Here's an obscure question. My husband's ancestor was a John Duncan/Dunkin who was probably born in New Jersey -- possibly Trenton -- in the early 1700s. No records, of course. Some say he could have been born in Scotland or on shipboard. His father was supposed to be called William Duncan and was probably a Baptist minister. Lots of maybes and probablies here. Has anyone any ideas on how we might track down this William Duncan? We have noted that several descendants have the bent little finger that has been observed in the Robertson/Duncan clan. Sheila

Greetings, I am fairly new to this list but joined as soon as I found it. In my line I have Stewarts from Blair Athol, Perthshire. I know of a Peter Stewart born in 1752 though exact location has not been found yet. His first wife was Jane Unknown and he married second a Janet McFarlane. He had the following children: Alexander b: 1776 Blair Athol d: 1866 in Canada married Margaret MacFarlin; Patrick born 1779 d: 1832; Charles b: 1787 d: 1832 wife Nancy unknown; Margaret b: 1785; Isobel b: 1790 Blair Athol; John b: 1790 Blair Athol (twins?) married Grace unknown; Robert b: 1792; James b: 1796 Blair Athol married Margaret Allen. I am descended via Charles and his wife Nancy through their daughter Nancy b: 1809 in Virginia USA Nancy married William Ashford-the last of their children were born in Texas USA. Thanks, Stacey Ashford __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos: High-quality 4x6 digital prints for 25� http://photos.yahoo.com/ph/print_splash

If anyone on the list has access to the 1871 census for Logierait could they do a look up for me. I am researching my Great Granny Christina Kennedy always called Christina Dewar illegitemate daughter of Margaret Kennedy and James Dewar born 5th February 1859 at New Inver, Tullipowrie, Logierait. I have the Kirk Session Minutes on her illegitemacy. I believe that I have her on the 1861 Census aged 2 and living with her paternal grandparent Donald Dewar at Findynate House, Logierait. On the 1881 census she is living at Amulree & Crieff Rd, Dull and working as a kitchen maid. If anyone could find her on the 1871 Census and who she was living with I would be really pleased.

Dear Listers Robert Bruce had nothing on me. Try try again - (or annoy people again and again.) Still looking for the Clarkes of Kenmore - Frank and Margaret -on 1881 census aged in their 30's - looking for records of their son, Frank, a joiner who migrated to Melbourne c.1919.? Need Margaret's maiden name. Martin, (son of George Gardiner, and Janet Borrowdale) somehow related to the Scrimgeours/Carrs of Glasgow Road Perth, born c.1895 - in Australian Army W W I. Peter Reid Close enough to the Scrimgeour/Carr family to be called "Uncle Peter" and for the youngest Scrimgeour daughter to be called after him: Caroline Reid Scrimgeour.(b.1885). Grateful for any assistance. eliz.

Hi John When I downloaded a week's emails yesterday evening your message caught my eye because I had just driven through Blairingone on the way back from Larbert! I had a quick look in the 1851 Census index I have for Cleish parish in case there were any KIRK or PENNY entries that might be of interest - none found. Then I noticed in Tony's message that AP and MK had a daughter, Helen/Ellen, with the unusual middle name COVENTRY, so had another look and found Isabella COVENTRY, age 63, born PER Fossaway Ref Book 1 Schedule 24 May be one to file away for future reference........ or a complete red herring!

Just wanted to say that I also have a interest in the Dalcapon area generally, through my Stewarts, Fergusons, McLarens and Husbands at Mains and Netherton of Dalcapon, Tomnald and Auchnaguy from the mid 18th century through to the 19th. I also have a Balmore connection in a James Stewart who died at Balmore on 29 Sep 1860, the son of Alexander Stewart and Janet Scott. I believe this James was the widower of Elizabeth McLagan. James Stewart and Elizabeth McLagan had 9 children born 1799 - 1817 while living at Croftstochanach, Balgowan and Mains of Dalcapon.

Through IGI I have traced my family origins to Thomas Arnot b 27 Oct 1755 Trinity Gask with father James Arnot mother name not shown on IGI. However there is a Trinity Gask marriage 23 Dec 1743 between James Arnot and Janet Mittchell with following children born Trinity Gask James 1745, Janet 1751, William 1753. - I would appreciate if SKS could advise me how to check if my Thomas Arnot is part of this family. I have also found a James Arnot and Janet Mittchell had another child Alexander Arnot b 21 Aug 1760 at Madderty.. Looking at Scottish history it is understood how father James Arnot may have moved around so I would be glad to have any guidance as to his birth/burial record in or near Perthshire. Thanks Rex Arnot - Tasmania.

Could you please do a look-up in the 1851 census for John & ? (Ferguson) Stewart in the parishes of Blairgowrie and Dowally. They were probably both born about 1780. Their son, James Stewart (b 1805 or 1806 at Dowally) married Isobel Keay (b 1800 at Caputh) on August 20, 1829 at Caputh. My great great grandfather, James, died Nov 1, 1878 at Blairgowrie. At his death it is noted that both his parents have died previously. I was wondering if either or both of his parents might show up living in the 1851 census. Any help relating to the above would be very much appreciated.

In my ancestry, I have a John Stewart who married ? Ferguson (don't know the 1st name). Both had died before Nov 1878. To them was born a son, James Stewart, in 1805 or 1806 at Dowally, Perthshire. On August 20, 1829 at Caputh, James married Isobel Keay (b 1800, Caputh). To them were born 6 children, the eldest of which was Janet Fenwick Stewart born on February 12, 1830 at Caputh. Janet is my great grandmother. I'd love to hear from anyone who may be related to any of the above.
