Dear List: I am looking for any information on my ggg grandmother, Hannah Malcolm, born in Dumbarton in 1817. I had found some christening information on Hannah and her siblings (all with exact dates included), on the Familysearch website, but they are all patron submitted entries, so thought I should verify the information. I was then recommended to the "Scotlandspeople" website and did a search of the old parish records, where I expected to see all the same information repeated. I could only find christening information on one of her siblings, Mary Malcolm (c. 28 August 1808). Could anyone suggest some reasons why all the IGI information was not included on the extracted parish records on the "Scotlandspeople"? Is the website not complete? I would love to claim the Malcolms I have found in the IGI but do not want to do so until I am sure the information is correct. Any suggestions as to where I might look next? The siblings (from the IGI) are: Jean c. 1823 Mary c. 1808 Margaret c. 1812 Philip Henry c. 1821 Hannah c. 1817 James c. 1809 Samuel c. 1814 Elizabeth c. 1810 All in Dumbarton. Any help would be really appreciated, Anita Queensland, Australia

This would fit the age of the Walter you are looking for. The reason I am answering is that I have seen plenty of William Watson's mentioned, but yours is the 1st listing I have seen mentioning a 'Walter', so makes it likely there is some connection. Can give you more info on my Walter, & his subsequent family of 10 children, plus his parents, if you are interested? -Linda

His wife is Alice, age (in 1851) 54 years, born Lancs, England. I think her father maybe with them in the 1841 census as he was in the 1851 census, Abraham Thwaites. James Willox died in 1864 and Alice Willox died in 1870, but I am unable to find them on the 1861 online census for Scotland, although I have tried variations of the surname.

Hi, I assume you are looking for her death in scotlandspeople. Did you look for her under both her maiden name and married name? Did you type in McFarlane with eth e ate the end and without? Have you found her husband's death to see if he was married or widower to Janet when he died.? That would give you a time scale. Is it possible he died and she went back to Dunbartonshire? Have you found them in the 1841 /1851/1861 census to see if they are still around and what district they possibly died? You have not given her husbands name but I guess it may be McColl after checking family search. McColl may also be under McCall.

Davie, I have a copy of the 1868 marriage record of William McKinlay and Jessie Marshall. We already know William's parents as William and Margaret(Rutherford) McKinlay. Jessie's parents are listed as James Marshall and Martha Moin. As documented by Scottish census data, William and Jessie had Annie, Mary, William, Alexander, Robert, and John McKinlay. They lived in Milngavie. On an 1899 immigration manifest I see Jessie and sons William and John going from Glasgow to Boston to a dauther/sister Ruth in Pawtucket, RI. My grandfather remembers hearing that his great uncle was deformed in one arm as noted on the manifest. Jessie lived with both sons at different times. William became a foreman in a Manchester, NH textile mill. John also worked in mills in Pawtucket, RI and fought in WW I under the Canadian flag as he did not have American citzenship. John McKinlay (My gg great father) sent for his bride, Elizabeth Balderson from Manchester England in 1904. We know h! er mother was Scottish but have no idea how they met. We think both families had ties to Edinburgh. They named my great grandmother (who I remember very well) Jessie Marshall McKinlay. Thanks to both of you for all your efforts. I'll be happy to email any files you want. This is both frustrating and fun. Kate

Kate and I are working hard to try to find out whether or not our McKinlays are related. It doesn't seem so right now but that might change! Just as an aside, we have a George Marshall McKinlay in our family but he is Marshall named after his aunt Mary Marshall who married John Rankin(another part of the family)!! Isn't it all too confusing! Could you pls. tell me where you found 1838 marriage of Wm. and Margaret?

Did the family remain in Scotland? Davie

So...it is not likely that your William is the son of my William from Edinburgh but...maybe. I'll watch for clues but it is pretty expensive to try any further right now. Could not find William McKinlay marrying Margaret Rutherford on Scotlands People. So where are those two??? That's the frustration. Some day it will all become clear!!

Both born Oldkirkpatrick. Son James born 1828 married Mary Buchanan in Glasgow and moved to Bo'ness. I think I found them on the 1851 census because there was a Agnes Stevenson with James ( right age) and other children all last names Wallace. She was listed as widow. Does anyone know these people? I can trace son James and children , would just like more information on past Wallaces or Stevensons. Thanks..Donna

I too have used Scotlandspeople.com and think they have a terrible set up! I agree that William Sr. and John were possibly brothers. My connection is through William and Margaret's son John McKinlay b. 29 May 1881 in Milngavie. Our family heard that he had ties to Edinburgh as did his wife Elizabeth Balderson. John with older brother William and mother Jessie immigrated to Pawtucket RI in 1899 in work in the textile mills. John sent for Elizabeth in 1904 and they married later that year. It is mystery how they met with the only clue being their common tie to Edinburgh! I'll keep trying too and share all that I find.

But you could be right about your William Sr. ( Margaret's husband) and my David's father. His name was John McKinlay and his siblings were William, Cath., and Robert. That William was born c1824 so that would work out about right, wouldn't it? They were all born in Edinburgh. But I haven't had any luck finding marriage or death info on John's 3 siblings. I have spent a fair bit of money on Scotland's People website and find it very frustrating. I don't know whether to put it down to so many possible spellings(I've tried many, many) of the name or to the fact that maybe they just didn't bother registering any BMD's OR.... did they all leave the country??? Will keep trying and will share any info I have that you may want. Let me know.
