Family Lothian

[jooms]

Maurice Lothian was a solicitor in Edinburgh around the early 1900's. He was a cousin (?) to my great grandfather James Lothian who died Dublin.
Anyone has any information about him or the MacLellan (Uist) x Lothian connection?

Hi jooms

Welcome to Rootschat 

I don't know anything about him but I think this might be his death:

Maurice John Lothian, d. 15 January 1917, aged 67, single. 6 Blackford Avenue, Morningside. Parents - John Lothian, Solicitor, Supreme Courts, deceased and Marion MacEwen (possibly - bad writing), formerly Lothian, m.s. Macfie, deceased.

It should be possible for you to trace him back through the censuses to his birth circa 1850.

albert.a.smith age 7. b. glasgow. son.
i do not have access to the original image so cannot see if the smiths ages are correct though the eldest does'nt seem right
also i suppose they could have been living next door and been mistranscribed and have nothing to do with the mcewans.

I'm wondering about the McLellan link - maybe the father's mother

I think John must have died before 1855. All we know is that he and Marion were born Edinburgh. Can't find a definite birth for him though
