        Sorry didn't make it clear, (as usual), I wanted to know Mary's maiden name and possible date of marriage.
        Wendy P that looks like them. is there a site that I can use which is free to find others of his family in Govan, Glasgow? Ebenezers father was William 1817 and mother Elizabeth 1821 . Ebenezer's son was also Ebenezer plus Abraham, have seen it written with either name first, he was born in Govan but died in Wakefield Yorkshire. I think the latter married my relly Ann Blake born Rochdale 1883/4.
        thanks

              Census refs in case you need it:


              Cathcart; ED: 2; Line: 2; Year: 1861
              can't see him in other years.

                Hi Nell,Wendy and Jess, thanx for your help. I am still a bit confused.
                This is the info I have.
                Abram (Ebenezer) Govan 1880 married my relly Ann(ie)Blake 1883 in Lancsahire in 1908.
                they had: Margaret Ann 1912 Corley
                Leonard 1915-1915 Chorley
                Robert 1916 Wakefield
                Lucy 1918-1926 Wakefield
                Janet 1920- living Wakefield
                Nathaniel 1922- died aged 6 months
                Stanley 1924-1984 Wakefield
                I found him in Adlington,Chorley in 1891 with his parents Ebenezer 1847 and Mary 1847. Looking up the births for his children I found that Margaret and Lucy had the ma's maiden name down as Jolly??? yet my contact says they are all brothers and sisters of her Mum who is Janet 1920.
                Could Ebenenezer 1880 be a brother to Ebenezer born 1870 and maybe the latter died and they used the name again?
                On the 1891 census for Adlington,Chorley his birthplace is down as Govan, lancashire but on the census form it looks like Lanarkshire.
                Whose certificate would help me most to verify his being???
                Thanks Sunny Rosy

                  Playing about with Scotlands People again.... not enough credits to view anything though.

                  Found two Ebenezer Govan's born in Scotland...

                  One born 1870 in Cathcart, Renfrew just as Jess Said and the other....

                  born 1886 in Holytown, Lanarkshire.

                  I then discovered (more playing around) that in 1873 in Cathcart, Renfrew a 3year old boy named Ebenezer Govan died.

                  Did find an Abraham Govan born in Scotland but this was in Hutcheston, Lanark in 1855. Brilliant year though if he is one of yours.

                    Between 1855 and 1873 there were 6 male Govan's born in Govan Lanarkshire.

                    2 William's
                    2 John's
                    1 Alexander
                    1 David

                    .... I think I should get out more :D

                      Thanks Shaz, I am fairly sure that the answer is that the Ebenezer b1870 and died in 1873 , confirmed it and that another child was baptised Ebenezer Abraham or Abraham Ebenezer in 1880, he is on the 1891 census in England with Mum and Dad. As to the two different maiden names for the children , I reckon he had another lady stashed away somewhere.
                      thanks again. xx Rosy.
