My Gt Gt Grandfather John MENZIES moved to Newark, Nottinghamshire from Durisdeer, Dumfriesshire before the 1841 census. He was joined shortly after by two younger brothers, Robert and Thomas. Thomas married Mary Ann WALSTER and they had several children including a son, William Robert MENZIES born 1859 in Newark. William Robert MENZIES married Harriet BROWN and they moved to Burnley. They also had several children, Elizabeth Ann b1883, Agnes b 1885, William Robert b1895, Lilly M b 1899, Thomas Andrew b1904 and Laura b 1907. There was also one son who died as a baby, Thomas b 1897 and died 1897. In 1911 they were at Springfield House, Clowbridge, Burnley. I would love to hear from anyone who has this Menzies family in their tree. Dot Menzies Holden

Hi Dot, I am related to the Menzies through the branch that settled in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and the surname changed to Meney, Mennie, Meanie, etc. Does that ring any bells for you?

Hi Venetia, I wish I knew! My MENZIES ancestor was in Newark, Nottinghamshire before 1841 as he is already a Draper on the 1841 census. The remaining family are at Woodhouselee in Durisdeer apart from two younger brothers who also went to Newark. I know that their parents were Andrew and Agnes nee MINZIE and that Andrew senior was the son of Andrew MENZIES and Janet SHANKLAND who are listed as being of Rigghouse/Enterkinfoot and Durisdeer on various baptisms. The Marriages and Burials records for Durisdeer church do not exist any longer and I am completely stuck now - I cannot verify the above information with marriage records and I cannot get any further back either which is why I was hoping to find someone researching from the other children of the brothers (few remained in Nottinghamshire - a wanderlust their descendants including myself seem to have inherited!) My Mum was given a data sheet decades ago from an elderly gentleman who had spent a long time researching the various MENZIES ancestral lines but it has a generation missing in order to connect it to the data I hold. regards, Dot On Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 6:14 PM, Venita via LANCSGEN <lancsgen@rootsweb.com> wrote: > Hi Dot, > > I am related to the Menzies through the branch that settled in > Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and the surname changed to Meney, Mennie, Meanie, > etc. Does that ring any bells for you? > > Yours, > > Venita > > Homepage: > Family History and Other Fascinations > venitap.com <http://venitap.com/> > > venitar@mac.com <mailto:venitar@mac.com> > > > > > On Jul 17, 2018, at 1:41 PM, Dot holden <koolbean1234@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > My Gt Gt Grandfather John MENZIES moved to Newark, Nottinghamshire from > > Durisdeer, Dumfriesshire before the 1841 census.

Hello Dot, I too am a descendent of the Menzies clan circa 1715 Jacobite army in Cumberland. I would dearly love to have a copy of the data sheet your Mum was given, any chance? My 8 x G Grandfather had his surname dialectically changed by the Cumbrian accent to MINGINS of which I have a one-name study with the GOONS (Guild of One Name Studies) and over 800 connections world-wide.
