Paul, How does this grab you? The Jean (10) living with Duncan in the 1851 Census was a neice born in Glasgow. A Jean was born to Gilbert McAulay & Jean McDermid in Glasgow on 1/4/1840. Gilbert (a wright) & Jean were married in Glasgow on 7/9/1832 by the Gaelic Minister of the Gorbals (suggesting, to me, that they came from the Islands). In the 1841 Census there is a family Gilbert a 40 year old wright, Jean at 30, Elizabeth 3 & Jean 1 living in Brownfields Parish. Elizabeth was born in Glasgow on 11/5/1836. As yet, cannot find the family in the 1851 Census. In the 1851 Census I have an Angus McAulay, with a 13 year old neice Elizabeth, born in Glasgow, living with him. So could these two neices be the children of Gilbert & Jean, each living with one of their Father's brothers???? I have Angus being born at Laggan, Islay around 1799 (based on age at death on 2/4/1888), although he was married in Kilchoman and his children were born in both Kilchoman & Portnahaven. Angus' known children were Gilbert, John, Duncan, Donald & Alexander. Angus' parents were John McAulay & Ann Shaw.What do you think?? Regards Mike
