RE-- Introducing myself as requested by Barbara. I was born in Clydebank up in the ' HOLY CITY ' in 1932 ,it was called that because it was built on a hill,and the white flat roofed tenements reminded people of Jerusalem. I survived the BLITZ,and now live in Brampton Ontario Canada. My research in Dumbarton is trying to find descendants of ---- Daniel McColl, my Gr.Uncle,born Argyll 1845,who lived on High Street Dumbarton in 1869. Cheers Frank McGonigal Ont.

We want to welcome the newcomers that have joined us in the past week. The list has been quiet lately...unless you have done so recently, ......feel free to introduce yourselves briefly and give the surnames that you are researching....always put the SURNAME in the subject line, as this surname goes into the archives for others to find later. Thanks to all of you that are helping each other with MIs and other records. When you send records to each other, "reply to all" so that others may look over the information that you have. I need to remember to do myself, as I have a tendency to answer privately all most of the time.

I am looking for information on Finlay McMartin and Helen Martin who were the parents of my g-grandfather Alexander Robert McMartin (born in 1835 in Dumbarton). I have been unable to find Finlay and Helen ever actually living with their children: Helen, Mary, Finlay, Barbara Marion, Alexander Robert and Peter. To explain: In the 1841 Census the children Mary, Finlay, Barbara and Alexander were living in Church Street Dumbarton with Duncan and Catherine McArthur who were born in Argyleshire and were listed as aunt and uncle to the children. In the 1851 Census Alexander was again living with the McArthurs at 139 Castle St. Barbara (an annuitist) was living with Flora McInnes (who was also from Argyleshire) somewhere in Castle St, West Bridgend. So, where were Finlay and Helen while their children were growing up and where do I start looking? On 2 of Alexander's marriage certificates (he married 3 times) he describes his father as farmer and landholder. On his death certificate his father was listed as Army Officer. Your advice would be most appreciated and apologise if I've been long winded.

Looking for James BROWN who was living at 7 Thimble Street, Renton in January 1916. He was the nephew of Mary BROWN WAUGH who passed away at that time. We suspect his mother may have been Belle BROWN who lived in Dumbarton. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. Listers. Can anyone give me any information as to the location of Netherwood farm or cottage in Cumbernauld ? My gggrandparents are recorded as living there in both the 1841 and 1851 census. I would be grateful for any information concerning its whereabouts and whether it still exists. John, Melbourne, Australia.

Hi All, According to the plan I should have been in Scotland today rooting around the Dumbartonshire headstones, unfortunately due to a critical illness of my Father in Law the trip is off. Apologies for raising the hopes and pulse rates of those who wrote looking for a look up. I have the details on file and if I get another chance you'll be on the list. Sorry Ronnie Ireland (Ex Kilmarnock)

Hi, My family was from this area of Dunbartonshire (New Kilpartick). I think they arrived sometime between 1845-55. They too were from Ireland. The men in the family worked in the coal mines and the women in a paper mill. I have never been able to discover where in Ireland they originated from. Has anyone else with Irish ancestors in this area figured out where in Irleand their ancestors came from? I could use some advice. The family's name was Potts/ Lynas Thanks Sarah Brown Robert Kuzyk wrote: > Dear list, > From my notes, Maureen Kuzyk, > ------------------------------------------------- > > 1851 census East (New) Kilpatrick, Dunbartonshire? or > Stirlingshire? film # 103670 > > This film supposedly contains some of the Dunbartonshire census. > For New Kilpatrick, it starts labelled, East Kilpatrick, Stirling, > Parish 500 and in other places, Parish 361.

Dear list, From my notes, Maureen Kuzyk, ------------------------------------------------- 1851 census East (New) Kilpatrick, Dunbartonshire? or Stirlingshire? film # 103670 This film supposedly contains some of the Dunbartonshire census. For New Kilpatrick, it starts labelled, East Kilpatrick, Stirling, Parish 500 and in other places, Parish 361. Some people say they are born East Kilpatrick, Stirlingshire and others say East Kilpatrick, Dunbartonshire Looks as though it is in the process of moving from Stirlingshire to Dunbartonshire or vice versa? A couple of things I noticed when I was writing these notes : A lot of the people are Irish working in the cotton mills, the enumerator has the counties listed for birthplaces in (mostly Northern) Ireland, that would be a help if you had Irish ancestors.
