Renfrewshire / Census look-up 1891
« on: Sunday 30 July 06 18:28 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone check the 1891 census Greenock, Scotland?  I'm looking for James Gavan who lived at 10 or 15 (isn't clear) Shaw Street, Greenock in 1893?

Many thanks.

 ???Hi Gill,

I'm a beginner (only discovered the site yesterday) and not sure what I'm doing, but I've posted a new message on the beginners board referring to an enquiry you made in April 04, re Charles Gavan and Elizabeth Bonar - my great grandparents.  I am trying to find out where they were born in Ireland.  Wonder if you can help?

Many thanks.

Family History Beginners Board / Where born in Ireland?

Hi, this is my first post, only discovered the site yesterday, I suspect this subject has come up many times before, but I wonder if anyone can help me trace where my great grandparents were actually born in Ireland.

They are Charles Gavan and Elizabeth Bonar married in Greenock in 1876.  I discovered on the site yesterday that in the 1881 census for Greenock that their surname was spelt 'Garven'!  Hence why I could never find them!  This was a posting by a lady called 'gill' in April, 2004 - it was very exciting to at last find this information.  The place of birth is 'Ireland'.  Can someone advise me where to go next? Charles Gavan's (or Garven's) parents were Charles Gavan and Martha Boyle - on their marriage certificate so presume they moved to Greenock too.

It would be good to know who was enquiring about my grandparents in 2004 - it's likely we're related!

I've probably gone about this the wrong way, but thanks anyway for your help.
