	I've got DOBs for a couple of the McLeods from Familysearch but they don't tally with the results on here?

	Do you think Ann Sheddan is the same person as Ann Johnstone Sheddan? Why is the middle name included in some and not others?

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Sandra.... I have looked at the dates and the Cenus..Anne was born according to the IGI abt 1855..this corresponds with the info from the 1861 Census showing Aulay (snr) Accountant...which in turn corresponds with details from her MC to Mr.Bremner..she may have just knocked a few years off her age...if you can locate her 1891 Census (probably in the Gorbals) that may help clarify her details...

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	But just think of all the Laughs they have given us along the way...!!! If you look at the details for Anne from her MC one of the Witnesses' was a Jane McLeod...her younger sister was called Jane....
Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 1,307 Send Message	Sandra	Report	3 Feb 2010 11:07
	Erin, So, that Jeannie is actually Jane? I thought it was a Jean McLeod. Why don't they just stick to the names they were given? I did laugh yesterday,it was brilliant.
