id try to summarise our findings so far
maggie love b 1857 was my grandmothers grandmother
I her story is starting to make sense & i may have found descendants of her sister isabelle LOVE b1860 & brother john love b1863
Their mother was Margaret b abt 1836 tho in some censuses rounded up to 1840
Margaret was never married
is listed as Margaret LOVE on daughters births
1861she is listed Margaret MAnners stepdaughter to her mother Elizabeth/ Isabelle Birrell .s 2nd husband
Her daughters are down as grandchildren: MargaretMUIR aged 4 and isabellaLUTCh 8 mths
after having john in 1863 she reverts to the name of LOVE.
In 1871 she is listed as head of household
Unmarried aged 35 bleach worker
All 3 children now have Love surname .
There is a james LOVE collier aged 33 b glasgow listed as brother
This would fit with 1841 census margaret LOVE aged 7 with brothers james aged 5 and david aged 9
all living with their 70 year old grandmother Margaret SHEDDIN
All were paupers of the parish of Eastmuir Shettleston
In 1851 margaret love aged 17 may be in service
With Willlium.Muir a servant father of her daughter Maggie .
1891 and on several electoral rolls margaret love is an ag lab
Son john a coalminer aged 24 .
They live at lightburn
Hope that is clear ..but ithink ive posted it on wrong thread .
