Hello Ron I have an Archibald Muir baptized 29 Jul 1707, in Govan, Lanark. Do you know if he is connected to your Archibald's family? Regards Patricia G'day Bev, My Stewart's are a few years before yours, ranging from John Stewart born c.1672, down to Agnes Stewart (born 08 May 1753), who married Archibald Muir 14 Jan 1769.

Hello Ron & Bev There are a few Stewarts mentioned in the Muir Journal. You can read the journal on this lists archives (I can't remember the dates I put them on the list though). It might be easier to read them on my website. www.taggart.co.nz. Enter the site and click on Muir and then Muir Journal #17. Janet's story is also based on a Stewart - her husband Allan Stewart, son of Allan Stewart and Janet Barr. Those of you who are new to this list may also enjoy reading the journal. Many names are mentioned. Bye for now Patricia Taggart New Zealand G'day Bev, My Stewart's are a few years before yours, ranging from John Stewart born c.1672, down to Agnes Stewart (born 08 May 1753), who married Archibald Muir 14 Jan 1769.

Hello Den, You could try the Watt Library in Greenock. They have Greenock Telegraph archives, and there just may have been a birth announcement in the paper. I know they have death notices indexed, but I am not sure about births, you would need to email them as the indexes are not online.

Hello listers I am still at a brick wall with this family Does anyone have these names in their family tree? James Cameron b abt 1782 married Margaret Kennedy b abt 1786 married May 1807 Ayr, Ayrshire ( I haven’t found any of there ancestors) Children Margaret Cameron born 30 Jan 1808 James Jane Robert b 1812 East Greenock, Renfrewshire From the childrens births, they where resided in Ayrshire, but Robert was born in Greenock. I have searched the 1841 census and no luck with James Cameron or Margaret Kennedy. Robert left Scotland before 1841. James Camerons occupation is a Currier (on Roberts marriage cert to Sarah Gemmell ) 1843, Liverpool, Lancaster. Can anyone suggest, what I do next. I have written to various places for MI’s in Ayrshire and Renfrewshire. Some of your expertise would be very grateful. Kristina

Hi I'm looking for the details of a birth that took place in Greenock sometime between 1918 & 1930 (family members all give different dates).

Den A Scot by birth if by parentage.

Johan - the Earl of Glasgow owned a lot of land in the Barrhead area. My Dunlops were tenants of his at Dovecothall Mill in the 1700s. Jeanette. Kelburn Street which I think has a connection to one of the Earls of Glasgow. I wonder if there is a connection. I am sure a local historian could put me right. > Thanks again > Johan Lochridge > >

I had a family of BRODIE ancestors living in Renfrew, Scotland, UK, as follows: *1841 CENSUS, *St. James Street, Paisley * *JAMES BRODIE*, age 40-44, born Renfrewshire, Scotland, silk handloom weaver. * JANET BRODIE, age 40-44, born Renfrewshire, Scotland, abt 1801. * JOHN BRODIE, age 15-19, born Renfrewshire, Scotland (1826-1830), pattern drawer. * JANE BRODIE, age 15-19, born Renfrewshire, Scotland (1826-1830). * JAMES BRODIE, age 13, born Renfrewshire, Scotland (1828), silk winder. * JANET BRODIE, age 10, born Renfrewshire, Scotland (1831), silk handloom weaver. * MARY BRODIE, age 8, born Renfrewshire, Scotland, abt 1833. * AGNES BRODIE, age 4, born Renfrewshire, Scotland, abt 1837. Ten years later they are living in Norfolk, England, UK: *1851 CENSUS*, Magdalen Street, Norwich (St.Saviour). * *JAMES BRODIE*, householder, married, age 51, born Scotland, foreman over pattern weavers (Silk). * JANET BRODIE, wife,married, age 50, born Scotland. * JOHN BRODIE, son, unmarried, age 28, born Scotland, pattern drawer (silk). * MARY BRODIE, daughter, unmarried, age 18, born Scotland, silk weaver. * AGNES BRODIE, daughter, unmarried, age 15, born Scotland, silk weaver. * ROBERT BRODIE, son, age 10 born Scotland, scholar. The daughter JANET is married to JONATHAN DAWSON, butcher and living nearby (she is my great-great-grandmother). There are various family myths about how they came to move south, includng the obvious one that both Paisley and Norwich were renowned for silk weaving. However, a more interesting myth is that somehow they got involved in droving cattle from Scotland to Norfolk and that Jonathan (the butcher) and Janet met up because of that. They married in 1849 in a rural district east of Norwich, where the DAWSON's were rumoured to own or rent cattle fattening pasture. I wonder if anyone on this List can shed any further light on the history surrounding this, or if there are any BRODIE researchers with a common interest?
