John, age 50, ships carpenter, and his wife Elizabeth, age 45, are listed with children William, age 20, seaman; Robie, age 18, ships carpenter; Martha, age 16; Frank, age 12; Annie, age 10; and Minnie, age 8. My husband's great grandfather is Matthias McLeod married to Catherine Harvey. Their son Frank, born 1861, immigrated to Lowell, Massachusetts in about 1884 where he married for the second time (nothing known about first marriage) and had two sons, Guy and Roy. Matthias had children George, age 24; Sarah, Susan, Harvey, Mary A., Francis, age 9; Bertha, Emma and Marina in 1871. Matthias was also a ships carpenter. Do you know if John is related to Matthias? There is also a George McLeod, age 80 in the 1871 census and I am wondering if this could be the father of Matthias and/or John. Any information that might indicate a connection or lack of one would be appreciated.
