Hello,
Looking for parents of Andrew Kelly Welsh. Born in Alva or Alloa. I am guessing that he was born between 1880 and 1888. I base this only on the year that his son was born. Not very scientific, or all that accurate. I did find an Andrew Welsh in the 1881 Scottish census. He was born in 1876. His parents are listed as John Welsh and Kate Welsh. The census location was Alva, Stirlingshire. The address given on the census is 120 Brook Street. I really have no way of knowing if this is the right family.

Andrew married Jessie Fraser. Jessie I think was born in Alva, in about 1885. I found family with the parents names of James Fraser and Helen. They had 6 children born between the years of 1869 to 1885.

Jessie Fraser and Andrew Kelly Welsh had one child that I know of. He was Andrew Kelly Welsh, born about 1913 and died in 1995. He married Annie McGuckin who was born in 1918 and died in 2006. Annie McGuckin was the daughter of James McGuckin and Annie McGrellis.

Thank you for any ideas or suggestions in how to find out more about these families.

Some how this post rings loud bells and in order that other do not look and search.

Andrew Kelly Welsh was born 22 October 1874 to John Welsh/Catherine Nicholson m 26 July 1861. John Welsh was the son of James Welsh/Janet McDonald.

Andrew Kelly Welsh (28) married Jessie McLay Fraser (Widow) (24) 8th April 1904, The Manse, Alva
