Posted on: Shire of Dunbarton, Scotland Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Dunbarton/662 Surname: Mckinlay, Sinclair, Campbell, Crawford ------------------------- Seeking information on Archibald Campbell b abt 1814 in Kenmore Perth. Married Anne Crawford abt 1841-45 place unknown. Moved to Kippen in Stirling abt 1845 and Had daughter Elizabeth 8.6.1845. Elizabeth married Allan McKinlay in Lochgoilhead in 22.11.1869. They all moved to Dalvait in Bonhill. Any information about Archie or Anne would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to find the parentage of my Patrick (Peter in Canada) McAuslan(e). He was married in 1835 to Catherine Ewing of Cardross. They emigrated from Rutherglen, Lanark in about 1838. Since Row and Luss seem to be the home site of most McAuslans I speculate that Patrick lived there before moving to Rutherglen. The first child of this couple is Joseph. This seems an uncommon name in the McAuslans so have found a possible parent. Joseph McAuslane of Tomavoulin, married first Agnes McMillan, his servant and they had a daughter Mary born 1794. His second married was to Jean Wilson, a widow, of Easter Blarnearn in 1795. Her previous marriage was to Peter McFarlane in 1785. Joseph and Jean had three children: Jean b 1797, Robert b 1798 and Patrick b 1800. Robert didn't marry but don't know anything of Jean. The only other Peter or Patrick McAuslans were: James McAuslane and Ann Bissett had a son Peter b 1804 in Cardross. Peter McCauslane and Jean Marshall of Bonhill had a son Peter born in 1802. Even if I could eliminate some of these people it would be a great help. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Jean Broadfoot, 1024 Arnot Road, Ottawa, Ontario K2C 0H4 jeanb@magma.ca

I am looking for the parents of Catherine Ewing of Cardross who married Patrick McAuslan of Rutherglen. The closest I can come to possible parents of Catherine are James Ewing and Mary Gray who were married in 1798 in Greenock but most of whose nine known children were born in Dumbarton. Christian and Agnes were twins born 8 Jan 1809. This is the correct year for my Catherine and I can find no birth in Cardross for a Catherine. I have found three other Catherines who were born about that time but not in Dumbarton. Walter Ewing and Jean Taylor had a daughter Christian born 1806 in Glasgow (there are no Walters in the family) John Ewing and Margaret Dick had a daughter Catherrine b 1807 in Stirling. James Ewing and Margaret Martin had a daughter Catherine born 1808 in Perth. If I could eliminate some of these Catherines it would be a great help. I would appreciate any help.

Posted on: Shire of Dunbarton, Scotland Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Dunbarton?read=657 Surname: McKinlay, M'Kinlay, Mackinlay ------------------------- Dear Rachael, Sorry for the difficulty in communicating. I'm sure there is a good reason to preserve privacy, but I, personally, would prefer a link directly to the other person's e-mail address. I have had the mckinlay.1@osu.edu for years, so if you try that , it should work. I'd be pleased to have you send whatever manual data you have, and I'll put it in a FTM format for you. Since I have the transcsriptions of the Rhu Kirk cemetery downstairs, I'll look up Janet McKinlay Hamilton for you. I'm also getting copies of the Dunbartonshire monuments as recorded by Charles Rogers some years ago, because the library in Ft. Worth, TX, is kind enough to do that for me, The book is a reference, so non-circulating only. I'll see what I can find there as well. I will also send you a WORD format Genealogy File on my Dunbartonshire McKinlays, but I'll need either your e-mail or snail mail addresses in order to do so. In the meantime, you could visit http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~mckinlay/ and find the first, primary Robert File just after the Royal House of Scotland and can see my whole family tree. My snail mail address, for sending any overland data, is: 1303 Goldsmith Drive Westerville, OH 43081 I'll get back to you as soon as I can and when I have an address that you give me to which to send the data. Best regards, Bob P. S. You know, I just noticed that there is a link to as well as your e-mail address just below the Subject line in your message. I wonder if my e-mail address is stated incorrectly when similarly posted. Of course, I got the notification that you had posted a message, so the Queries Forum knows my correct address. I'll send you a test messsage and I did give you my correct e-mail address in this message above.

