Didn't find him on a general search Dave - these deaths might fit age wise, do you have Octavia's maiden name to help maybe ?

Thanks for looking Woody.

ANGEL. :2fun: Her father is the same Thomas.

John senior died after 1901 census.

John junior died after 16 May 1941 but not with parents in 1901.

This fits in with the other post. Curious thing that the 1855 birth and the marriage have Mary's name as CLEMENT(S) but Octavia has middle name of Clarendon:

1857 ANGEL OCTAVIA CLAREND F TRADESTON GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/09 0984
Octavia Clarendon ANGEL b. 12 Aug 1857 Tradeston, Glasgow, Lanark
Thomas ANGEL & Mary CLEMENT


and death lists mother with same name:

1941 ANGEL OCTAVIA MCPHERSON F 83 DUNOON /ARGYLL 510/01 0101

Thanks for that - wonder if they were on holiday in Dunoon (since Bearsden is outskirts of Glasgow and Dunoon was a popular "ferry 'cross the watter")- lucky them, I love Dunoon - Achnamara's probably named for a lovely little place by loch Sween - but I digress redf
I'll look again shortly but need to go out now - thanks again for quick my trip to Scotland :)

Ok, thanks for looking, Woody.

It's possible the one born Jamestown in abt 1890 died young and another son born later was also named John. I have nothing yet to support that, just thinking not to rely too much on 1890 as year of birth. John is not there in 1901.

I'll post a clip of the name from the death certificate on the Documents board.

If it is not Jno. McPherson then it is just J. McPherson. I'll look for baptisms after 1901. None on FS.

I'll return to this one some other time.
