McGilvrays in scotland

[Mazzjk]

To seeya - can't seem to reply to your topic on McGilvrays in scotland but I have information on the McGilvrays - they are part of my tree. Ewan McGilvray Snr died 1 July 1905 he married Agnes Johnstone Rowan 30 June 1871.  Some of the info you seem to have doesn't exactly jive with mine but would love to get in contact with you and sort it out.  I have tons of info on McGilvrays.

Hi Marion - just spotted your message on McGilvrays in Scotland.

Hi there,

Unfortunately I don't have info on the Paisley McGilvrays only the Lanarkshire ones.  There is a web site here:http://web.ncf.ca/cv297/scotcivil/scotcivil.htm which a gentleman has put together which gives all kinds of information on the McGilvrays in scotland including the ones in Paisley.

Kind Regards
Marion

My cousin Roy McGilvray has compiled a lot of info on the McGilvray Clan.
In her post, Marion gives his web address for civil info but the home page with x-refing can be found at web.ncf.ca/cv297/mcg-clan.html.
He has a wealth of information gathered during many research trips to Scotland. His email address is shown on the above site if you wish to contact him directly.

I have McGilvray connections too.

My fathers mother was Alice Jane Clements McGilvray b. 26 Aug 1904 daughter of Thomas McGilvray and Sarah Alice Nugent m. 30 Jan 1903

Thomas father was Charles McGilvray b. circa 1855? who was married on 31 Mar 1876 to Sarah Ross

Charles was a Blacksmith and his father also Charles was married to a Janet Campbell date unknown.

Thats as much info I currently have on that line of the family. Hope it helps.

Where have you confirmed Charles' mother as a Campbell. From what I am seeing on entries, her surname was BOWIE...

Hi Monica

Thank you for that information.

I should have mentioned that Charles (Snr) was also listed on his son Charles 1876 wedding cert. as Blacksmith and that Janet was deceased by this time (1876). I would need to look at the 1871 census before I could be sure that this is the correct family. Thanks again for your time and assistance.
