Sorry abt spelling mistakes in surnames also not reluctant to communicate but my computor is playing up deaths district of Govan Glasgow Catherine Johnstone widow of 1 Charles McAleese gardener 2nd William Johnstone,flax dresser 1940 march 17th Fairfield st Glasgow,79 Y ears,father John Mcaleese farm servant Dec mother Rose McLeese msDocherty Dec miocardis,chronic bronchitis as cert Evelyn Annie Weyman informant Robert McAleese son 38 Fairfield st Glasgow.     So according to this would you say she was a widow twice by her death or William Johnston is still alive.cant find his death as spelling of Johnston/e also tricky one.     1915 marriage of Matilda McAleese 30th June StAnthonys Chapel Govan Glasgow banns Roman Catholic church.  Andrew Munro rivetter journeyman widower aged 40 47 white st Glasgow Duncan Munro father winchman Dec mother Mary Munro ms Alexander Dec.  Matilda Mcaleese 33 spinster 47 white st Govan Glasgow( f)Charles McAleese commercial traveller Dec mother Catherine McAleese ms DOCHERTY    Angus  Munro,Mary Ann Finlay witness

Looking for Charles McLease last seen 1891 census Jarrow'Hedworth'Monkton and Jarrow,Durham,England,male,head,born ABT 1863 Ireland,spouse Catherine nuclease,children Matilda Mclease,Robert mclease.       So Charles was married to Catherine maiden name also Mcleese which I can't find either on free BDM,Scot landspeople,ire genealogy,family search or ancestry  Matilda was born ireland abt 1881 and aged 10 on census Robert was 5  and born ABT 1886 he was also known as Robert John Nuclease. He married Jane Melrose 1915 where it was stated that his father Charles was deceased His mother Catherine still alive.She apparently want on to marry a William Johnston as she died Govan Glasgow March 17 1940 can't quite make out if She was also stated as a Widow then for William or if he was still alive She was buried as Johnstone. Robert john was witness as soon.He died  1940 Govan just after his mother.I have looked at  many other census but no luck also all types of spellings of Nuclease. what I did find was a passenger list which sounds like Catherine.  1893 ship Colander bound Colombo Madras Calcutta 30th January. Mrs Lady Mcleece33,master 8,miss9 was she going over there to meet Charles, did he die over by there and she met William and married him there .can't find death of   Charles   or marriage of Catherine& William Matilda has also  been unable to be found if Charles was on jail would that have come up in the 1901thanks lnr

her father was Allen BORMAN He died in 1882 Dont know how they came to BOWMAN must have been a registrars mistake thanks lnr
