....and this is even stranger - Jospehs son Hugh (who is my gg grandpa) is called Hugh McDonald McEwan. Here we see his sister Theresa called McDonald - with two kids. So clearly there must have been an affinity for this McDonald chap as the brother of the new Mrs Mcdonald naemd his son after him

Cool - now to find other on GR who may have looked for them - but am not hopeful

Thanks to you all - i have made more progress in the last 48 hours than i have in 48 months

Charles McEwan died 1857 Greenock.

Mary McEwan nee Smith death should be in Scotlandspeople.

Ellen

Ahh, - I see that Mary was a Draper on 1861 which makes the 'Fent dealer' for 1851 look about right !

Draper - Dealer in fabrics and sewing goods - in use today. From the French "drap-de-Berry", a woollen cloth coming from Berry in France

Re the occup[ation - 'Fenk dealer'

The Scottish census are very badly transcribed on Ancestry and you cannot check the image.

Images are available, I think, pay to view on ScotlandsPeople.

I have found this which 'may' be what it is meant to be on the Old Occupations site:

'Fent Dealer' Dealer in "Fents" - cloth remnants, ends of bolts of cloth etc

This would seem to be more appropriate perhaps??

Strange - Mary Mcewan still living at home

MAary 's death should be found in Scotland's people,and i think she may have claimed poor relief.

Ellen

No children born after 1855 to Charles and Mary.If Charles died before 1855 then a poor relief record may help.Mitchell Library,Glasgow will do a seach if you can't visit.Fee involved.

Ellen

Joseph was born before Civil registration started in Scotland but the births of the older children should be on scotlandspeople and one of their birth certs will give you when and where Charles and Mary married.

As you have Charles in the Cesus you should be able to find a death in Scotlandspeople.

Hi All

Any idea what a fenk dealer would be - Google has it as something to do with whale blubber.
