Hello Innes Sorry for a late response to your message on the 17 November, but would appreciate you doing a lookup for me in your data associated with the Methodist connections in Montrose Street. George Swan was born around 1843-45 to David Swan and Margaret Aitken, but I cannot find any record of actual date of birth or baptism. His nine older siblings were all recorded as born and/or baptised in the OPR records of Glasgow and Barony. There is nothing in the OPRs for George. George Swan was married to Marion Taylor with a Methodist service at 122 Montrose Street Glasgow on the 14 July 1865. As the calculated date of his birth is around 1843-45, this coincides with the split in the established church. Perhaps the family moved away to the Methodists? As George Swan is my Great Grandfather, anything you may find will be greatly appreciated.
