Cumbernauld as a settlement has been around a long time. At the start of the 20th century it was a one street village with a few hundred people living in it, although it did have a train station. But in the aftermath of the second war the government designated it as a 'New Town' and it became a satellite of Glasgow. It got special treatment and was heavily developed to massively increase its population to the extent that it is now the eighth largest settlement in Scotland. 2001 census put it at about 50,000 people. -- James Kemp see Alexander at http://www.ajkemp.org/gallery/ or my games at http://www.full-moon.info/

My knowledge of US geography is appalling. More seriously, I find google maps are pretty good for coverage of most of the UK (and other parts of the world I've looked at). Generally if you put a village name in it gives you the right place, some village names are pretty common though and you can get a choice (e.g. Clachan, or Thornhill both have several in Scotland). With the satellite view on you can also see what the geography looks like, most of Scotland is still pretty wild (probably more so than it might have been when our ancestors left for the big cities and then in some cases the new world). -- James Kemp see Alexander at http://www.ajkemp.org/gallery/ or my games at http://www.full-moon.info/

Susan Bonhill is an area of the town of Dumbarton (technically a neighbouring village, but these days part of Dumbarton itself). Cumbernauld is about 30 miles away as the crow flies, so not unreasonable that people might not have moved from one to the other, but fairly unlikely as Cumbernauld is a new town, and until the mid twentieth century didn't really have much of a population. Dumbarton on the other hand is an ancient county town, and is much less prosperous now than it used to be. -- James Kemp see Alexander at http://www.ajkemp.org/gallery/ or my games at http://www.full-moon.info/

I have an Elizabeth MURDOCH who is my father's Mother,. Her parents were Peter MURDOCK b 1815 and Margaret BOYLE b about the same time, and they were married on 8 March 1861. There seems to be a connection with Ireland in that I suspect they went to find work there. I have a Margaret PETTIGREW born 2 January 1843 which was passed to me by my cousin - I've just checked again in IGI and thought I might as well list them as they appear there: Results for: Birth/Christening, Scotland, British Isles Father: Alexander Pettigrew, Mother: Jean Murray Exact Spelling: Off [refine search] [Print] Prepare selected records for download International Genealogical Index / British Isles - 9 Select records to download - (50 maximum) 1.

My father had the MUNN name as his middle name so there must have been a strong affilliation with this family. Ellen PETTIGREW b 22 March 1864 was illegitimate and her parents were James PETTIGREW and Helen HOLMES. Ellen married Edward CHESTER b 14 March 1863 on 3 April 1891 There is a first cousin marriage in this family also: James Pettigrew CHESTER was b on 28 December 1895 son of Ellen & Edward CHESTER married Elizabeth Murdoch CHESTER b 21 September 1901 on 22 January 1926. She died on 2 May 1984 Glasgow. I have just one son for them at this time namely James Edward CHESTER b 9 November 1930 There were two other sons for Edward CHESTERS and Elizabeth MURDOCH namely Edward CHESTER b 16 August 1893 who married Annie ROYAN b abt 1893 on 12 July 1923 and John Irvine CHESTER b 15 September 1897 who married Louisa SNIDER b 13 May 1901 I havent got the date because I have 2 John Irvine CHESTER names - I'll get back to you on this one. I have a John DICK who married Margaret FINDLAY on 28 April 1827. Children of their marriage were Agnes DICK b 29 October 1837 and Grace DICK b 3 April 1840. I think Ann Kirk may have more of these names in her BRYSON tree. There's another name that has occurred to me and it is HORN Give me more time to digest your names and I'll tell you if I can come up with any more. Maybe what I have mentioned might interest someone else because this is how I find it happens.

Dear James, Thanks for the information on Bonhill--I definitely need a geography lesson. Being from the USA is no excuse--I will study up. Thank you for setting me straight. Susan -----Original Message----- From: dunbartonshire-genweb-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:dunbartonshire-genweb-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of James Kemp Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2009 9:21 AM To: dunbartonshire-genweb@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DUNB] Surname exchange Someone known as Susan Burton <sewburton@relia.net> scribed the following at 19:22:25 on Mon, 29 Dec 2008, allegedly: >I have FERGUSENS but mostly in the Cumbernauld, Dunbarton area.

Susan Bonhill is an area of the town of Dumbarton (technically a neighbouring village, but these days part of Dumbarton itself). Cumbernauld is about 30 miles away as the crow flies, so not unreasonable that people might not have moved from one to the other, but fairly unlikely as Cumbernauld is a new town, and until the mid twentieth century didn't really have much of a population. Dumbarton on the other hand is an ancient county town, and is much less prosperous now than it used to be. -- James Kemp see Alexander at http://www.ajkemp.org/gallery/ or my games at http://www.full-moon.info/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DUNBARTONSHIRE-GENWEB-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message No virus found in this incoming message.
