PETER McLAUGHLIN and ELIZABETH FOULDS

The following was sent to me from Connie Johnson:
I am related to the above couple. My Great Grandfather was their son
(Michael Mclaughlin). There is a bit of information on them in a book
The Descendants of George Adams and Ann Heywood written by Verna
Redhead, June Kelly and Jackie Hobbs.
I don't know enough about this but this book has a chapter relating to
Elizabeth Fould's brother John Foulds Jr. He married Ann Nancy Adams
who was the eldest child of George Adams and Ann Heywood.

This is a little confusing as Michael McLaughlin, son of Peter
McLaughlin and Elizabeth Foulds married, my Great Grandmother, Mary
Jane Adams, who was the daughter of James Adams and Elizabeth Bruce, James Adams would have been Ann Nancy Adams' brother. Ann Nancy Adams would have been Mary Jane's Aunt.
I'm really confused. I think I have to do some more reading.
However, the three women above, may know more about Elizabeth Foulds.

Connie
Who were your McLAUGHLIN grandparents?

Michael McLaughlin was my great grandfather and he was married to Jane Mary "Jennie" Adams.

UPDATE: My father Keith Vancoughnett was the son of Phyllis Vancoughnett who was the daughter
of Michael McLaughlin and Mary Jane Adams. Michael was the son of
Peter McLaughlin and Elizabeth Foulds and Mary Jane Adams was the
daughter of James Adams and Elizabeth Bruce.

Michael McLAUGHLIN (your great-grandfather) had about 13 children. Which one was your grandparent (your mother or father's parent) ?

Thanks for that info Connie. It matches the information I have.

It's been so long since we were in touch, I've forgotten what your original query was all about. Was there some other information you were looking for?

I am related to the Foulds side and just sent you Gary S a private e mail with part of this tree which should help clear this confusion up. Allan
