Hello cp,
John BLACKLEY (many variations) b. 1796 +/- 5 say
I really have no idea how much older than Isabella he might have been. Perhaps more than 5 years.
He is a master stone mason journeyman born in Ireland but let's not assume the census listing won't say born Paisley, Renfrew.
One daughter married in 1861 and he is not listed as being deceased.
Another daughter married in 1864 and he is listed as deceased.
Isabella not listed as a widow or am I wrong about that? Is it usual not to include condition?
A tough one but please see if you can find John in 1861. Thanks. I won't say he stayed in Renfrew or even in Scotland. A son ended up living in Lancashire for some reason.
Regards,
Dave
