Thanks Gadget - the right family as I recognise family names used for William & Annie McIlvain's children

Thanks so much - this is gold, i feel very 'bonded' to this side of my family and now have great leads to work on my tree. Much appreciated!

If you need anything else, just give a shout.

I see I've made Ann a s(on) on the 1861!  Sorry about that.

1871 Living in Dalziel

William Mcilvin   24  Railway Breakerman  b Ayrshire, Laltent?
Amy Mcilvin 26   b Lanarkshire, Glasgow
John Mcilvin 2
William Mcilvin    4 months
Thomas H Walker 2  Boarder

Another question - Thomas H walker 2 boarder - went to South Africa with the family and died under the name THW McKelvin 1886 to 1887. Is there a way to research his possible adoption in Scotland? (For clarity, The McIlvain name became McKelvin in South Africa)

Don't mean to muddle you Gadget, but I'd forgot about this query & don' think it's been answered?

Too early for legal adoptions but I think this is his birth if you need to find out his connection (possibly a relative through illegitimacy)?

Strange that I can't locate a death for Thomas Blain or Catherine Galloway MS.  Imrie, so far.

Both were dead when Ann Blain (Ms Galloway) dies in 1888.

*Need to check on children of William Galloway and Catherine Imrie for Ann's siblings, in case she died with one of them. Aged 77 on 1871.

* I recall seeing Thomas on 1881 - so he would likely have died 1881-1888