Hi Everyone, I am new to the list and would like to post my surname interests: FLEMING and COLQUHOUN at Dumbarton. Cheers, Dorothy

Posted on: Shire of Dunbarton, Scotland Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Dunbarton?read=655 Surname: MCKINLAY ------------------------- Hi Bob, When I attempt to respond to your email, it is returned undeliverable. So I apologize to the rest of the list for having to get these messages but it appears I can only post messages here rather than write directly to Bob. I would like to see your information as a word document since I have never used Family Treemaker. I can email you what I have on my Janet McKinlay this weekend but at this point it isn't much-just her date of marriage and children. I'm not sure how to go about researching her birth since I don't know her parent's names. She may have died in the parish of Rhu however. Would you mind checking the transcriptions for her (her married name was Hamilton)? Of course, there could be too many to determine. I would appreciate it. I can't say I've ever been to Beverly-I am a South Shore person and grew up there. Rachael

Posted on: Shire of Dunbarton, Scotland Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Dunbarton?read=654 Surname: McIntyre, Auchinleck ------------------------- Trying to find any information on Christina McIntyre (born date unknown). Christina had a child Isabella McIntyre (my great grandmother) (b 4.9.1870) Rhu parish, Glenmallan, Dumbarton and married Charles Phin Auchinleck 19.6.1874, Row, Dunbarton. Any information on Christina McIntyre and Charles Auchinleck would be appreciated.

Posted on: Shire of Dunbarton, Scotland Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Dunbarton?read=652 Surname: McKinlay, M'Kinlay, Mackinlay ------------------------- Dear Rachael, How exciting to get a response the very next day after posting my query! I'll have to go look at my notes and compare to your kind information, but the families have to be somewhat close, even if just goegraphically. I am not unaware that there were lots of McKinlays in Dunbartonshire - I've been to the Kirk at Rhu, where there are many McKinlay gravestones and I have the transcriptions from Rhu, Dumbarton, and St. MacKessog's(Luss) parishes, courtesy the Clan Colquhoun Society UK as well. If you would like and are able, I could send you either a GEDCOM file from my Family Treemaker 7.0 program or a Genealogy Report as a WORD attachment showing all that I know about my Dunbartonshire McKinlays. I would be pleased to have you do the same, at your convenience. So nice of you to reply, and your family information sounds fascinating. Please do keep in touch, Regards, Bob P. S. We spent two very memorable years in Beverly, MA, in the early'70's when I was in the Navy.

Posted on: Shire of Dunbarton, Scotland Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Dunbarton?read=649 Surname: MCKINLAY ------------------------- I happen to have a McKinlay ancestor with connection to Helensburgh. My ggggg grandmother was a Janet McKinlay. She married a John Hamilton c. 1780 something (I don't have my notes right in front of me). Although they were married in Glasgow, I believe they had some connection to Helensburgh and Row parish because their children, Isobel (my gggg grandmother b. approx. 1792 Glasgow) and Gabriel were both married in the Row parish church. That leads me to believe the family moved to Helensburgh so probably had some sort of connection. At this point, I have not researched Janet McKinlay as I don't have much info but if she got married in 1780s, she was probably born approx. 1760s. Does this person sound familiar to you?

Posted on: Shire of Dunbarton, Scotland Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Dunbarton?read=648 Surname: McKinlay, M'Kinlay, Mackinlay ------------------------- A pleasant greeting to all from Ohio, U.S.A. I'm hoping to find common interests in the search for McKinlays originating in Dunbartonshire. I can trace my forbears back to 1784 in Rhu from Chicago, IL through Greenock, Renfrewshire, Helensburgh, and Rhu (Row in earlier days). There is evidence that some of the family may have resided as far West as Bute and up to Craigandorran(sic?). Alleged connections to the Farquharsons, MacFarlanes, Stewarts of Appin or Buchanans have yet to be established. I would dearly like to establish a dialogue and to share information with similarly minded researchers.

Hello again! I've received some copies of christening recorded in Old Kilpatrick in the early 1700s and have noticed many end with the witnesses names followed by "eq". Am I correct to assume this denotes "esquire"? What exactly would the title have meant to a late 17th-early 18th century Scot? A land-owner? The son of a knight? ??? Of course maybe I'm way off base and it was the cleric's initials. :) LOL

Hello, I posted my research interests a while ago but now have new information. So, I am reposting in the hope that someone else is researching the same family. Isobel Hamilton (b. April 1792 Glasgow. Father-John, Mother-Janet McKinlay, siblings-Mary, Gabriel, Janet) married James McAllister (b. approx. 1797 Barony, Lanark. Father-John, Mother Elizabeth Gilfillan) on December 19, 1822 in Helensburgh, parish of Row. Their children: John, born September 30, 1823 Helensburgh Janet McKinlay, born June 26, 1825 Helensburgh Elisabeth Gilfillan, born March 14, 1827 Helensburgh James, born December 11, 1829 Barony, Lanark Elisabeth married Duncan McColl (tailor, born in Appin, Argyll. Father -John) on May 14, 1849 in Helensburgh. Their children: John, born March 10, 1850 Helensburgh James, born December 12, 1851 Helensburgh Isabella Hamilton, born February 14, 1854 Glasgow Two twin daughters were also born to Elisabeth and were illegitimate. I don't know what happened to Duncan. The twins were: Catherine Jean & Margaret Armstrong born on December 1, 1858 Helensburgh. This family group, minus Duncan the father, immigrated to the state of Rhode Island, USA in the 1870s. I hope this connects with someone else. If so, I'd love to hear from you.
