Some of my ancestors came from Cumbernauld and I would like to know how to obtain some historical information about the area and maybe pictures. One of my gg grandfathers was James STIRLING, born in ? Cumbernauld or ? Denny, married Marg McKENZIE of St Ninian in 1802. They had the following children: Margaret, Alexander, Helen, Agnes, Janet, Marian, Mary and William (my g grandfather). Both my gg grandfather and g grandfather were colliery 'engine keepers'. My other gg grandfather was William MARSHALL, born about 1779 in Cumbernauld. He married Isabelle STIRLING in 1813. They had the following children: ?William, Allan Stirling, Sarah Allan, Agnes, Allan, Matthew, William, Elizabeth ----there are probably more children however another Wm Marshall and Isobelle Stirling married in Cumbernauld in 1824 and I cannot decide which children belong to which marriage. (The Stirlings and Marshalls seemed to be very active at marrying each other). My William Marshall was a farmer. William STIRLING married Elizabeth MARSHALL in 1848 and they had 14 children. James (died as a baby) Isabella, Margaret, Elizabeth, Janet, William, Sarah, Alison, Matthew (my grandfather), Allan, Marian, Agnes, Mary. If anyone thinks we may have an ancestor in common I would love to hear from them. Betty. > > > > >
