Hi JAP

I followed your directions for searching the IGI and came up with 3 siblings for Janet.

Children of John McVey and Mary Gilmour

 MARY MCVEY- 28 SEP 1831 Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

WILLIAM STEWART MCVEY-27 AUG 1834-Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

MARY MCVEY -17 JUL 1837  Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

Going by the gap in dates, there are probably a few more.

With using the Naming Pattern being so successful I am going the same route for George Thomson's parents.
Looks like it could have been William Thomson I should have
been looking for instead of a George.


Thanks again for your help,
Tony
Thomson-Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire/Glasgow,Lanarkshire/
Old Kilpatrick, Dunbarton
McVey-Glasgow
Milroy-Kirkcowan(Wigtownshire)
Westland-Pinchbeck(Lincolnshire)
Henley-(Lancashire?)

Hi again Tony,

Glad to have been of help.

But I hope you noticed that William Stewart MC VEY was an LDS patron submission.  I haven't checked on ScotlandsPeople to see whether he appears there i.e. whether he is in the OPRs.

I did have a bit of a look round the IGI for George THOMSON's people but didn't find anything really convincing.

Let's hope you can find more clues in censuses on SP and death certificates on SP.

Regards,

JAP
