Looking for the family of James M. MANSON and wife, Catherine WAUGH. They had eight children born between 1890 and 1906: Mary, Robert, Margaret, Belle, John, James, Catherine. The entire family emigrated to Western Canada in stages between 1912 and 1914. James (Sr.) was heavily involved with the Dye Works strike in 1910.

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

Thanks Gordon That census entry with the combination of Grossart & Lockhart, particularly as the Lockhart was a draper's assistanct and my McCallum family were also in that trade, looks promising although this would be the first Irish connection. However I know that there was a lot of movement between the greater Glasgow area and Northern Ireland. Thanks again.

My ggrandmother, MARION RUSSEL WALKER, b feb 1863 in Old Kilpatrick, Dunbarton married John Pollock Struthers of Eastwood, Renfrew and emigrated to Canada in 1891. Her parents were WILLIAM WALKER and MARY BENNIE m Mar 1854 in Old Kilpatrick. Does anybody have these people in their tree? Does anyone have a hint on where they may have left from in 1890-91 - would it have been Glasgow? PS John Struthers came first and came directly to Cumberland, BC Canada to work with Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir coal mines) although he was a "french polisher" working in glasgow and worked here as a carpenter. thanks for any help ... I may just have to come over and spend some time searching ... not a bad idea. shelley

Listers, finding the COUNTY Dunbartonshire is difficult in the LDS records, because they spell it the same as the town: Dumbarton......so if you're trying to see what records they have on this shire, bookmark to this site on the LDS Family Search: (Hope this works) http://www.familysearch.org/fhlc/supermainframeset.asp?display=localitydetai ls&subject=3112&subject_disp=Scotland,_Dumbarton&columns=*,180,0 Barbara Lewis lewisb@vitrex.net Dunbartonshire County, Scotland GenWeb Host http://www.rootsweb.com/~sctdnb/index.htm

For those of you sending in requests for census look-ups....

Listers, tomorrow (Saturday) I will be going through the 1841 and 1851 censuses of Old and New Kilpatrick and I can handle 3 or 4 look-ups as I am doing so. If you are looking for a SPECIFIC FAMILY , let me know. I do not pay attention to just surnames or requests that say "keep a look-out for anyone with the name....." Let me know if I can help.

I have started with updating the Dunbartonshire GenWeb home page (see URL below my name) and have called for people who may have any Dunbartonshire books or records to volunteer to do look-ups. Note that Bobby is listed as a volunteer to do look-ups on Dunbartonshire Monumental Inscriptions.

Hi Listers I need to clarify my last posting,I have DANIEL MCCOLLs brothers and sisters,I need to trace Daniels family in DUMBARTON. Cheers Frank McGonigal.

Hi Listers My gr.gr.grandfather John MCCOLL b.Torosay Mull,1807 died at 144 High St. DUMBARTON in 1869.His son Danlel was present. I'm looking for descendants of Daniel as well as sisters and brothers,if any. The McColl line I'm researching,settled in East Kilbride abt the.1830s,my grandparents William MCCOLL and Margaret DEWAR moved to the CLYDEBANK area,John McColl must have moved to Dumbarton to stay with his son Daniel.

Hi Debbie The name COCHNO comes up a few times in the CLYDEBANK area.There is a Cochno Rd.,A Cochno Burn( Stream ),also there is/was a Rugby field in the area.I have a fairly recent map that shows these areas.My 1898 map doesn't go that far north of Clydebank. The only reference to STARK I can find is the Rev.John Stark,who was involved in education 1873 to 1889 with the first School Board in the Clydebank area. I can find no reference to BARTONS HOUSE,but that doesn't mean it didn't exist. My McColl grandparents worked on HARVEYS LAND in YOKER,close to Clydebank.The land was usually called after people who owned and farmed the land,so the names you quoted probably came from the owners,but I am open to correction on that,where COCHNO is concerned.

Thank you for any help you may be able to provide. 1841 and 1851 Census Are the above indexed for Dunbartonshire? If so, are these indexes available for searches in the U.S.? If not, are there volunteers available to do these kinds of look-ups? I am trying to locate 3 areas and any available information. These are listed on the 1841 and 1851 Census copies I have.

