Argyllshire / Re: Angus Leitch relatives Islay

I did manage to find the marriage of Isabella Leitch to John McLellan which was in 1840 in Paisley but couldnt see her baptism record.

So i will take a look and see what other Leitches are in the 1841 Paisley census and see if I can make any more connections.

Thanks.

The Christian Gillespie Leitch name on Isabellas death certificate means that there is a definite link to John Leitch who was her brother. So I imagine that there will be other children but that the records maybe not on ScotlandsPeople.

At least got some more information to look at now

Thanks everyone far for all the information so far.

I had a quick look on Scotland's people and couldn't find a marriage for John Leitch to Christian Gillespie or any birth records.  However I found a death on family search for an Isabella McLellan who's parents were John Leitch and Christian Gillespie Leitch and it looks from census records like she was born around 1816 and then had moved to Glasgow to live with her 'husband' John McLellan who was also born in Islay as I can't find their marriage record either. 

But maybe that's why Angus moved to Glasgow as Isabella McLellan stayed in Norfolk street in Laurieston in 1851 and Angus lived in South Coburg Street round the corner working for a family from Islay.

So lots of questions as well as answers...

There a lot of information on the Huguenot society website about it. My Huguenots went to Lausanne but I also think maybe also London as there were a few Valets on the registers there.

I think it wasnt like poor house poor relief but from funds and public appeals that had been set up specifically for the huguenots.

Argyllshire / Angus Leitch relatives Islay
« on: Sunday 28 December 25 15:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hi.  I have recently found out after years of researching that my great great grandfather was Angus Leitch born 1831 in Kilmeny or Kilchoan whose parents I believe to be John Leitch and Elizabeth McAulay. 

My great great grandmother was Jane Butcher and she had many illigitimate children including Angus Leitch Butcher born 1852 my great grandfather was the son of Angus Leitch.

Angus leitch then went on to have an illigitimate child James in 1853 with Flora Campbell Anderson and married her in 1854.

It looks like the Leitch side moved between Islay and Paisley and Glasgow and that maybe Angus Leitch was a bit transient as appears in a few census at the same time and not always with his wife.

I would be interested to see if anyone had any more information or were related as they may not know that there is other family out there.

Usually in the copyright statement it says that information can be used for personal study etc. The main thing usually is that the information is not used commercially and thats where you would need to apply for copyright and cite the source. So there would be no issue what the person has done.

Have you got Margaret Murrays actual death certificate as that may confirm its the right one as should have who she married to, if he is deceased.  If she was in Saltcoats then maybe she was living with one of her children or on holiday.
