Hi Katty1,

Hi

One that was on the site and maybe a relation:

Robert McLeod, Sailmaker. 2nd Son of Late Aulay McLeod died at sea on 1st April 1880.

Hi

Just came across this thread....it was the Greenock that caught my eye.

My mum and her ancestors are from Greenock and Port Glasgow.....my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins still live there.

Not sure if you have came across this site....it has a lot of BMD's from those area's and has helped me.

I have found this on 1881 Census, so she may be in England in 1891 ?

Sandra...Have not been long in from work so am going to soak my feet before I get caught up with Aulay again....
Found some fascinating history re the name....Aulay (McCaulay)...there are two distinctive "Clans" one from Lewis the other Dumbartonshire....and it all depends on what Christian names follow through in how to determine which one "you " would come from...Thats for another day...
Did you find out where Ann was on the 1891 Census...shes got to be somewhere...
Oh and John (who died at Newport was also John "Gillespie" McLeod...) another name to add to the collection...Dont even ask where Gillespie comes into it...I have looked...promise....

Well Erin,
You really are clever, how the heck did you manage to make sense of all that? Thank you, you deserve a lie down after that ( and a few stiff drinks)

Sandra...Have pulled all the bits together relating to Aulay McLeod (1855) son of Ann Johnson Sheddan and Auley McLeod...it takes some ploughing through after 103 replies...!!!!

I don't know what I have anymore...............lol
Well, she can't be found on 1891. Where was she?

Sandra...You already have the 1901 Cenus for Ann and John they are in Stirling...

No, hang on, it says she was born in Aberdeen. Something not quite right here (as usual with my family)

I asked SJR for 1891 and 1901 Census lookup for Ann McLeod and she came up trumps with 1901 but no luck in 1891. -

I cannot find Ann Mcleod in 1891

Oh B____dy hell, don't say that. NOT MORE

Sandra...Thats all we need..but yes I hadnt noticed that either...am slipping..also a big gap between childrens births...must have been others around that we haven't found yet...!!!

I've just noticed.......
Aulay and Ann must be twins as they have the same DOB.

Thanks Erin.
How would I manage without you.

Oh thanks pal for the vote of confidence. lol

Sandra...I am hedging my bets on this lot but it looks highly probable in the clear light of day....this afternoon/evening will be another story...of that I am sure...

John Sheddan and Ann Johnston were married 11 June 1813..West/Old Parish Greenock

Looks like the right lot, do you agree?
