Belated - you are wise

Christopher -

same advice as on George's thread -

send Heather a private message by clicking on her name at the top of one of her threads.

Hi Heather

Any links with McEwan to Glasgow or Greenock

Wow Fantastic - Thank you so much, really got a buzz reading these names.
I teach creative writing in Eastbourne and stress the importance of writing memoirs, I love tracing new members of my family, so thank you again. Heather

Just looking at the image of that marriage (Francis Joseph to Annie). I can't make out the residence (same for both) of the bride and groom but doesn't it seem as though they've put that as Francis John's surname as well??

EDIT: I think the address must be Lefevre Road

and if it's ancestors being sought ... please do say what information you are asking for ...

Hi Heather.
Can you say what you mean by 'any trace' - are you tracing backwards or forwards, for example.
Any idea of location?

Trying to find any trace of my ancestors Francis Joseph McEwan who married Annie Simmons. They had a daughter Ethel in 1896. Not having any luck can anyone help? Thank you.
