Hi

A bit stuck - and this is my second request for help albeit on another side of the family.

I have a Joseph McEwan (who sometimes later in life [census] calls himself John occassionally [also some of his children have been refrred to as McEwen. MC has him marrying in 1870 to elizabth Murray in greenock. I have his DC as being in Johnstone renfrew in 1920. His MC has his Dad as Charles McEwan and Mum as Mary Smith.

Can't find any birth intel on irish or scottish record - have tried wildcards on Scotland's people.

Also - unlike the rest of my Tree - there are limited reatives on GR - so i can't even get a leg up that way.

Any advice or help would as evr be appreciated.
