Hello, I just joined--hope this is the right place. I have an ancestor, Hugh McGregor from Helensburgh---was formerly called Muleig or the New Town. It is in the parish of Rhu or Row, was in W. Dunbarton then, now is in Argyll & Bute, Scotland. Born 7 Oct 1827? Died between 1853 AND 1857 in Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland? Probably spoke Gaelic & probably had red hair. I have his marriage record with Agnes Cross 8 Aug 1847 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland (he was a cabinet maker then and the second of her 3 husbands.) But I cannot find his birth or death record. I would so love to know who his parents were. Please help me find and document them. I did find Hugh in the Lanark? 1851 Census with a wife and 2 children(Jane my ancestor--spoke only Gaelic and had red hair)and Elizabeth plus 3 McAllister stepchildren (David, Edward & Margaret). He stated at that time he was born in Helensburgh. He had 2 more children, John 1852 & Christina 1854. His widow, Agnes, remarried in Bridgeton, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland 1857---Gavin Pollock---and was widowed a third time. Then she had 3 more children--Gavin, William and Agnes. Agnes' first husband was David McAllister whom she married in Barony, Lanark, Scotland 1837. I have her death record from Stirling 1905. Her daughter Christine Nelson or McGregor (can't read the writing) was the informant. She stated Hugh McGregor had been an Ag Labourer. An assortment of Agnes' children from her 3 marriages and their families emigrated to the Pennsylvania USA coal mine towns in about 1882. Thank you, Anne Stratton Hilts, Arizona USA
