Hello Peggy There was so much detail in your mail that I had trouble seeing who was who, but I do have a couple of ideas that you may or may not already know: 1) There seem to be at least 5 different people researching these Strachur Montgomerys on Genes Reunited so it might be worth signing up there. www.genesreunited.co.uk If, for some reason, this is not possible, I could possibly try to contact them passing a message on from you if that would help. 2) I don't know how long it is since you lost touch, but I understand there are still Montgomerys there in the village, and it's so small that I would think that a letter addressed to them at or near the Smiddy should find them. Good luck Katie de Haan MCVEAN SINCLAIR MCKELLAR CLARK Argyll, Renfrew > LKS Scotland MITCHELL MCINTYRE Argyll MCCALLUM MUNRO BEATON BETHUNE: Sutherland, Ross & Cromarty > LKS MCCALLUM Perthshire pre 1780 BEATON BETHUNE Skye pre 1670 KING PALMER LANGSTONE CARR HUTT Oxon/Berks UK KING JACKSON WEEDON Middlesex/London City/East End UK ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2007 5:14 PM Subject: [ARGYLL] does anyone have any info on my family members listed here,please? > My great grandfather was John Montgomery here.Any information and live > contacts would be greatly appreciated as we have lost contact.The sisters > running the ""Smiddy'' have lost contact with us and the owner of the > garage as well. > THANKS TO ANY RESPONDING. > Peggy in SC,USA >1861 Scotland Census_ > (http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=1080&enc=1) > about Colin Montgomery > Name: <HLT> Age: 7 Estimated birth year: abt 1854 Relationship: > Son > Father's name: Dugd Mother's name: Jane Gender: Male Where born: > Strachur, Argyllshire Registration Number: 534/2 Registration > district: Strachur Civil parish: Strachur County: Argyll Address: > Clachan Occupation: Scholar ED: 2 Page: _7_
