Alexander Barron

[MonicaL]

Hi Whitney

From Alexander and Jennete's parish marriage entry at Christ Church, Watney Street, Tower Hamlets in 1865, Alexander is down as aged 38, a bachelor and shipwright by occupation. Father William, an engineer. Jennette's is showing as aged 20, spinster, father David, a printer by trade.

Son, Alexander's birth entry shows on IGI:

ALEXANDER MITCHELL BARRAN Birth: 26 MAR 1871 Springburn, Lanark
Parents: ALEXANDER BARRAN    and JEANNETT SCHRIER

Given the census in 1871 was on the night of 2 April that year, you would think mother and children would have been nearby a few days later for the census...

The name Ellen b. 1858 for the Kynochs would make perfect sense, except the transcription has her as a son and a coach builder by trade  Might be a shortened version of son William b. 1856 perhaps on the 1881 entry?

Where is this 1881 census entry for father Alexander with brother James?

This looks to be sister Elizabeth's marriage in the Old Parish Registers:

ELIZABETH BARRON and JOHN KYNOCH Marriage: 27 APR 1838 Old Machar, Aberdeen

Their 1851 entry:

John Kynoch 29, Tovesman (?spl) Flax Mill b. Aberdeen, Aberdeensh
Eliza Kynoch 29 b. Aberdeen, Aberdeensh
John Kynoch 10 b. Aberdeen, Aberdeensh
Mary Kynoch 2 b. Aberdeen, Aberdeensh
James Ankettell 26, visitor

Address: 2 Thrushgrove St, Glasgow

Thank you sooo much for the information about Alex and Jeanette's marriage! And Elizabeth and John's. I think I might be able to get somewhere with a William Barron, who had at least three children: Alexander, James, and Elizabeth. However did you find that? Like I said, I'm new at this research, and I've been relying on my Google search engine, family members, and websites like this one that have been very useful, but I don't think I would be able to find that anywhere!

Also, the thing about Ellen/Nell. She's the right age to be Nell. I have no idea why she would be listed as a son, or have the occupation of coachbuilder, though. That does rather speak to it being someone else. Maybe it was William, i just don't know.

This looks to be brother James and wife Mary in 1871 in Jarrow, Durham:

James Barlow 41, ship carpenter, b. Scotland
Mary McDermond Barlow 41 b. Scotland
George Barlow 12 son b. Scotland
John Fraser 41, lodger

RG10; Piece: 5042; Folio: 14; Page: 23 - there has been a correction added by someone to show that the surname should be Barron.

This looks to be the marriage on IGI:

JAMES BARRON and MARY MCDERMENT
Marriage: 26 DEC 1856 Old Machar, Aberdeen

Hope it is the right marriage - this is now in the period post the start of official registration. The marriage cert is available to view on line at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and should include full names on parents, including mothers' maiden names.
