I have only just subscribed to this newsgroup (hope that I won't be shot down in flames) but I would like to ascertain the connection between the McDonnells of Glengarry and my mother's maiden name of Sanderson. I have been researching my family history for some time now, and have been advised by one or two elderly relatives that there is such a connection. I have been reading a biography of Bonnie Prince Charlie, which contains a map showing his route down to Derby in 1745; this shows a route passing through Preston and onwards to Wigan; my great great grandfather Daniel Sanderson was born in 1798 in Eccleston by Chorley which lies on the route between the two towns, giving some possible credence to this claim. If anyone would be kind enough to give me any help, advice or suggestions, I would be very grateful. Thanks Philip Hood Tollerton Nottingham.
