Sorry, I meant the John Turner who married Agnes McFarlane in 1858 in Luss that Ann posted. Was he related to your Turners or was that just a co-incidence?

It may be worth remembering that The Glasgow Poor Relief records have survived. They are held in The Mitchell Library and are indexed. Just thinking that Duncan Senior was quite old when he was living in Glasgow and may have applied for relief if he required medical treatment.

yes it was a co-incidence on that Marriage of John Turner and Agnes Macfarlane 1858 and no relative of mine as my Turners came from Salen.

Linda re the Male Christian name.. Parlane or "Parlan" is Gaelic for Bartholomew ... Arrocher is the Historical Seat of the Clan McFarlane...The ancestor of the clan was Gilchrist, brother of Maldowen, the third Earl of Lennox. Gilchrist's grandson was Bartholomew, which in Gaelic is Parlan, from whom the clan are designed—the letters " Ph " in MacPhàrlain sounding like F in Gaelic. Note that Mac or Mhic translates to " Son of " Making the full anglicised translation of MacFarlane " Son of Bartholomew ".
