ScotlandsPeople only shows four Margaret Jones born in Ayrshire 1839-1850.

None of their fathers is named Rowland or similar.


Twelve in the whole of Scotland in that time frame - no fathers called Rowland.

I think these are the births of some of their children. Can't find Thomas or William but all the rest seem to fit. Surely too much of a coincidence? Mother's MS is Ferguson though?

EDIT Sorry greyghost I see you're thinking along the same lines as me.

The Richard Turner in the marriage record would have been born c1836 if he was being truthful.

greyghost

greyghost Report 22 Jul 2018 23:34

The 1871/81/91 census as posted show Richard Turner to be born c 1843 in Barton

However, the marriage record shows him as aged 28 in 1864 so born c 1835/6

Is this him?
