Moray (Elginshire) / Re: Alexander Roy, Grace Roy, Moray/Banff or further afar

Lorna,

I should add that Alexander ROY is living with his mother Ann EWEN and Grandfather Alexander EWEN in Portsoy, Banffshire in 1841 and 1851 - no Hugh living there with them in either census. In 1851, Ann is recorded as married to a farm servant who presumably lived elsewhere, but since she is using her maiden name EWEN, I don't know if she and Hugh MCELROY are still married or if he is deceased.
Thanks again,
Lori

Hi Lorna,

In regards to "McElroy to Roy":  I believe my ancestor was Alexander ROY born 1833 in Boyndie, Banffshire. His parents were Hugh MCELROY/MEIKLEROY and Ann EWEN (married in 1832). If I'm correct, Alexander became a wood joiner and is found on the 1861 through 1901 Lanarkshire census near and within Glasgow. He married Mary REID of Eaglesham, Renfrewshire.

Did you by chance come across this Hugh McElroy? I am still trying to pin him down and would  greatly appreciate any leads.

Thanks, Lori
