Many thanks to you all.

Re the "S" in Colin S McLeod - probably a mistranscription (old fashioned T could look S to a modern transcriber) but I can't check the image to verify.

Got to go to bed now, work in the morning. Goodnite.

Erin,
Who are these related to ?

Add this to the mix..dont even know if I sent it already...!!!!

McLeod Colin aged 34years husband of Elizabeth Campbell 4 Ann St. died 26July 1890 following an accident in Berryyard's Refinery.

McLeods were also living at 71 Ann Street 1896...That was Donald McLeod.

Erin, you don't have time for fish and chips, we have to sort this mixed up family out. No wonder I'm confused, they all have the same names. Lol

Oh Sandra...No... Auley was the husband and married to Ann they also had a son Auley...You have the Heart across me so you have...!!
Just been next door looking at the Spanish -American War...where do you get this from...!!!!

I was trying to get my fish and chips...!

Erin,
I knew you wouldn't be able to resist. Lol
I'm confused (again) I thought Barbara was Aulays sister?

Potty,

Potty,
Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to hearing from you later.

I think that must be the same Margaret Letson that I found in the census. The address on the marriage cert is the same as the 1881 and 1891 census - 34 Crescent Street and her father's occupation is the same. Her mother's maiden name is Jamieson on the cert, though but that is the only difference.

This is the baptism of her sister Elizabeth:

ELIZABETH LETSON Pedigree
Father: JAMES LETSON Family
Mother: ANNA JOHNSTON


I have found some info about the Colin Mcleod on that cert.

Sorry, but I have to go out now for a couple of hours - I will post the Colin info later.
