Hi Firthview.  i too decend from Oliver McAleese and Elizabeth Campbell.  They were my GGG grandparents.  I come from the line of their son John (B Jan 31, 1853) who is my GG grandfather.  I found Oliver's death certificate on scotland's people and i had them confirm that Oliver's father was listed as "Ewan McLeish".  I haven't been able to find anything on him, but it is a start.  The different spellings of the last name make things even more difficult. 

Hope this helps...
Ian

Hi firthview, i too am a decendant of Oliver McAleese/McLeish and his son John McLeish (1853).  my great grandfather was John's son Joe McLeish born in 1878..

Like you I am also trying to find information on Oliver's family while in Ireland.  I have dug up Oliver's death certificate from 1878 when he died at 57 years old.  I could not make out the father's name on the certificate so I contacted the website to have them transcribe it for me.  They confirmed that Oliver's father's name was listed as Ewan McLeish. 

I have had no luck digging up anything on him, but I thought I would pass it along to you.  maybe you will have better luck than I have.

take care,
Ian
