I am looking for Scottish records of three of my ancesters. WILLIAM DUNCAN III, b. 19 Apr 1692, Dumfrieshire, and died 1781, Culpepper Co, Va, USA; m. Ruth Rawley, b. 1702 in England, d. 1781, Va. His father was CHARLES DUNCAN I, B. 6 Sept 1662, Glen Eagles, Perthsire, Scotland, d. 1720, Alexandria, Bellhaven, Virginia, USA. His father was WILLIAM DUNCAN, b. 1630, Perthshire, Perth, Scotland, d. 7 Jan 1692 in Perthshire. He m. SUSAN SARAH HALDANE. His father was JOHN DUNCAN, m. JANET MACARTHUR, b. 1635, Perthshire, Scotland, d. 1665. She was the daug of RICHARD HALDANE AND MARY KENNETT. Scot records show that a Wm III disappeared and was disinherited by his grandfather, Rev William Duncan of Glasgow. This is a huge coincidence but I believe it to be just that, a different Wm I and Wm III. Does anyone have any other information. I have a copy of the will of Rev Wm Duncan. Thank You, Mavis.

On the 1881 Census the address for one of my families is JAS.WHITES LAND in Carriden , Linlithgow. I wonder if anyone knows what this means. One of my husband's ancestors died in 1876, a pauper at Cowden Hill, Carriden. Does anyone know if this place still exists and also where would I find any records of paupers? Many thanks Barbara
Am looking for any connection with John REID who married Janet SIM (SYME) in 1871 in Blairgowrie or with any of John's siblings Janet or William. John is the son of Andrew REID and Margaret DICK. Thanks Kaye Dunedin, New Zealand
I am always jumping at straws when it comes to my Smiths in Scotland. I can only go back to James Smith born about 1788 in Perthshire. His wife was Helen Munro, born June 15, 1794 in Rattray, Perthshire. Their children were: Robert, Ann, James, William and John. They all seemed to end up in Iowa, but came at different times. I wish I could find out more in Scotland. Luciann iowabell@aol.com CA, USA

I have read OPRs back into the early 1500s in several different areas of both Scotland and England. I have never found a female baptism without a name (except in those few cases where there is a prominent blank where the clerk intended to fill in the name later but never got around to it). Unless specifically stated otherwise in this message, there is no intentional attachment on this e-mail transmission. Ken Harrison North Vancouver, Canada
I am trying to find out some information about a SMITH of Canmo/Cammo, Meigle (which I think is in Perth) from some old information I have recently obtained. There is no information about his Christian name, but he had a daughter Martha. In the times of which I'm talking - probably the 1600's - females were not often given names. However this Martha SMITH married Alexander FARQUHARSON of Brouchdearg and their elder son was called Alexander. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Cheers, Carolyn. Oz

Hello Does any know of a Crossmount Cemetery in the Kinloch Rannoch area and where it may be located. Many thanks Yvonne Australia
Greetings to All, I am researching for a friend, the FARQUHARSON family, who originated in Aberdeen and then came to Perthshire to various (some very old) places near Glenshee and Brouchdearg. The family goes back to the founder of the FARQUHARSON Clan and the most recent marriage I have is of an Isobel FARQUHARSON who m. Thomas LAMOND in 1790, Kingoldrum. They also lived at a place called Baldovie in Kingoldrum (which is difficult to locate). I have found on scotland'speople 2 deaths of children born to a James LAMOND and Ann FEARN; a James died 1889 at Baldovie and a Mary died 1886 at Baldovie. Is there some kind soul who would have any Memorial Inscriptions for FARQUARSON near Glen Shee or even Kirkmichael or somewhere close by. (I'm not very 'au fait' with Perthshire, except for Alyth). I would greatly appreciate any help. Cheers, Carolyn

According to the book of Perthshire MI's it is described: "The small area east of Kinloch Rannoch and south of Dunalastair has its own burial ground, used largely by Stewart's tenant farmers." National Grid Reference: NN 710 577 The MI book lists 27 MI's and are mostly Stewart's but there are McDonald's, Campbell's & Robertson's shown as well.

Having Longforgan connections via Mackie/Mackay, Robertson etc I have used IGI and specified Longforgan, Perthshire in searches. Recently seeking information re John Robertson:- 1. JOHN2 ROBERTSON (JAMES1) was born 05 October 1826 in Longforgan, Perthshire1, and died 17 December 1894 in Longforgan, Perthshire. He married ELIZABETH ANDERSON BATCHELOR 11 January 1846 in Longforgan, Perthshire, daughter of THOMAS BATCHELOR and MARGARET BAILLIE. She was born 28 March 1828 in Longforgan, Perthshire2. More About JOHN ROBERTSON: Census 1881: Perth Rd, Longforgan, shoemaker,age 54 Census 1891: Main Rd Longforgan North Side, gardener, age 64 Occupation: 10 December 1869, Shoemaker Occupation 1: 17 December 1894, Gardener More About ELIZABETH ANDERSON BATCHELOR: Census 1881: With husband & children, age 52 Census 1891: Main Rd Longforgan North Side, with husband, age 62 Census 1901: Main St, Longforgan, widow age 73, school cleaner Scotlands people census 1891 and 1901 determined he died between these events. Looking for death and specifying Perthshire produced 2 right age possibilities, neither at Longforgan, and by paying to view neither was correct! Perhaps he was hospitalised in Dundee so death in Angus, which produced a death (correct) in Longforgan, Angus!! The viewed certificate showed Longforgan, Perthshire.

Hi, Try the statistical account of Scotland 1791-1799 at http://edina.ac.uk/statacc/ and check the parishes of Redgorton and Auchtergaven. Stanley was divided between these two parishes.

Hello list I too have a soldier (English?) John CROMPTON (regiment unknown)as second husband to Ann KENNEDY living in Aberfeldy at the birth of his daughter. I haven't yet been able to get a positive ID, but possibility is a census entry later in York (barracks?). Since your dates are during the Napoleonic Wars, it may be that your man was in Scotland to recruit or be recruited into a Highland Regiment. The men of the Highlands were seen as ideal for effective, mobile light infantry & foot soldiers. Good luck to all Caroline PERTHSHIRE-D-request@r ootsweb.com To: PERTHSHIRE-D@rootsweb.com cc: 13/02/2004 04:02 AM Subject: Stanley, Perth c 1800 Please respond to PERTHSHIRE-L ----- Message from "Patrick Dunbar" <patrick@pdunbar.fsnet.co.uk> on Thu, 12 Feb 2004 21:51:37 -0000 ----- To: PERTHSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PERTH] Stanley, Perth c 1800 Does anyone know what Stanley PER was like in c1800?

I have a little book called 'Stanley: Its History and Development' which was produced in 1972 by an Extra-Mural class at Dundee University. It begins with the origins of Stanley in 1784 with the cotton mill, and ends in 1970s. Most of the info. about the town is around 1823-76 so this may be too late for you.
