My wife's family line includes some DALGARNOs but we are having some difficulty determining which ones they are. Margret DALGARNO married Norman MELDRUM in Aberdeen St Nicholas on 4 August 1828. We know a lot about his ancestors and about a hundred descendants. However all we know about Margaret is that she was born in Aberdeen around 1805 and her parents were William DALGARDEN and Margaret RUNCIMAN, married in Old Machar on 13 November 1796. I have not been able to trace William DALGARDEN/DALGARNO's parents and wonder if you have any further information. Regards Ray Hennessy www.whatsinaname.net
