Thank you very much for that great information. Im not positive if vincent is correct as that is a long time after my grandfather left jamaica, and i believe Vincent ended up living in manchester not london.

As for the other siblings, all i know is that at some point i had family in florida, and new york.

Thanks for all your hard work, i know there was not alot to go on with the siblings.

Any idea how i can find out when my great grandparents moved to Jamaica from Scotland (only have great grandfathers name) and also how to get hold of my granddads birth info as Im struggling to find his mothers name.

Thank you again

Katie

Hello, I have recently started looking up my mothers side of my family as a birthday present to her. She has tried many times in the past, but has always come to a dead end as my Grandfather was born in Jamaica.

The information i have so far:

My mother was born Anne Rosemary McLennan in London on 21/10/1952 to John Constantine McLennan and Maria May Ward (Bord Elsie May Ward) who were married on 12/07/1940.

Elsie May Ward was born on 15/01/1912 in Islington, North London to Harry Ward (no other information) and her mother who is still unknown (although the birth record on here shows her mothers maiden surname also to be ward). She died 15/02/1983.

John McLennan was born 19/11/1911 in Kingston, Jamaica to William McLennan (Believed to have been born in Scotland), mother unknown. He had three brothers Donald, Vincent, and Michael (Half brother), and two sisters; Olive and Marjorie. At the age of 18 he left Jamaica to come to england (c1929) as did his brother, Vincent. Donald, Olive & Michael moved to America and Marjorie moved to Canada. John McLennan died 1992.

Any help and information to find out more would be much appreciated.
