Hi Sandra,

Yes, that is any descendants of Isabella out of the picture. Which leaves us with 4 children to pursue. I have been looking at them and will post my findings. The unfortunate thing is, as you will already be aware of, is a follows - Not available online - Births less than 100 years, Marriages less than 75 years and Deaths less than 50 years.

The next Child of James Greenan is James Greenan born 3/2/1907. He married Annie Cairns on 4/4/1936 and died on 17/12/1950 at 24 Pipe Street, Portobello, Edinburgh.  His death was registered by his widow Annie. Annie died in 1998 so no way of knowing who registered her death. There are a number of possible children of this marriage in the SP Index but no way of knowing who they were.

Very good findings. Thank you for your help.
Sorry a little tied up at mo but believe there was a son born 3 Feb 1937 Portobella Edinburgh (same name as father) Annie may have been Annie Banks Cairns.

Thank You
Sandra

A James Greenan, possibly of Portobello, died in Cheshire in 2011, aged 73. There was a death notice in Scotsman, but Legacy no longer provide access, so can't see full details.

Ok, there is a tree on Ancestry for above James and parents were James and Annie, . He was born Portobello in 1937.
Looks to have had at least one daughter. I have sent owner a message with link to this thread.

Thank you for your input.  I see the tree thinks James was born in Portobella Yorkshire   :-\
