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

No, sorry I got it wrong. It on the marriage cert from Archibald Glen to Janet Smith. It states the mothers maiden name a Bannatyne and show her present name a Glen. The husband is deceased. I've looked for the death cert. but without luck. I was thinking maybe he was lost at sea. I'll have to try again as I was thinking he was born 1799, as theres another Glen family with the children with the same names and a Archibald 1835.  It get hard when everyone has the same names more or less.

Thanks Kym

The LDS site has Augusta Charlotte Matilda Mclean

on 31 Dec 1867 at Kilfinan,Argyll,Scotland.

They also have a birth record for her on 28 Aug 1820  at KILFINAN,ARGYLL,SCOTLAND
parents names Hector Maclean, Georgina Lamont

Well you have been busy Ann. I am new at this and have trouble getting my head around the facts. Thanks for your information on Augusta. I've the census for 1871 showing that Archibald and her are living together.
 That shows that she is 40 years old which means she would have been born in 1831, but now your information says she was born in 1820. So shes saying shes 11years younger than she truly is.  She must have looked young and married two years after having a baby (Archibald 1865), or maybe the baby was from Archibalds first wife. She was ahead of her time like younger men. 15 years younger.
 Any ideas??

Many thanks and look forward to your reply.

Ann I forgot to ask , what is this LDS site?

Thanks Kym

I think you'll find the ages given in the census's are rarely accurate. You could probably go plus or minus 5-10 or so years and hit on someone you know to have been a certain age at a certain time. Not everyone knew exactly how old they were, and it certainly looks like that was the case here.

The LDS site is short for the Latter Day Saints site - otherwise known as Family Search, which I know you've already discovered.  You probably just needed to play around with the information you already had when you were searching - don't always put too much information in to the search boxes, sometimes less is best. I found those simply by putting her name in, no dates or places etc. It's also a pretty unusual name, so the chances of hitting more than one with it were relatively slim.

By the way, if you put Hector and Georgina in, you'll find a whole load of children for them.

Thanks Ann

 I guess I'm must be a bit most open minded with this.

Cheers Kym
