Would you agree its better to have an open mind about these things and that an identical name must have a common ancestry somewhere, sometime? A variation of the name could be found in HORNE with HORN. People moved around to find work. Illegitimacy was not frowned upon earlier as it has been later in history. I was surprised this morning to find a ROWAT presence in Argyll, which I had not before but my Gt Gt Grandfather took himself off as far afield as Finhaven Castle, Forfarshire and he met his Mull born wife to be in Perth I'd be very happy to pitch in and help find a connection for anyone. The earlier records of course are difficult to link up with any certainty. We've a Janet HORN who married George MILLS on 21 July 1820 in Cumbernauld. The Agnes HORN I have was born Kirkintilloch 28 August 1744 and my records suggest it was in Dunbartonshire; I cant commit to memory about the changes in boundaries.

You mentioned Dewar ROWAT I think and as he was born 8.July 1859 it should be possible to identify Robert's family hopefully from Robert Snr's death certificate as they were married pre registration in 1855. The ROWAT family married and intermarried in families such as HORN and STIRLING and I think its possible this lot might be related to Janet HORN. Do you have certificates in your records of Robert's death I wonder? I'll get back to you as soon as I have found the common ancestor.

You will see that it was I who referred to the Wire making factory and I confess I've known about the Pickle factory and the Wire Making factory for a very long time, but time and events havent caused me to identify those in the Rowat family who were running these businesses. I now find that I have no FINDLAYSON. I do have FINDLAY. The information you have given me now will cause me to trace the names back. My Gt Gt Grandfather was Robert ROWAT b 20 September 1841 and he married a Campbell lass from Mull. Can you give me the identity of the Robert who married Margaret please? The common ancestry is probably in William ROWAT b 1743 who married Agnes HORN b 28 August 1744. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I would not be sure about his date of birth. the census returns are a bit dodgy. In the 1881 he has his birth as 1796, On the 1841 he is aged 25 and in 1901 he is 85 but he is definitely still alive in 1903 according to the trade directory, which lists the company And his place of residence. I have more faith in the directory than the census I was doing some rsearch in the Mitchell Library, earler today, and had a quick glance for the wire manufactures. I had a look through Glasgow Trade directories and Alexander ran the wire company since the 1820s He is listed in the directories from 1840 through to the early 1900's I have some records on the Rowat's who had the pickle company, but more on the Watsons. Margaret Watson married Roberr Rowat in Paisley 1850. It was their son, Dewar, who ran Rowat and co, until his death in 1931. His Mother, Margaret died in 1903. She was born in Paisley in 1826, Father, Dewar Watson, mother Elizabeth Muir. The Watson's were wine merchants in Paisley after moving from Errol in Perthshire.
