Notes - The name of John Gow's first wife is not known. No birth records for his other children have been found, however census records confirm their relationships.
The only son for whom we have a confirmed birth record is James. However James had already left home prior to 1841 thus we lack census confirmation that James is a son of the same John as his half-siblings shown here. However, census records show son James' place of birth as being Kirkintilloch, Dumbartonshire where this John and his confirmed descendants resided and where they were the only Gow family to reside there. Further support can be found occupationally, in that all of John Gould Gow's sons were employed as Cotton Handloom Weavers. Thus I have great confidence in the arrangement shown here, but it is not proven.
James is the only son listed in the IGI for John Gow and Jean Buchanan and their marriage is shown as 1824, thus making Jean a second wife to John Gould Gow.
In 1851 John had his 9 year old grandson, John Lang, residing with him. John Lang's parents have note been identified.
Note: Ancestry.com has mistranscribed the family as "Gaw" in 1861 and "Fow" in 1871.
