Excellent. I wonder if I could find my Hugh/Ewan McGregor/MacGregor there? He must have died 1853 to 1854 since he does not appear anywhere in a 1855 to 1857 death record when they started the new registration in Scotland. I got the date of death narrowed down to 1853 to 1857 by the bracket of the birth of his last child, Christina McGregor, in 1854 and the remarriage of his widow, Agnes Cross, in 1857. I have found his marriage record 1847 in Glasgow, and in the 1850 Glasgow census he said he was born in Helensburgh (Row or Rho Parish?) 1827. I cannot find his birth record, but I did find some McGregors living in Bonhill at that time having other children. BTW, I do have a copy of Agnes's death record 1905 in Stirling. She was widowed 3 times, Hugh McGregor being her second husband. My cousin from California is going to Scotland this fall on a research trip, so any direction as to where to look will be welcome.

I'm researching Alexander Harvey Lindsay b. 1850 in Dundee d. 1 Jan 1924 in Alexandria. He married Margaret Cunningham Hay 16 Dec 1875 in Glasgow. He was the Inspector of Poor for the Bonhill Parish in Alexandria. He started his career as Inspector of Poor in the Breehin Parish of Dundee then transferred to the same position in the Barony Parish of Glasgow. After his marriage to Margaret, he worked in the Bonhill Parish in Alexandria. I would like to know if anyone is familiar with the Lindsay family in Alexandria. I'm interested in any records relating to Alexander's occupation. I'm told when he was in Glasgow he was the authority on the "Law of Settlement". The information I have so far are vital and census records. Thank you

Thank you to all who have responded to my query. We stayed on Inchmurrin in the middle of Loch Lomond for a week in 2001. It was so beautiful, and a great place to return to after a day's foraging around the family haunts. I'd love to go again but it's not likely that we will. I have a beautiful oil painting of Loch Lomond at Luss with Ben Lomond in the background. It was painted by my g g aunt in 1896. It's a good reminder of that great holiday. I remember visiting Rhu. Thank you for the translation of the names, Henry.

Hi Cathy I don't know where Currakennaiken is but it appears to be the name of a farm. Curraken is a variation of the name Corrigan and aik is an old Scots word for oak. These old farm and field names often did not make into the Ordinance maps.
