McIndoe/Greenhill Barony Glasgow

[sam-ann]

I am trying to find the parents of Robert McIndoe and Helen Greenhill, although it is a long shot. All i know of them is Robert and Helen married 8 Oct 1820 at Barony Glasgow. They had a daug, Jane who married John Dobbie Aug 1854 at Barony, Glasgow. If i could be pointed in the right direction would be a help.
Thank you and fingers crossed.

Hi Sam

Have you checked early censuses for the family to see what info you can get from there? I think this might be them in 1841 - everyone showing as born in the county:

Robert Mcindoe 35, HLW (likely hand loom weaver)
Hellen Mcindoe 38
Elizabeth Mcindoe 18
William Mcindoe 16
John Mcindoe 7
Robert Mcindoe 5
Jean Mcindoe 3

Address: Bishop St, Barony Lanarkshire

For 1851:

Robert Mcindoe 59, Journeyman Hand Loom Weaver
Ellen Mcindoe 48 b. New Kilpatrick, Stirling
John Mcindoe 16
Robert Mcindoe 14
Jane Mcindoe 12
John Whyte 27,  lodger
Frances Robertson 17, lodger

Address: 60 North St, Barony

I think Helen at least made it past the start of official registration in 1855 as she shows on the 1861 census (as transcribed):

Elen Mcindoo 60 b. New Shyistrick (?spl), Stirlingshire
Robert Mcindoo 24
John Salkerk 24, lodger

Address: 20 School Wynd, Anderston, Glasgow Barony

There is a likely death entry showing for her on the official pay to view site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, indexed as Helen McIndoe/Greenhill. Her parents names should be included (if known to the informant).

Thank you Monica for your help, indeed it does look like my family here. there seems to be a great difference in Roberts age...I was hoping his age would give me a chance to find his birth but there seems to be quite a difference in this age on the 1841 cen to the 1851 cen.
Well i have the family now, thank you, trying to find the parents of Robert and Helen is my next step.

Thank you
Sam
