ancestors from Girvan - Galloway/Barrons

[harden]

Any help would be appreciated, John Wesley Barrons m. Elizabeth Galloway, 28/2/1845 in Glasgow. Trying to trace Elizabeth, with no luck, Does anyone know.

According to the 1851 census she was born at Ireland -

John Barron 28
Elizabeth Barron 26 born Ireland
James Galloway 64 Father in Law born Ireland

You'll find the Galloway family in 1841 at FREECEN.

Thanks for quick reply, been trying for a few years to trace then. Which address was census record from please. I can't read the address from the marriage certificate of Mary in 1864. First time I've used this site and what a result!

In 1851 they were at Struthers Street, Calton, Glasgow.

If you look at the birth of Jane in 1855 it should tell you exactly where in Ireland Elizabeth was born (although I'm finding it difficult to find it at SP for the moment).

JANE BARNS

15 MAR 1855 Calton, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

Parents:
Father: JOHN BARNS
Family
Mother: ELIZABETH GALLOWAY

Do you mean the birth entry for Mary in 1864? If so the census won't help as Mary was born at Girvan.

You're quite right, I think I've had enough excitement for one day - a large glass of wine beckons! Many thanks, no doubt I'll be in touch again for your valued help. Are you related to this family (on my mothers' side), Mary born 1864 is my great grandmother. Regards Mae
