Find Ancestors

Hi

I have five births below from Thomas McEwan and Bridget Semple (or Name Variants)

I suspect they are linked to Thomas McEwan and Bridget Semple (in my tree which I harvested from a Death Certificate - Charles McEwan 1857 dod) but can't find any digital records past the baptism details. It has been suggested that they may have gone overseas (I can't find any death records)

I wanted someone with international access to check names in the Americas and Australia to see if there were any hits (they may have some parent names in DC's)

Have you tried looking yourself on the familysearch site?

Possible death of Robert? [ NO - see ErikaH's post below.)

No age shown, so you'd have to see the image on Scotlands People (6 credits).

MCEWEN
ROBERT
M
Death date: 30/6/1821
Edinburgh, St Mary's Cathedral

The one posted by the OP was baptised in July

Oh yes, so he was

That's a Church of Scotland burial, whereas the baptisms are all RC.

May or may not matter, but casts doubt.

EDIT:
This was in response to a burial in 1833 at the High Church , Glasgow for an Arthur McEwen born c1807, posted by ErikaH and now deleted, per her post below..

I'm mentioning it for elimination purposes.

I've deleted. The record didn't specify a denomination

is this the record you found

As Charles was born in Ireland, chances are that his parents married there.

No record on irishgenealogy.ie, of either Charles's birth or his parents marriage.
