Maybe you already have Dave but on the same ship as Archibald and Christina there is an Alick Blackley postman aged 43, residence 1 Wallace Place, Edlerlie who must be yours too?

Hello Barbara,

Thank you very much.

No, Alick is a new one on me.

The two children I have for Archibald & Christina are:

Jane McGowan/McCowan b. 29 Jun 1896 Paisley

Thomas Neil b. 14 Jun 1898 Paisley


So Alick born abt 1882 is not from that branch.

Regards,

Dave

I wasnt meaning that he was that close a relative just that you already have Blackneys from Ederslie and that he might be another of them. His parents seem to be John 1854 born Ireland and his mother is Jane born 1856 Renfrewshhire. They are in Paisley in 1891

Or is it a very common name in Ireland and lots of them came over to Scotland for work?

Hello Barbara,

Ah. Thanks. I have not found where John senior, a master mason, came from in Ireland. The two marriage records seem to suggest he died between 1861 and 1864 but so far he has not been found in any census.

I have tried to find Isabella's origin knowing her parents were Thomas McGuire and Mary Ellist and made no progress.

I have no idea if the Blackley name is common or not or if many came to work in Scotland. About all I can say is that my Hamilton family of Antrim/Down originated in Scotland and were part of the movement in 17th C to northern Ireland.

Regards,

Dave
