Posted on: Shire of Dunbarton, Scotland Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Dunbarton?read=638 Surname: McKinven ------------------------- My grandmother Margaret Cumming McKinven had a son Alexander McKinven born July 1914 in Dumbarton. She previously had two daughters born in Campbeltown and had to enter the poorhouse there on both occasions. Can some kind person please look in the Dumbarton Poorhouse records for July/August 1914 and let me know if she and her child stayed there and if any other children are named in the records. I really would appreciate this help as I've hit a brick wall. Thank you in anticipation. Fiona
