Dear List, On my ancestor's death registration it lists him as a land proprietor. Can anyone tell me the definition of this occupation in the 1860's in Scotland? He had lived in Glenco, Argyll Co. and Glasgow (and possibly other places) before living in Old Kilpatrick where he died in 1864. Thanks for any help, Tammy Lomaki jtlomaki@northnet.org

Hello all listers, Two of my MCTURK ancestors died in Old Kilpatrick in the 1860's. Can anyone tell me which cemetery/cemeteries they might be buried in? Thanks for any help, Tammy Lomaki jtlomaki@northnet.org

Greetings to all on the list, I have recently joined this list because I have found my first link to Dunbartonshire on an extract of a death register. My GGGGrandfather, Thomas Ross McTURK/MacTURK Sr., died on 30 May 1864 at Ivy Cottage in Old Kilpatrick parish, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. (I have additional questions about him and about Old Kilpatrick parish, but I will put them in separate postings.) Below is most of what I know so far: Thomas Ross McTURK/MacTURK Sr. (b. ca. 1798/1799, place unknown) was the son of Alexander McTURK (farmer) and Sarah CAMERON--both deceased by 1864. Thomas m. Ann RANKIN/RANKINE on 12 July 1832 in Appin parish, Argyll Co., Scotland. She d. before 30 May 1864--(I speculate that she is the Ann MCTURK listed on the Scots Origins index with a death date of 1862 in Old Kilpatrick, but I am on a limited budget right now, so I haven't been able to order the extract yet.) Thomas and Ann McTURK/MacTURK's first three children were all born in Appin parish, Argyll Co.: Catharine McTURK/MacTURK, b. 1832; (she may have m. a MCINTYRE) Alexander McTURK/MacTURK, b. 1834 John McTURK/MacTURK, b. 1836 The next/last known child (my direct ancester), Thomas Ross McTURK/MacTURK Jr., (b. ca. 1845 in Glasgow, Scotland--according to information from the 1881 census). He m(1). Margaret CRANMER on 13 Oct 1865 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Thomas (Jr.) and Margaret McTURK/MacTURK's first child, Thomas McTURK/MacTURK was b. 18 Dec 1865 in Anderston parish, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Their next three children (Ann or Anna Bullion b.1868, William b.1870, and Robert Cranmer b.1872) were b. in Perthshire, Scotland. Their last known child, Jessie Cameron McTURK/MacTURK was b. in 1875 in Dundee, Angus Co., Scotland. I have additional information on Thomas, Ann/Anna, and Jessie Cameron McTURK/MacTURK if anyone sees any connections or would like more info. I would be very happy to hear from anyone researching any of these people or anyone researching any McTURK/MacTURKs anywhere. Sincerely, Tammy Lomaki St. Lawrence County, New York, USA
