Notes about George Harrower

1. 1788 HARROWER, GEORGE (Old Parish Registers Births 466/ 0040 0241 Clackmannan)
Decr. 12th John Harrower, Workman in Sauchy & Agnes Callander had a son Bapt. George Law'll 14th.

2. Death in 1852 cannot be confirmed, as OPR - see Media.

3. Traditional naming patterns -
Scots often named children by following a simple set of rules:
1st son named after father's father - John Harrower
2nd son named after mother's father - Colin Macarthur
3rd son named after father - George Harrower. No, 3rd. Son was named James, the name George was given to the 5th. Son.
1st daughter named after mother's mother - Isabella Brown
2nd daughter named after father's mother - Agnes Callander
3rd daughter named after mother - Isobell McArthur. No 1st. Dau. was named Isobel, from the mothers Mother, Isabella Brown. Janet may be an Aunt b. 26 Nov. 1780, sister to George Harrower.

4. At date 21/06/12, see 2. above - Guess only - Traditional naming patterns ----- Georges parents have been recorded as John Harrower and Agnes Calender (also from Google search - various sites on Internet). No evidence apart from christian names taken from traditional naming patterns @ Scotlands People ie as close a family as can be found at the time. Info on Georges birth register.

5. George and Isobel have a Grandaughter living in house named Isabella. She is age 16, giving her a birth date of c. 1835. Her parents could be anyone, but as there is only one female daughter in the house, in the 1851 Census, Isabella, age 35, is likely that she is the mother. There is a birth of an Isobel Harrower in 1836 to David Harrower and Isobel Harrower. She has been added. No further issues are found from this couple! No marriage of this couple found in SP.

6. On 24 May 1852 Clackmannan Kirk Sessions show that a new Gravedigger was selected. He may be a replacement for George Harrower. https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/virtual-volumes/volume-images?image=257&source=way-pointing&volume=CH2/1242/9&volume_info=Clackmannan%20kirk%20session&volume_short_desc=Minutes%20%281832-1862%29%0D%0A&record_id=4561&rex_uid=REX01199&related_places=GAZ00358&placename=Clackmannan
