Hello everybody,

i have been going potty, round in circles trying to get that bit further back in my tree. The problem is i cannot make sense of who my ggggrandfathers wife was or if he married more than once.
my gggrandfather John Mckellar married margaret garven there is no mothers name on their marriage cert. John married again in 1876 and this time his mother is named as jean/jane ewan. johns dad was john mckellar farmer c1792.
john mckellar c1829 died in kirkmichael ayrshire aged 68 1897, no mother named on cert, unfortunatley i do not have a birth cert for john, who was born in west kilbride Ayrshire Scotland. (census info)

moving on to johns father, the only death for john mckellar i can
find that fits with dates is in lochwinnoch renfrewshire 1857 and buried in west kilbride ayrshire, listing him as married but not naming his wife.
The only death for jane/ jean mckellar i have found that fits my dates is that of jane mckellar m.s mcallister died 1857 lochwinnoch renfrewshire and also buried in west kilbride, she is listed as being a widow.
I have tried to search unsucessfully for any further info on jane/jean Ewan no birth or marriage records to be found.

have i taken a wrong turn somewhere or does all this maybe come together, was john mckellar c1792 married twice and what about jane ewan?

sorry this has been so long
i hope it all makes sense and fingers crossed someone will be able to help.
regards
arlene
