John Howden HELEY b c1862
« on: Monday 12 December 05 10:41 GMT (UK) »
Dear members,

Can anyone please assist with this query?

John Howden HELEY b c1862, parents unknown, emigrated to Australia before 1886 when he married.

As Howden appears to be a place within your County, I have posted this message.

Perhaps there could have been a marriage between HELEY and a HOWDEN about 1860.

Any snippet of information will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely

EDO

The second marriage and children to 1875 (when the online IGI extraction stopped) is as follows:

DONALD MC GREGOR / MARION HOWDEN
Marriage: 15 FEB 1867 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian

DONALD MC GREGOR - Birth: 26 OCT 1867 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian
MARION MC GREGOR - Birth: 26 MAR 1869 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian
ANDREW WEBSTER MC GREGOR - Birth: 28 AUG 1870 Edinburgh, Midlothian
DUNCAN MC GREGOR - Birth: 28 OCT 1872 Edinburgh, Midlothian

According to one of the messages above, there is no sign of young Donald in the 1871 census. Had he died young?
