Hi Linda Lovely to hear from you again! Sorry for the delay in replying but have family problems. James Gillan Tough was my grandfather and Jeanie Kerr my grandmother so have some info on both of them - although less on Jeanie as she was the illegitimate daughter of Annie Kerr. (Annie later married William Wright ??? Jeanie's father). Do you have Jeanie's details? James was born in Alford, Aberdeenshire, to William Tough and Margaret Chapman. William was the illegitimate son of Charlotte Grassie of Gartly, Aberdeenshire, and "presumed" James Tough. I have more info on Charlotte Grassie. Please email me for further details.

It looks as though there was only a sheep ree (a stone fank or pen to enclose sheep) there by the time the OS people came to map the area in the 1850s. It is possible this is the remains of a former cottage on the hillside. See: http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/170549/details/daltangan burn/ A railway viaduct was built over the Daltangan burn (hill stream) in the mid 1870s. See: http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/282121/details/daltangan viaduct/ I had a look at the Statistical Account for the Parish of Colmonell dating from the 1790s. The minister describes a pattern of decreasing population in the previous 30 to 40 years due to changes in land holdings, agricultural practices and the increased availability of employment in towns. In particular he refers to a "dismission of herds and cottagers" (p65). Cottagers had a house and a yard and a small piece of land; apparently in Colmonell in the 1770s there was hardly a farm tenant who did not have a cottager on their farm. Old Statistical Account (1790s) for Colmonell http://stat-acc-scot.edina.ac.uk/link/1791-99/Ayrshire/Colmonell/ So it is possible Daltangan may have been a fairly small subsistence holding on a farm, rather than a farm in itself. I would suggest it provided a marginal living and it may have ceased to be a farm dwelling when better opportunities became available. And for your second question, I have no plans at present to publish my family research online. Happy hunting, Kay Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have used other trees when they are reliable. I am careful although there could be mistakes. I have gone pretty broad with the tree with Alexander Eccles and Marion McIlmorow having 437 descendants on the tree. It is difficult to find more current family because of the reasonable privacy factors around records. I would say its a basic sort of tree. You do not have to join Geni to view the tree, you do however need to be invited to join by being added to the tree, which means your line. You do not have to provide any details other than an email address for the invite. All living people are listed as private. I'm on Geni as my Grandfather was Estonian and we have thousands of Estonian relatives on Geni. He married Mary Eccles in Australia. Our tree connects to our Estonian, Scottish and Australian history. A number of Eccles emigrated to Australia at various stages, mainly to the east coast while we are on the west. regards Annette Collins Perth West Aust.

Many thanks. I now have Gilbert Eccles (died 1792) and Jean Mitchells dates of death which I didn't have before, and can link Margaret Baird and Gilbert Eccles also. By the way, I did find another birth for a Marrion McLmorrow on Family Search.org. She was Baptised on 20/7/1740 in Barr by Girvan Father James McLmorrow but I discounted her, as none of Alexander and Marion's children were called James.(However I know people married much younger then,though they would probably have had more children if she was only 15 at marriage). Do you happen to know where Daltnagan Farm was ? Perhaps the area was called Daltnagan? I could'nt find it on the map - of course it may be on an 18th/ 19th century map of Barrhill area. Also do you have a tree on line? I have not finished collating my records yet (still hunting for a couple of ancestors (Highland and Lowland!) and not yet ready to admit defeat! Once again many thanks. Regards Fionnuala Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hello Carol, Thank you for this. Since my Scottish family did seem to have a tendency to marry cousins it is possible that it is significant but my Syme (Margaret) - Templeton (James) marriage was a lot earlier - in 1781. It may be that the Templeton and Syme families kept in touch - who knows? Best wishes, Mary

Greetings Listers Alexander BRODIE (c1760-1827), Ship's Carpenter, in 1819 of Kyles Hill, Saltcoats in Ayrshire is my 4 x ggf. Over the years I've been researching my Scottish ancestors (just back on it after a break), I've been unable to locate the birth and/or baptism of Alexander BRODIE. I have 6 children for him - Ann (1784), James (1786), Mary (1788), Isabel (1793), George Erskine (1796) and Margaret 1798. If I've got it correct, his wife was Mary ms SMITH. Supposedly they married before 1784, giving him a birth year of around 1760, give or take a bit. I have a birth and baptism year of 1761 for May. Alexander died in Saltcoats in Ayrshire on 30 May 1827 and Mary on 29 Dec 1829 aged 68. I have no age for Alexander. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? There were two other BRODIE men in Saltcoats in the 1790s (Andrew & Robert) but an article on the Internet seems to point to Renfrewshire being their home county.

There were also a fair number of Brodies in Paisley at the time.
