John RENWICK
« on: Wednesday 07 July 21 10:31 BST (UK) »
Not sure where to put this. I have the above, deceased by 1891, who was a First Mate in the Merchant Service. He was married to Catherine WHITE and they had a daughter, Ellen (maybe Helen) The daughter married (MCMILLAN)  in Scotland and just showed her birth as England on the census. I haven't been able to find a birth record for her. Can anyone direct me to any resources for the Merchant Service as my last chance to find the family?

Can you give any timescales?  When was he born?  How old was Ellen/Helen when she married & when did she marry?

There is a tree on Ancestry showing birth in London & death in 1891 Ayrshire.  Age at death was 44 so birthyear more like 1846/47

Ellen’s death record in 1891 shows age at death as 44 and I saw the tree and census that showed London but cannot find a birth record between 1845 and 1850. Yes she did marry Dugall McMillan and I have all the family information. Having recently got her death record and discovered her father and mother’s name it is them that I am after.

Neale Originally I only had the Scotland select marriages entry on ancestry but I now have the registration from Scotlands People. This has further confused the issue by showing her age, at marriage in 1874 as 24. She is the daughter of John RENWICK, Gardener (deceased) and Ellen RENWICK  but I can't quite make out the maiden name. Her husband's age changes as time goes by, i had his date of birth as 25 Sep 1837 but here his age is given as 30 i.e. born around 1844. he is a Police Constable, do you know if there are any police records online.
Any thoughts on the name?

I think you have to use credits to see that image.
