Renfrewshire / Re: Neilson family in Paisley
« on: Tuesday 25 September 18 08:38 BST (UK)  »
Hi Gillian, Jen

I think you are right - definitely not the same couple - I had a chat with my Aunt - (on my mum's side) who has a better memory for this than I have.

John Reid Neilson (my grandfather) was born in Renfrew 1901 and married Margaret MacPherson some time between the wars. My dad (another John Reid Neilson) was born just before the second world war. Grandfather was one of three Robert, Jean and John - I don't know their parents names unfortunately and Grandmother was from Irish stock.

so I was definitely barking up the wrong tree - but just how many Johns and Margarets could be couples?

thanks to both of you

Hi there

just seen this regarding John Neilson and Margaret Spence married in 1929 - these might be my grandparents on my dad's side. They lived between Paisley and Renfrew up until my grandfathers death in 1972

if it is John Reid Neilson married to Margaret Spence (who should have Irish family - MacPherson - as my dad used to visit them) we could be onto something.

I hope that helps
another John Neilson
