Lamont's from Scotland

Elaine,
What is the difference between Greenock and Renfrewshire.
My great uncle on his army records put his birth place as Greenock Renfrewshire Scotland, was that right.

Greenock is one of the towns that makes up Renfrewshire

Hi Elaine,
 I have just been looking at all of  my posts here and i missed the one where you looked up John Lamont birth and found second names.
 Could you please tell me about  the one in Renfrewshire 1885.
I want to thank you and Hume have both been a  great help.

Hi Chezz

You have said who Elizabeth's parents were, from her marriage and death certs, but you haven't said who John Lamont's parents were. Hopefully John can be found on the censuses for 1891/1901 with family to help you then be more certain about his birth and know where to look for this certificate.

From the information you have on Elizabeth, and her age in 1909 at marriage of 19, this looks a possible entry for her in the 1891 census - everyone showing as born in Greenock:

John McGuire 41, Ship Yard Labourer
Margt McGuire 40
Ann McGuire 4
Elizth McGuire 1

Address: 59 Dalrymple St, Greenock

Not easily seeing them as yet on the 1901 census index
