GLEN FAMILY ROTHESAY BUTE; AYRSHIRE:

Looking for  connections  for Glen family from Rothesay, Ayrshire.
 James Glen(1799) married-
Elizabeth Bannatyne/Williams/ Williamson? Born 1796-1803?
Children names- William 1831, James 1833, and Archibald 1835.

Also any information on
 
Archibald Glen 1835 married Janet Smith (Rothesay).One daughter Margaret Bruce Glen 1858.
Other children's names-Elizabeth Williamson Glen 1860, James Glen 1861 and possibly Archibald Glen 1864 (Kilfinan). Archibald Glen 1835 may have re-married an Augsta/Augusta Glen (1825-31?) born in Kilfinan.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have no more leads.

Best regards

Where have you looked? 
I see your first family at St Nimans Point in North Bute on Ancestry in 1851.

James sr was a fisherman born in Largs. His wife Elizabeth was born in Millport.

Archibald was born in Largs also and is also listed as a fisherman.

There's a tree on Ancestry with this family in too belonging to an Isobel Gilmour - any relation? If not, it might be worthwhile taking out a 14 day trial.

There were many other Glen families on Bute at the time too, undoubtedly some are related.

To help with future research, just wanted to point out that Rothesay is in Buteshire, not Ayrshire.

Good morning Ann

 Thanks for taking the time to look for me and replying. I was interested in Ancestry.com and have started a tree until Kym Glen. I was due to use the trial until I saw on the internet that they billed people after they cancelled the trial. I have been using Scotlands People and have downloaded the Censors along with other documents.

But my problem is on the birth cert. from Archibald Glens daughter (Margaret Bruce Glen1858) it shows the grandmothers maiden name as Bannatyne (also born Millport). But earlier the family at St Nimans Point, she has Williams or Williamson on the birth cert. from the kids. Now I'm unsure if this is the correct family? I also have Elizabeth aged 70 in the 1871 census living with the son Archibald Glen, but he has a new wife it seems and is now living in Ayrshire and not Rothesay any more.

I have Archibald Glen born 1835 having three children, Elizabeth Williamson Glen 1860, James Glen 1861 Shown as Illegitimate and Archibald Glen 1864. I found Archibald in Familysearch.org with Janet Glen as the mother, but no records in Scotlands people. But there I found an Archibald Glen 1865 with Archibald Glen 1835 and Agusta/Augusta Glen as the birth mother. I don't know if this is the same Archibald Glen 1835 from Rothesay and if he remarried and moved to Ayrshire. I didn't think was the done thing at this time.

Elizabeth carries the Grandmother maiden name Williamson which make sense, but why has Elizabeth Williamson written Bannatyne on the granddaughter's born cert?

I would be gratefully with any help Ann or input, as I've spend hours on end looking and found no clear answer. We're going to Scotland in a few months for the first time and I was hoping to have it sorted a bit more by then.

Thanks and best regards

Many thanks Sharon, as I had not found the two older sisters.

But my problem is on the birth cert. from Archibald Glens daughter (Margaret Bruce Glen1858) it shows the grandmothers maiden name as Bannatyne (also born Millport). But earlier the family at St Nimans Point, she has Williams or Williamson on the birth cert. from the kids. Now I'm unsure if this is the correct family? I also have Elizabeth aged 70 in the 1871 census living with the son Archibald Glen, but he has a new wife it seems and is now living in Ayrshire and not Rothesay any more.

Why would this have been written as Bannatyne if her maiden name was Williamson as this is what the fact point to. Its great that people are so willing to help as I thought it would take weeks to get a answer if at all.

Thanks heaps Sharon
Best wishes

There is a marriage for an Archibald Glen to Augusta Charlotte Mclean in 1868, Kilfinan on SP. My credits have just run out so you will have to check to see who his parent's were.

Kym, do you mean the grandmother registered the birth?

Her husband may have died and she remarried a man called Bannatyne

Also, Archibalds 1st wife may have died and he remarried Augusta McLean

His death certificate may confirm this
