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.

Hi James,   Thanks for the information.   I do not live in Scotland and I do not even know what those places might look like.   As for the Fergusons, I believe they came from Stirling and Perth when the printfields were opened. It is my belief that they were not local people.   Best Regards & Happy New Year.   Luis from Argentina. --- On Thu, 1/1/09, James Kemp <James@the-kemps.org> wrote: From: James Kemp <James@the-kemps.org> Subject: Re: [DUNB] Surname exchange To: dunbartonshire-genweb@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, January 1, 2009, 6:20 PM 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.

Hi Janet, Going back to 1810 all of mine are from Greenock, Renfrewshire; Port Glasgow Renfrewshire; Campbeltown, Argyll; Dumbarton, Dunbartonshire. However, I have a Neil Innes born about 1785 for whom I have no birth location. He married an Agnes Colvin. Lisa

Here are the Dumbarton names I'm connected with: McFarlane, Davie, Innes, McLean, Colvin: 1. James Campbell White McFarlane (b1878) and his wife Isabella Harkley and family (Isabella's father was Henry Harkley possibly of Ireland and mother was Bridget Rainey, born Dumbarton, 1854) 2. James' parents Andrew McFarlane and wife Agnes Innes and family (Agnes parents were William Innes - Campbeltown - and Cordelia McLean also Campbeltown) 3. Andrews parents John McFarlane (likely Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire) and wife Jane Davie (Dunbarton) both born about 1800 (Jane's mom was Janet McFarlane and father Archibald Davie) 4. John's father was likely Andrew McFarlane, wife unknown Happy New Year to you all! Lisa

Happy New Year fellow Dunbartonshire ancestors:   My great grandfather James McKenzie was born in Falkirk around 1814 he married Jean Gray in Cumbernauld, Nov of 1839. His father was also a James, but I don't have his birth date or the name of his wife. I would assume that James was born around 1790 in or around Stirling and married about 1814, not sure though.   Grandparents: Robert McKenzie married Grace Smith in 1884, immigrated to the USA-Maine in 1887. My father, Sylvanus Hemingway McKenzie was born in 1899 in St. George Maine.   I have a lot of information on James and Jean's children that I would be willing to share. Dorothea McKenzie
