Lanarkshire / Re: Alice & Daniel mcmillan
« on: Thursday 30 May 24 16:22 BST (UK) »Hugh McMillan and Christn Fergusson had a son John baptised in Balquhidder in 1839.
In 1841 in Strathyre, parish of Balquhidder, are
Widow Ferguson, 60: Chirstan Ferguson, 25; John Fergsuon, 20; John McMillan, 1.
in 1851, at 39 West End, Callander, are Hugh McMillan, 37, born Strontian, Argyll; Wife Christian, 33, born Comrie, Perthshire; John, 10 and Duncan, 6, both born in Balquhidder; and Daniel, 3 and Mary 1, both born Callander.
So Daniel was born in 1847/1848 in Callander, Perthshire.
In the 1861 census, at 43 Main St, Callandar are Hugh McMillan, 47; wife Christian 45, grandmother Christian Ferguson, 85; Donald (not Daniel), 13 and Mary, 11.
I will check the 1851 census, but it's probably Donald, not Daniel, age 3. If Daniel had been born in 1847/48 he'd have been 37 or 38 when married in 1885, not 33 as recorded (which could have been wrong of course) and 41 or 42 when he died at sea.
