Hi Aileen I was the president of the Ladies Auxilary of the Clan Wallace in Bevely, MA about 20 years ago. One of our members was an Annie Emslie, can't remember her husband's name. There is a listing for a Wm. L. Emslie in our local phone book. If interested, email me privately and I will give you the information. I know that Annie and her husband came over from Scotland.

There is a family of Burns in Stonehouse, Lanark, Scotland with the same names. However that Hugh was born 1845 and remained in Stonehouse at least through 1881. I have the 1841 census and will check the elder John in the census. Perhaps there is a connection. Will try to do that tomorrow.

It might be Shott, but there is a Spott, East Lothian. Jani

Would anybody with knowledge of the location of the barracks in Edinburgh be able to help me out? I am interested in the whereabouts of the Cameron Highlanders at the time of the 1891 census. Believing that they were stationed in Edinburgh, it would help greatly if I could pinpoint the barracks on a census. If nothing else, it would save a lot of time scanning for a mention of the barracks, then the regiment, then the family. In case anybody has easy access and can go that one step further, I am seeking Robert (age 29) and Jessie (age 27) TAIT. Robert was a sergeant and master tailor with the regiment. There may be children, I have names but do not know about birth dates. Please reply direct as I may not be able to monitor the list regularly in the next few weeks. Thanks from Nova Scotia.

A family member was named for her paternal grandmother being given her first name, maiden surname as a second given name and of course was born with her married surname. However, she was also given a third given name of ENISLEY, reputed to be the paternal grandmother's second husband's surname. (Follow me so far :-) )We have yet to find a record of this second marriage, but we are still looking. The name is pronounced En-is-ley, but has been suggested it is a derivative of AINSLEY. We are also looking at EMSLEY, perhaps there was a mistake either in spelling or pronunciation somewhere along the line. The only time we have seen ENISLEY is on this family member's birth certificate. When researching old records we always have a look for it. I ask about this name every time an opportunity arises, so if I've asked it on this list previously please forgive me. :-) Aileen Power apower@nrtco.net Ontario, Canada

Perhaps it's a corruption of Ainsley

Dear Listers, I have ancestors by the name of HALL from INNERWICK around the 1680's. I know where it is, but does anybody have any historical information or point me in the right direction? Were there dwellings around the castle? Best wishes, Michael.

Aileen: I find the name AINSLIE in both the Scottish Clan and Family Encyclopedia and in Joan Ferguson's Scottish Family Histories. This name originates in England and settled in the lands around Dolphinstone. William de Ainslie was a canon of Glasgow Cathedral around 1208. If you want all the information on this name, e-mail me privately and I'll send it up to you. Patti in Spokane, WA genlindsay@aol.com

Dear Listers, Could somebody please tell me where SPOTT is? Thankyou, Michael.

Hi Terry, I thought my experience might be useful to you You have to order the films of the parish records and examine these records - putting the McIntoshes into family units based on different farms which will be named in the parish records. Then there will be the witnesses (or godparents) and although at different farms, these will be most likely brothers, cousins of the father or mother of the child. I have been doing this with other parishes, not Alvie. If you were to order the film, I might ask you to look out for someone for me, so my advice is not completely disinterested! Girzel can be rendered as 'Grace' and I have wondered also whether Girzel could transform into Janet. Good luck, Jane 18th cent Macgillivray OPRs Strathnairn http://www.mygale.org/~ancestor/dunlichity/index.htm -----Original Message----- From: TJMaco@aol.com <TJMaco@aol.com> To: SCOTLAND-GENWEB-L@rootsweb.com <SCOTLAND-GENWEB-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday 25 September 1999 04:20 Subject: McIntosh > Hi List, > > Is anyone out there doing research on the McIntosh surname,in >the Badenoch area.I'm finding my McIntosh's in the Alvie Parish.Alexander >McIntosh married in Alvie Parish to Girsell MacLean.than his children were >baptized at the same Parish.In the OPR I found a possible birth date for >Alexander and it gave Parent's names.What are the chances that I have a >connection.His birthdate would be around 1737 to John and Jean McIntosh.At >the Alvie Parish.Is anyone doing McIntosh researchin this area. > > Thanks, > > Terry McIntosh >

Looking for Hugh Burns aged about 4 with his father John somewhere in the Scottish 1841 Census and again in the 1851 aged about 14, his father may have been dead by then. Hugh appears in the 1861/1871 London St Pancras censuses and gives his place of birth as Scotland and his age as 25/34. At his marriage in St Pancras 1864 he stated that his father was John Burns, gentleman,deceased. I would ignore the gentleman aspect. In 1861 he was a border with a Scottish widow and her family (Murray born in Edinburgh) in St Pancras. There was a family bible now lost but the embroidered bookmark survives. On it has ' The Farewell Text Of The Rev R Montgomery.Preached in St Jude Episcopal Church Glasgow Oct 1843 Cols 3 "Christ is all and in all" Jane Kerr ' Delighted to hear from anyone who may have come across Hugh & John or can enlighten me on the earlier appointments of Rev R Montgomery.

There is never a ignorant or stupid question on here Gillian - we all begin somewhere!!! All I can help you with is to tell you that the Highlands are in Scotland. Regarding your Stanley's, I will keep my fingers crossed that you find a connection here!!! Keep asking those questions though - it is the only way to learn!!

Dear Listers, I have an AGNES SMART born/chr. 1701 at a place called WHIITINGEHAME. Would this mean that she was born at the HOUSE or were there dwellings around this residence? Does anybody have the address of the "archivist" at the house? Best wishes, Michael.
