Hi

The only McFarlane mentioned around this time is:

Samuel McFarlane, baptised in St Helier 16th Dec 1804, son of Francis and Margaret McFarlane. God-parents were Edward Sea, William Sharpe and Elizabeth Le Cras.

I looked back for a marriage of Francis and Elizabeth but couldn't see one which suggest they were married elsewhere.

Stewart

do we know if these god parents are any relation to either Francis or Margaret ?

[toni*]

the oldest Elizabeth Le Cras i can see on the 1841 channel isalnd census is born circa 1811 (+/- 4 years)  St Helier so obviously not her as she cannot be a god parent beforeshe was bon and also she is presumably married (relationships are not given in 1841)  to a James Le Cras, so Le Cras would not be her maiden name.

What are the Scottish naming patterns? .... If Samuel's first son was named Francis (1826) it may fit with the baptism of Samuel s/o Francis. ie: Sam named his son after his dad.

will search for more.

Going back to what we have:

1841
Lancashire, Liverpool
Cookson Street
Ann McFarland (sic)  38, yes
Lawrence 13, yes ...where is his christening? and where does he dissappear to?
Samuel 11 .... christened 2 May 1830, born 25 May 1828, Chesterfield
Catherine 11....christened 2 May 1830, born 8 Apr 1830 ditto
George C 2, yes

Samuel and Catherine christened the same date , birth days different! Same age on 1841 

Where is Francis b 1826?

I've found a Samuel but he's born in Liverpool circa 1829... maybe Samuel thought he was b Liverpool as he had lived there for a while.

In 1851
Ecclesall Bierlow
64 back Lane?

Wm South , head, mar, 52, edge tool maker?, b ?? Yorks
Sar, wife, 50, Shefd …Sheffield?
Josp, son, unm, 26, edge tool striker b ditto
SAML MacFarlane, son-in-law, widr, 22, French polisher and app. B LIVERPOOL

Samuel M = Mary Ann South in 1848 Ecclesfield Barlow
vol 22 pg  83

So Samuel snr is b 1806ish, Jersey ...ends up having sons Francis (1826) and Lawrence (1828) b Liverpool, moves to Chesterfield has three more children Samuel (1828), Catherine(1830) and Jane (b and d 1832), then moves back to Liverpool and has George (1839)  and Charlotte (1843).

But how can he have Lawrence and Samuel in the same year ? It's possible I suppose unless Lawrence's age is off in the 1841.


Chrissy ...do you have Ann's maiden name?

I wonder what George's middle initial "C" stand's for.
