Hi Cathy
You should be able to find James McGowan in the 1851 on the Scotlands People site.
Best wishes
Lesley

Oh, OK -

Maybe contact SP then? Maybe they could send a photocopy of the page?
Best wishes

I'll get a transcription if you wish at one point - i'm not sure when though as,
through necessity, i'm having to cut down my Mitchell Library visits.
Jack
ps, if that's your family then they are probably as McGOUN in 1841.
And also an 1855 BC for one of their children - William.

Jack,
you've done it again!
He married Marion 1847. Do you possibly have an address?
Thanks again.