** Let me first admit that I have no known ancestors in Dunbartonshire, but with genealogy, one is never sure! I was born and brought up in Greenock, on the other side of the Clyde, but visited quite a few of the places on the north bank of the river over the years, mostly by paddle steamer. I have been invited by the Listowner to visit for a while, and share some of my knowledge - I am a retired librarian who became a professional (paid) researcher several years back. My service specialises in Scottish history and genealogy pre-1700, so that probably is useless to all the members of the List! I wrote a small book, "Census Records for Scottish Families at home and abroad" (3rd edn. 1996, new edition in prep.), and I also lecture at evening classes in Aberdeenshire where I live. I have also for many years been press officer for the Aberdeen & N.E.Scotland FHS. I believe in helping new family history searchers to find their Scottish ancestors more effectively, so I offer some free factual help on several Lists where questions are asked and not answered by others - I don't have ALL that amount of spare time! I prefer NOT to get direct e-mails for free advice. O.K., that's me. I have just arrived on the list, so have not yet seen any postings. Any questions left unanswered that someone wants to restate?

I hope someone on the list can help with a puzzle in the 1891 census for Helensburgh (Row parish) . I have Peter McCallum (a second (I think) cousin of my ancestor at 60 John Street, head of the household, widower,aged 69, draper, employer, born Helensburgh, with his children, all unmarried & born in Helensburgh, Christina McL 33 dressmaker, Agnes L 33 dressmaker, and Henry J,, 31 drapers assistant, Margaret J 20 Milliner Jessie L 15 + John A Grossart, nephew 9 scholar, born Lanarkshire, Glasgow. Peter McCallum's late wife was Anna Lockhart born c 1836 Glasgow, married 30 March 1857, Glasgow. From other sources, the McCallum childrens names were Christina McLeod McCallum February 1858, Agnes Lang McCallum February 1858, Henry James July 1859 ,Margaret Jane Lockhart,August 1870 but I don't know Jessie L's full name. Other children were George Peter McCallum October 1861, Anna Maria McCallum September 1863, William Duncan McCallum September 1863, John Lockhart McCallum September 1866,Lewis Eade McCallum January 1868, Alexander Lockhart McCallum May 1869, John Walter Hood McCallum December 1874. The puzzle is how John A Grossart fits in. He is described as "nephew" of the head of the household. Who were his parents? I know that Peter McCallum was a son of Peter McCallum and Christian McLeod and had sisters Christina born 1891, Margaret born 1826, Mary Campbell born 1831 and Jessie born 1838 but have no definite information on what happened to any of them. Has anyone come across a Grossart family with links to McCallum from the Helensburgh area, or possibly with links to Anna Lockhart? Lesley Instone Invercargill New Zealand

Hi Lesley, We may very well have a connection, but it is too son to tell. Our earliest proven McFarlane to date is Daniel McFarlane - we don't have his birthdate yet, but he married Margaret McNabb November 16, 1839, in Cardross, Dunbarton. His son, John McFarlane, born May 08, 1852, was living in Helensborough when he married Ann McLeod in 1873. And, of course, Luss also shows up in our records. We will keep an eye out for your Martha and Margaret and hope that you will do the same for us.

Hello Jack & Cheryl and all Any information on parents of your Daniel McFarlane? I have two probably separate McFarlane/MacFarlane/McFarland lines, not in Cardross, but in nearby parishes. On my father's side, I have a Martha McFarlane or McFarlane who married a John (I think - data is at home) GREENHILL in Dumbarton, Dumbartonshire late 1700s and then moved to Paisley Renfrewshire where a number of children were born. On my mother's side,I also have a Margaret MacFarlane (similar period) who married Donald McCALLUM (probably in New or Old Kilpatrick if I have found the right marriage) 1780s and went to Luss where they had a large family, before moving to Row parish (where Helensbrough now is). I don't have definite information on the parents of either of these MacFarlane ancestors, and would appreciate any clues anyone may have on them, parents, siblings etc. Also trying to link a Peter MacFarlane born Helensbrough about 1883 to my McCallum family as he is supposed to be some sort of cousin. This Peter was the best friend of my maternal grandfather, Hugh Miller McCallum (born 1883 Helensbrough son of Donald McCallum and Margaret CUTHILL from Stirlingshire, married in Cardross, Donald being son of Duncan McCallum and Christian CHALMERS, and Duncan being son of Donald McCallum and Margaret MacFarlane). Any information on this Peter and his family would also be appreciated as I would like to get to the root of the family story that he was some sort of cousin.
