Hi Margaret Our William DALGARNO/DALGARDEN was married in 1796 so I guess he was born between about 1760 and 1778. The only candidate on Family search was christened in Slains on 16 April 1769, Father John, mother not named. He "may" be our one but I have no way of telling. I have gone through the process of trying to find this William on Census records and the only one around is aged 70 in 1841 living with a Bell BADENOCH who may be his mother-in-law as she is aged 85. This William appears to be one of seven children born in 1761-72 to John DALGARDNO, none of whom had a mother named. There is an earlier family in Slains [1734-1745] with a mother named once as Barbara WALLACE. She married a John DALGARNO in 1733 which is far too early for the John who had children two decades later. So our William DALGARNO isn't easy to trace and I have to confess that we gave up looking for him some 6-7 years ago. I just keep a watching brief for this and other equally untraceable names. Thanks for your interest, folks. Sorry we don't seem to be able to resolve these issues.

I have no interest in this last name, but I do recall viewing a film from the Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake on one of the OPR films and seeing the last name of Dalgarno/Delgarno and thinking to myself, "how did an Italian end up in the North of Scotland?", and having a bit of a chuckle to myself. It seemed to me that it should be an Italian name I can't add any more to this thread, unless a Dalgarno was a witness to one of my Innes or McGregor folks and for the life of me I can't come up with where I saw it either. Going thru my paperwork here. I was just on the LDS site and there are in excess of some 2.000 Dalgarno's on it. Sorry to interrupt, just trying to help out here.
