James Mclaren Master Mariner of Montrose

[rentaship]

My Great Grandmother, Isabella Hutcheon Mclaren was born in Montrose and moved to to the Barrington, Northumberland area at a later age. Whilst I have the more recent family history on her I do not know much prior to then. Her birth certificate states that she was born at 77 Castle Street, Montrose on the 12th September 1867. Daughter of James Mclaren, Shipmaster and Isabella Milne or Mclaren his wife.  Other than that i have no further information. Can anyone help?

Hi

That is the reference for the census entry - ED = Enumeration District

Can't find them on the 1871 at the moment

[CaroleW]

I am posting details of the children listed on the IGI in case anybody else can find them.  There is the possibility that one or more of the children died in infancy

All surname McLaren and all b Montrose

James Milne 1859
John b 1862
George b 1864
Isabella Hutcheon b 1867
Jemima Milne b 1873

Well George was still alive in 1881 - aged 17 and a seaman on a ship docked in Wick

and moved to to the Barrington, Northumberland area at a later age. Whilst I have the more recent family history on her 

Was this after her marriage or before?

I do not know when my great grandmother, Isabella Hutcheon Mclaren, moved to Barrington. She married a James Foster at some stage and they had three children, Jack - no details, Isablella, and Jemima(my grandmother born 8th February 1895 at 8, Chapel Row, Barrington).
