Title: Letham
Post by: soapy1 on Friday 05 April 13 18:21 BST (UK)

My friend is looking for a birth of her ggg grandfather John Letham.
He married Janet Blair 1814 in Cadder and they had 3 sons. John born 1815, William born 1817 (must have died) and James born 1819.
In the 1841 census for Cadder he was aged 65 I know this census was rounded
down to nearest 5 so he could have been between 65 and 69.
The census shows he wasnt born in this county but the scoring on the census form
is so badly marked by whoever was doing the census & Janet appears to have been born
in Ireland , so i've no idea where to look
There are no details for his mother so she must have died earlier, but can't find her name at all, and as there were 3 sons, no daughters were called after her
Can anyone help out please?
