I'm not sure if Jane is an error for Elizabeth or if John remarried between 1841 and 1851. From an 1856 marriage Elizabeth is deceased.

If we stay in Rehfrew then this one:

John Barbour
Spouse's Name: Jean Galston
Event Date: 13 Nov 1847
Event Place: Lochwinnoch, Renfrew
Batch: M115705

If Lanark:

John Barbar
Spouse's Name: Janet Black
Event Date: 18 Feb 1849
Event Place: Gorbals, Lanark
Batch: M119357


Elizabeth Black
Birth Date: 7 Jan 1850
Birthplace: WEST OR OLD PARISH, GREENOCK, RENFREW
Father's Name: James Black
Mother's Name: Mary Barbour
Batch: C119578

I can't find the marriage of James to Mary 1841 - 1854 in Renfrew or Lanark.

 

[DaveHam9]

So, a death for Elizabeth 1841 - 1856 and a death for Jane 1851 - 1861.

Can't find a death/burial for Elizabeth.


Death 1860 BARBOUR Jane ( ? ) Greenock, Renfrew Age ?

Other name not BLACK or GALSTON or ARROL or SHEARER or BAIRD or STEWART.

Don't know Jane's maiden name and can't find the marriage.

John Barbour
Christening Date: 17 Nov 1793
Christening Place: HOUSTON AND KILLELLAN,Renfrew
Father's Name: Archibald Barbour
Mother's Name: Mary Douglas
Batch: C115652

John's age is a bit short in 1861. Perhaps 61 should be 67.

Death 1875 BARBOUR John - Greenock, Renfrew Age 83

I'd like a look up please for John in 1871.

Thanks,

Dave

I think you're right, Dave..
1851
John Barbour 55
Elizabeth Barbour 55

All other details appear to be the same.

Thanks Geoff.

I couldn't find a second marriage. That means a death for Elizabeth 1851 - 1856, but no sign so probably before 1855.


No luck at the library with any of the baptisms where we tried to guess the volume for either CofE or Presbyterian.
