Posted on: Buteshire Scotland Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Bute/388 Surname: Boyle, Love, Robertson, Wilson ------------------------- Looking for information on William BOYLE (1790's)who was a ploughman at Barone Park Farm, outside of Rothesay. He was married to Martha LOVE (1790's). Their children were Thomas, William, Margaret. Thomas (b.1813) married Helen (Elen) ROBERTSON (b.1812). William (b.1824) married Agnes WILSON. Margaret (b.?) married John WILSON. They all immigrated to Ontario, Canada in 1842.
Posted on: Buteshire Scotland Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Bute/387 Surname: Flemming ------------------------- This is a response to the message above. My great-grandmother was Annie Flemming who was also from Rothesay. She came to Canada around 1912-1915 and lived in Toronto. Her husband's last name was Bailey, but they were divorced in 1920 or so. She had a brother named Donald Flemming, who died in WW1. I know that she had other brothers and at least one sister that moved to California. I also know that her parents are buried in Rothesay.

Posted on: Buteshire Scotland Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Bute/386 Surname: WHYTE, WHITE, CAMPBELL ------------------------- My husband's ggrandmother, Margaret Whyte, married a seaman, John Campbell, on 11 June 1869 in Rothesay. Their first born was Charles William Montague Scott Morison Campbell (yes that's right), born in 1871, their next was Margaret born in 1872 and then my husband's grandfather, Alexander, born in 1874. There were only these 3 children and they were born in Glasgow. I suspect that Margaret was born in Rothesay (there are a couple of possibilities) but am not sure yet where John Campbell was born. Anyone researching these names ?

Judi, Are there any HALL names associated with your CRAWFORDS? I have a very complicated collateral relationship involving Jane HALL CRAWFORD and Jane CRAWFORD HALL. Both married into my LINDSAY family. Jane CRAWFORD HALL married John McNAIR, from Ireland, in Victoria, Brunswick, Australia on 2 Dec 1867. Her father was Archibald HALL. John and Jane had several children, among them a James, an Agnes and a Maria, as well as a John, Jane and Archibald, named, I assume, for John McNAIR, Jane CRAWFORD HALL, and her father. There are 2 other names seemingly unrelated, naming pattern-wise: Alexander, Mary Ann STEVENSON (McNAIR) who died as infants in Australia. The McNAIRS moved back to Scotland by 1875. In the 1891 Census, a Lizzie THOMSON, 21, from Montrose, Forfar, was a boarder in John's home in Glasgow. By this time, Jane had died and John had a 2nd wife, Isabella, with whom he had a son, Samuel. I do not know Isabella's surname. Jane HALL CRAWFORD married Duncan James McCUNN on 11 Feb 1898. Her parents were Mark CRAWFORD and Mary CHALMERS. To further confuse the issue, Mark was first married to Margaret McLAREN, with whom he had an earlier daughter, born in 1873, also named Jane HALL, but who died. The cousin of mine to whom these people belong says there is a relationship between the two women, but he wasn't sure how closely related they were. Both were from Rothesay. I'm sure your head must be spinning here, but your names are the same names I have, just differently, so maybe there is a connection. (Maybe.)

Posted on: Buteshire Scotland Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Bute?read=384 Surname: MacKinnon, Cockburn ------------------------- I too am looking for a MacKinnon/Cockburn marriage. We believe Charles Cockburn, born c 1865 married a MacKinnon. The MacKinnon name has been handed down through the eldest son to the present generation. But this does not tie up with your info unfortunately. We believe he lived in Leith and was a cooper in his early manhood.

Hi all, Just letting you know that there is some new material up on my page: Mike Morrison has donated some excellent historical photographs Martyn Taylor has donated some family history details Photos of the church at Ettrick Bay which Peter Morrison sent to me in 1999 OPRs from Bill McKinlay and myself - heaps OPRs to come too! One name study notes from Bill & myself Hopefully something of interest for all. I've made a few changes and the pages seem to look better and load quicker. If anyone wishes me to add details of their Buteshire families to the page I'm happy to -- if they send them in a a similar style to what Martyn has done. See the one name page for his examples. This makes it quick for me to add to the site. Cheers, Sharon Hawkins www.geocities.com/buteshire
Welcome to "marshall", Lana Sweeney and Donald & Kaye Johnston who have joined this week. If you haven't already contributed, we hope to hear from you soon. ****** ****** ****** Having added a link to Sharon's new Buteshire Family History Project site last week, I have now developed a "List of Bute Researchers Home Pages" page for the ButeshireGenWeb site - direct link is http://www.rootsweb.com/~sctbutes/homepage.htm NB: This page is NOT YET linked from the main page. You must use the link or type in the address as given above. Once I have a few more entries, I will replace the link to Sharon's site with a link to the new page. Over to you. ****** ****** ****** from another list ... Am I Addicted To Genealogy?? When you are in a different city do you look through the phone book to find people that have the same surname as one of your ancestors? Do you get excited when you drive by a Cemetery? Do you talk about your deceased ancestors as though they were still a live? Does your librarian or the person that works at the archives know your whole life story? Do you check the obituaries everyday? Does your spouse call the library to see when you are coming home? Do you spend your vacation tracking down ancestors in record offices? Do you keep pictures of tombstones or long deceased ancestors in your wallet? Can you remember the date an ancestor died but you can't remember to feed the pets? Instead of an emergency kit in your car you have a research kit. Does your boss call the library or archives to see when you will be coming back from your lunch break? If you said yes to one or more of these you are an addicted genealogist !!!!! ****** ****** ****** Feel free to join in and present your own items.
