Hi Ava I've heard about that happening,but this is the first instance that I've come across that is documented,although there are probably many more. My gr.gr.grandfather Hugh McGunigal,born Ireland abt1816,died in the Glasgow Poor House in 1863. His wife Sarah Coyle,born abt 1816,seems to have disappeared after that event,although I've had various people searching for her in Scotland,as well as my own attempts to find her. Their son born 1838,and his family,went to USA in 1874,but she wasn't with him,a daughter Mary born 1837 also disappeared,and efforts to trace her have been unsuccessful. Maybe I should be looking to Ireland for them !.

Do you have any basis for your suggestion they might have been sent to Ireland as a punishment or for other reasons. I found that my father's CHESTER line were in Ireland and I am absolutely stumped as to why, other than they originated there. I know they couldn't have. The name is English, a City there as most of us know, but I do need to track them back there. You've made an interesting comment.

Thank you for the reply. The closest I come is a Catherine McNaught born 1882. She married William Mac Donald in 1908.

Thanks to all of you who have answered my question. I appreciate you taking the time to write. Haven't decided exactly which way I will go yet but these are all good suggestions. Looks as if I will have to join one of these sites since the free census does not have Dunbarton on it yet. Janet
