Pat, probably a co-incidence, but I have a Peter Aitken who married a Mary Jane McKay, 1853, Glasgow, unfortunately I don't know Mary Jane's parents, she died 1876?

Hi Irene, Thank you very much for looking. I appreciate your help. Thank you Pat -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, 4 June 2006 10:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Renfrew] AITKEN There is no online index but MIs for Renfrewshire have been published by the Scottish Genealogy Society. The entries are indexed by surnames only and I can see no stone with both Aitken and McKay on it in a Greenock cemetery. However SGS transcriptions concentrate on stones with pre-1855 inscriptions so one with only an 1865 death may not be included. Not every burial included a permanent monument. Irene

There's no Shier in the index of Greenock MIs............ but as I said it concentrates on pre-1855 stones. Lots of Shaw and Shearer stones. Shier is not a name I've come across before. I think the Renfrewshire FHS has a Greenock burials CD in the pipeline. Irene

When I was looking for my ancestors in the Renfrewshire area I contacted the Renfrewshire Council by looking for them on Google. They did look-ups for me but they will charge you.

This is Margaret from Mooloolaba in Qld Australia. Could anyone supply information about Paisley area cemeteries that list interred for online research. I'm trying to locate death dates for early ancestors. My research has taken me back to he 1700s and earlier. Clarks were from Lochwinnoch; Barbours from Lochwinnoch or Dalry; Lyles from Kilbarchan and Johnsone; Langs from Johnstone; McNairs from Abbey; McLeans from Paisley; Pollocks from Dalry Any assistance appreciated.

Hello all, Is there an index for cemeteries in Greenock, Renfrew. My GG Grandmother died on the 19th Feb 1865 - registered in District West, Burgh of Greenock, her name was Ann AITKEN nee McKAY. I would love to find her exact burial details and find out if there is a headstone. It was shortly after her death that her husband and youngest two children left to emigrate to Australia where most of the rest of the family was. Thank you Pat

Hello William, Welcome to the genealogy addiction. I have looked briefly in the 1881 census for Jas Mun & have pasted a couple of long shots below. Do you have any birth dates for James or his parents which would help in narrowing down the possibilities. ?

As far as I know Pat, there is no online index to Greenock Cemetery burials. If there had been it would have helped me prepare when I visited the Cemetery last year.

Oi William, tudo ben? Esta bon para ter un Brasileiro aqui. Boa viagem! Com voce e Ingles, meu Portuguese esta simples. Mas seu Ingles esta melhor que meu Portuguese! Agorra eu falo Ingles. There is little bit of information on the IGI about James, his brother Walter and their parents Walter and Margaret. What exactly are you looking for? Do you want to learn more of James descendants or ancestors? Or both? Perhaps if you tell us exactly what you know already. Kind regards Angus Ferguson.

I was trying to direct a new lister on how to sign up for this list and accidentally put the ‘request’ address in the “To” column and forgot to delete it before I sent it. Kristina

Hello: Thank you for the response. I have already checked out all the "John Husband"s on the IGI, and unfortunately, none of them are my John. The David Husband, born 1833, is the youngest son of my John. His oldest son, Alexander, is my 3xgrandfather. I have also read many of the parish records for Johnstone and Neilston, Renfrew but cannot find any mention of John or his wife, Ann Robertson. I'll just have to keep looking. Cheers, Bobbie

Hello. Try _www.familysearch.org, put in the name and date and you will find the following_ (http://www.familysearch.org, put in the name and date and you will find the following) John Husbands in Scotland: b 16 Oct 1793, Chr. 20 Oct 1793 Kinghorn, Fife, parents William & Ann Thomson. The Batch number is C114396 Source 1040168 and the fiche #6900568 = 4 Chr. 30 Dec 1792 Tibbermore, Perth; parents John & Katherine Fortheringham. Batch C114585, Source 1040182 b Apr 23 1802 Chr 23 May 1802 Torryburn, Fife, parents John and Margaret Thomson. 458656, 446200 pg 241, Batch C114585, source 1040182, sheet 41, source 0538631. As you can see, there are multiple listings for this John. There is a child listed David b 2 Jul 1833 Johnston, Paisely Abbey(Paisley)

Stephen, I wandered over to Scot's People and cannot find John Aiton being born in Houston or Renfrew, but I did find one John Aiton born in Scotland in 1859. Btw...Scot's People show four born between 1855-1865. However, when I checked for Aiton and McNair marriage, I cannot find one listed at Scot's People between 1855-1930 or their old Parish records (pre 1855). You might want sped a few coin and get the birth records and determine which is your kin. Cheers!!!
