Thank you for any help. > > Debbie > Dear Debbie, My "bible' of Scottish Surnames, by G. Black does not list DOWLING, although Dow and Dove are listed as sometimes interchangeable. I could not find any other connection. Perhaps another list member can be more helpful. I did look up Dowling in the "Surnames of Ireland" by Edward MacLysaght and found the name listed as "One of the Seven Septs of Leix" whose territory was along the river Barrow, called O'Dowlings country or "Fearrann ua nDunlaing". They were "transplanted to Co. Kerry and are found most often in south Leinster currently. Another spelling is Doolan, in Connacht; Dolan. MacLysaght gives no dates but from these scraps, I would explore the possibility that this was one of the older and militant Septs that Lord Cromwell sought to 'break' during the Resto- ration era, 1640 - 1660, in his efforts to stamp out "Papism" in Ireland, as well as the rest of the British Isles. "To Hell or Connacht" gives a hair raising description of his extreme brutality. During the industrial revolution, many Irish were forced by economic pressures to go to Scotland to find work and this may be the Scottish connection. Regards, Daphne Jacob

Hi May, Most chartered banks offer international money orders and/or drafts which they are willing to sell for a price. That way the recipient receives the money in his/her own currency and since you have already paid the exchange fee you can send an exact amount.

Hi Eileen & Listers, Yes, one can open an account with an overseas bank and, believe me, it is well worth it just to be able to write, and mail a check without the hassle, and expense, of going through a third party. Give it a try. Sheila California

Hi I wonder if any one has any info on a Kenneth Macintosh who at the time of the kings jubilee in 1935 I think, had the honour of riding his horse to Gallow Hill to light the beacon as he was the oldest man in the parish. I am not sure where Gallow Hill is or was but it is likely to be in the parish of Killearnan. He is related to me via the Falconer family somehow. Any help would be great thankyou Ann Roots

I am searching for family history of Margaret Todd Fair born circa 1905 in Scotland, place unknown. Her mother was Agnes Fair, nee Rasch, and father was Todd Fair I think, The family emmigrated to New Zealand circa 1920. Thankyou David Jennings

Does anyone on the list know if it is possible for a non-resident to set up a checking account at a Scottish bank? It would certainly simplify matters if we could do so.

Hi Colin, Perhaps our email group could also become part of the solution to this expensive problem. For instance, if someone in Scotland wants an Australian birth, death or marriage certificate and someone in Australia wants a Scottish birth, death or marriage certificate. Then the person in Scotland can obtain the Scottish certificate and vice-versa for the Australian and swap them. No need to worry about the exchange rate or bank fees, etc. Just a thought Kim.

all listers Have started in depth research into McKill's,does anyone have a d/base for same. any info appreciated. 1.Where does the name originate from. 2.Is this a stand alone name OR variation of McKeil/McKillop / McKillican. 3. a mis-spelling perhaps, McGill 4. Have searched clan septs names cannot find???. If no-one out there has a d/base I intend to start one, any feedback on the name or variants would be greatly appreciated. Mother / Sister & two brothers were from Hamilton / Bothwell / Bellshill areas of Lanarkshire all deceased born about 1900 to 1910 Regards Jim Graham ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

COSTLY PROBLEM The below may be of interest to the Listers; Payment to UK is expensive from AUSTRALIA and will give the viewers details showing the expense incurred recently when I went the CBA bank for a cheque for a 4 (four) UK pound cheque to cover the payment for a parish register, the bank charges were "Transaction Fee" $4.00 Aust. plus "Conversion" amount of $11.67 Aust. plus a "Fee and Stamp Duty" of$15.00 Aust.totalling $26.67. So in Australia we do have an expensive problem to purchase items this way. I noticed on some BMD sites they do not have all the popular "Credit Cards" listed especially Southwark BMD who seem to list "Visa" and no mention of "Master Card" One other site mentioned they have facility in Australia where you can place your payment in Australia!!!, possibly this may be something jointly that Parish Family History Societies could look at? I found out another problem when you send a Australian Cheque to UK the banks in UK want to charge an exorbitant amount to process a Australian cheque. I sent a cheque! from $25.00 Aust. to a charity organization and the UK bank wanted more to cash the cheque than what is was worth!! Possibly the only other way would be to use a "Professional Australian Family Transcription Service", pay them in Australia Dollars and let them do the procurement???? I think this maybe worth while to keep in mind! Regards,Colin Darby, Armidale NSW Australia. [email protected] --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

If anybody has access to the 1891 census, I would be enormously appreciative if they would keep their eyes open for the details of my grandparents in Liverpool: John DALTON, born approx. 1866 (I am unsure whether his middle name was Edward or Blackhurst) Mary DALTON, born approx. 1870 (her middle name may have been either Alice or Ann). There is a possibility of a baby named Beatrice. I wish I knew their address! I am trying to track them down in the hope of eventually obtaining their marriage certificate which would tell me the details of their parents and their proper middle names (I feel fairly confident that the maiden name of Mary Dalton, who may have been born in Scotland, was HARVEY). Two odd things about John DALTON: 1) The cemetery where he is buried lists his name as being John Blackhurst Dalton. He would have been born about 1866. But the only John Blackhurst Dalton I have been able to trace was born in 1859. Could this possibly be the same person? 2) His 95-year-old daughter-in-law tells me she has never heard of the name Blackhurst. She tells me her father-in-law's full name was John Edward Dalton! Maybe I should apply for a death certificate, to see if it would clear up the mystery? If anyone could help, I would be very grateful. Reg in sunny New Zealand [email protected]
