Ian, I have a Montgomery who married into my Porteus line (Hugh Montgomery, he married Jane Porteus ). they had several children and then are supposed to have gone to Scotland . Jane was born c.1810-1820. I know this doens't help with your Montgomerys but it's interesting that there was this emmigration back to Scotland. Does anyone know how common this was? I thought most people emmigrated to US or Australia? Helen
