Hi Colin, Thank you for your help. I have looked at those 4 before and wondered if they are possible's. The most likely of them is James and Agnes and my choice is only because they are the closest to Greenock, but none of their children were called James or Agnes. Then again, just because Andrew recorded it on his daughter's birth registration that he was from Greenock, regrettably doesn't mean he actually was. I am just hoping that he recorded the correct place he was born. It may end up to have been where he was living in the years before he came to Australia. So far I haven't been able to find any likely family with an Andrew on the 1841 census. Jane was Andrew's Wife's and Mother-in-Law's names and went back at least one more generation to Jane Jewell, grandmother of Andrew's wife. If the names of Andrew's children hold any clues to the names of his parents the I would guess that his father was named either Andrew, William or George and his mother was either Sarah or Emma. That is only guesswork though. Thanks again for your help, Diane

Hi Diane, Sorry I could not be of more help with your query. What does the death certificate of Andrew say, does it mention his parents at all? It never ceases to amaze me how our ancestors never seem to tell their family of their parents or the place they were born.{;-) Sometimes a person will say he/she will say they were born in a particular place as that is where they grew up but in fact were born elsewhere. I have a couple like that and it took me some years to find their actual birthplace. If I can be of further help, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck with your research!
