In Renfrewshire in the 1840s it was definitely column 4.

Either way, it looks like we'll need to try to get back yet another generation in an attempt to prove our elusive Irish link. Pretty much everyone else on the page is Irish, just to frustrate me that little bit more.

Have you got them on the 1851? Does it give a place for James on that?

He died in 1848/9, we've got a burial record. Sadly he was buried on the same day as his wife and the children all ended up in the poorhouse.

Were the family Catholic?

Looking at the names of the children, James & Mary may be names for his parents not that it helps when you have no place in Ireland to work with.

I did check in the few early Catholic registers on SP but nothing there. I suppose that they could have married in Ireland.

No I didn't - that was for someone else  :-X
