Parents for Agnes MCFARLANE of Busby Mearns
« on: Sunday 08 May 22 11:01 BST (UK) »
I had the wrong parents for Agnes
So am starting again .

place of baptism is not likely to be Southend Argyll if

 birth place is Busby
 as stated on censuse  when she is Mrs Agnes MacDermid (various spellings )in
1901 1891 1871

1861 gives Mearns Renfrew ..I've checked map and still in right area

1851 gives Pollockshaw ...in Eastwood Renfrew

If she is single female servant to Mrs William WALKER in Glasgow 1841 born Scotland
(the Walkers are b Lanarkshire)

She married Duncan MacDermid in 1851
In Eastwood
They subsequently lived in Pollockshaw and old monkland Lanarkshire  .

They had sons Duncan 1854-1855
Walter 1857
Duncan 1859
Malcolm 1861 #
.john 1864
Alexander 1866
Maybe other babies who died

So I thought I'd found correct father with second son named Walter .

BUT timber merchant Walter McFarlane of Dumbarton doesn't match ; his daughter emigrated to USA and married Robert greenlees

Any other candidates ?
