Hi Glen, >From what research I have done, no, I haven't come across any of my GOW line using the FERGUSON surname, not to say they didn't though. Perhaps a 'Google' search on Clan GOW may explain better how some used 'other' surnames and why, like SMITH, McPHERSON instead of GOW or MacGOWAN, etc. It is very interesting. >From the Parish Records, Duncan is the only child I can find born to Archibald GOW and Janet McNAB, although am sure there must be more, but just not on the PR's I have checked so far. Duncan GOW and his wife Ann JACK did have a child called Margaret, so maybe there was a Sister to Duncan called Margaret, thus naming a child after her. Sorry I cannot be of anymore help to you. Kind regards, Sue (Tropical North Queensland, Australia) > 1. Re: GOW family of Comrie (Glen Bodie) > From: "Glen Bodie" <glen@glenbodie.com> > Sue - 2 questions to see if this might connect into my family line: > 1 - have you ever run into cases where your GOW family used the surname FERGUSON for some reason? > 2 - do you have any idea if Duncan had a sister Margaret (b. ~1770 near Comrie and m. Archibald DEWAR in 1786)? > Regards - Glen C. Bodie _________________________________________________________________ View photos of singles in your area!
