Thanks Debbie,   I had all of them except for the first child Mary.    I'll add the other individuals in the next few days and then get back to you.

Thanks again.   John

Debbie,   I think you are correct.   Niel McLure and Margaret were listed in the 1841 census ,  he was 50 and she was 30.  would put her birth at about 1811.  I recieved your file thru my e-mail but I was unable to open it.   I don't have microsoft 2000.  Is it possible to send the file some other way.? 

Could you list the first 10 children that you have for Niel's marriage to the fist Margaret McGillivary?  I only have 7 listed. 

 Thanks ---     John McClure

Hi Debbie in Vancouver.  

Great day when I found you in google yesterday.  I,ve been working on tracking my McClure's for over 15 years and
getting nowhere untill the last month or so.

My e-mail is  (*)  I would love to compare our records.

I have thought the second marriage of Niel and Margaret was actually the marriage of Niel the son of Niel and Margaret .  ?????

I have the genealogy software "Family Tree"  which will make it easier if you also have it to transfer files.  Look forward to recieving your info.  Send me your e- mail and I will also send what I have put together.

Cuz.  John  In Sunny Los Angeles

Hi Mo.     How does you'r William fit in to my Niel?  My g -grandfather Donald had a daughter Susanna , son George William , daughter Mary, daughter Isabella Jane (Jennie), and my grandfather John Edward who was called (Ed).  Donald's head stone lists his name as Daniel (Which he was referred to after his marriage) (Donald at the  time of his marriage)  but the head stone lists
Daniel W. which we have presumed stands for WILLIAM.  Yes this is a great site.  I've been looking for my scottish ancesters for over 15 years now.  Just recently was able to trace to Niel and Margaret.

Hi debbie,,   John Mcclure here from southern California.

I have tracked my Mclure's  to the 1841 census in Druinfern

they are

Niel Maclure or McLure
dob abt 1790 druinfern
married
Margarat Mcgilvray
dob abt 1790 druinfern

thru their son Donald
dob 5-18-1824 Druinfern

Donald and what I think are his two cousins Hugh MacLure or Mclure  and  Archibald immigrated on the ship Iowa arriving in New York under the name McClure -  on August 16,1850.  Donald went on to Indiana where he married my great grandmother Mary Meck.  we found both Hugh and Archibald living in Ontario Canada along with many other McLure's / Mcclure's.  would like to compare records with you.   

Regards   John Mcclure
