I am researching the McKay family of Napierston Terrace in Jamestown (from about 1882 - 1916). John McKAY's children married as follows: Maggie BAIN married John McKay (b. 1873 in Balloch) Anne MCLEISH (b.c. 1880) married 1908 to Joseph McKay (b. 1882 in Alexandria) Agnes LYNN (b.c. 1889 ) married Alexander McKay (1910 in Jamestown) Charles MACARTHUR (b.c. 1891) married Jean McKay (1920 in Jamestown) Any information would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Looking for various MCKAY families of the Jamestown, Bonhill area. They all were children of John McKay and first wife Janet CALDWELL, and second wife Elizabeth SMITH. 1. John MCKAY (b.c. 1877, Balloch) m. Maggie BAIN 2. James Coulter MCKAY (b. 1882, Balloch) m. Annie MCLEISH 3. Alexander Smith MCKAY (b.1885, Bonhill) m. 1912 Jamestown Agnes LYNN 4.

Hi Karen I have Elizabeth McCulloch of Kirkintilloch in my Reid line. She was married in 1839 to James Reid, they lived at Mill Hill Cottage near Dunblane for 50+ years. They had about 8 children (I left my file at work and I can't remember the exact number or names!), one of which was Alexander Reid who was my ggg grandfather. Could Elizabeth and Jean be sisters?

Hi, Thank you both for you`re information. It is my understanding that Kirkintilloch was full of Grays and Stirlings. There could be a connection but I`m not sure where. Most of my family were from Hillhead. Annie, do you know who the parents of or birth dates of Janet and Elizabeth Stirling are? Elizabeth May Stirling is my gggrandmother b. 1866 d. 1940. She has a sister Janet. Karen

Hi everyone, Seeing as no one could help me with the Stirlings, I`ll try the Grays. James Gray b. abt 1846 and Mary Rowat b. abt.1845 m. July 27 1866 Kirkintilloch. She died 1881- 1889. His parents may be John Gray and Jean McCulloch. James`s and Mary`s children are: John b 1866 Margaret b 1868 Jane b 1871 Mary b 1873 James b 1877 Robert b 1879 All of Kirkintilloch Thanks Karen

Hi everyone, I`m looking for information about Walter Stirling. He married Jane Rankine Jarvie on July 12 1850 Kirkintilloch. He died between 1870-1881. Their children are:John 1856 Mary 1856 William 1857 Jean Rankine 1860 Janet 1861 Margaret 1864 Elizabeth May 1866 Alexander 1870 All born in Kirkintilloch. Any information would be appreciated. Karen in Ont.

Hi Jean Did you get the two dates and parishes from the IGI or OPR index or did you look at the films of the original parish registers? I have found that where there are dates in two parishes with the dates being within a week or so of each other, these dates refer to the banns not the marriage, although the later date may be the actual marriage date. Where bride and groom were from different parishes the banns would normally be called in both places. Some parishes would only record the banns, some would record the banns and note after the last banns entry the date and place of the marriage or in some cases that the marriage did not take place, and some parishes only recorded the marriages. You need to look at both parish registers to see what systems were in use in 1810 in each parish. When the IGI index was compiled from parish registers, the banns dates were often included as a marriage date which results in a number of couples seeming to have several marriage ceremonies. Your message reminds me that I must check the original Dumbarton parish and Paisley Middle Church registers for a pair of marriage index references in my family, John GREENHILL from Paisley and Martha McFARLAND from Dumbarton in the late 1700s. There seem to have been quite a few marriages between people from Dunbartonshire and people from the greater Glasgow/Paisley areas in Renfrewshire and Lanarkshire.

Hi I'm new to this list. My name is Jean I live in Sydney Australia,and I am researching CLARK/CLARK, DUNBAR in Dunbarton. I was also going to ask the question about couples marrying twice. I have Nicol CLARK married to Margaret DUNBAR on 8 December 1810 at Old Kilpatrick Dunbarton, and on 17 December 1810 Low Paisley, Renfrew. Maybe the two ceremonies were performed to keep both sides of the family happy. I'd love to know if this was common. TIA Jean. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Please be patient -this is my first try. Is it possible that the same couple married twice, in adjoining parishes? I am looking for the parents of MARY CAMPBELL,b.10 Oct., and c.27 Nov.,1808 in Mambeg,Roseneath,Dunbarton. I found the marriage on 20 Nov.1804 in Row,Dunbarton, of JOHN CAMPBELL of Row, and JANET CAMPBELL OF Roseneath. I also found the marriage on 3 Dec.1807 in Roseneath,Dunbarton of JOHN CAMPBELL and JANET CAMPBELL, both of this parish. My MARY CAMPBELL married ANDREW SCLANDERS 13 JUN1831 in Glasgow. Can anyone out there help me? JA in BC
