Hi Elizabeth, I normally scroll down to the last line in an e-mail and when I scrolled down to yours I notice the surname MCDONALD. I am looking for the family of Alexander MCDONALD who married Catherine MCNEIL Sept 16 1847 in Paisley. Would you have them in your tree.? I have a number of DUNCAN's in mine if you are interested. They were mostly born in Angus but my direct descendant went to Stirling. If you think there might be a connection please contact me. Warm regards Wilma - Canada

Hi Robbie, I was wondering, are your Flemings from Greenock? Jackie Scottsdale, Arizona USA ----- Original Message ----- From: "robbie fleming" <robbiefleming63@hotmail.com> To: <SCT-RENFREW-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 2:18 AM Subject: Re: [Renfrew] Re:Finding Family

Hi Robbie, So far I have not come in contact with the Kerr name in Renfrewshire. The only Kerr's I have in my data base are John Kerr born 2 Oct 1792, Barony,Glasgow married Margaret Eadie 30 May 1817. John's parents were John Kerr and Margaret Hutchinson. Eadie is my great grandmother's name. Coincidently I am looking for Flemings, from the Lanarkshire area. My great aunt Margaret Douglas married James Fleming ( born abt 1850) in 1871 in Carnwath. They are in the 1881 census in Calton,Lanarkshire-James Fleming was the informant on the Death Cert. of my gg grandmother, who was Askine or Erskine Fulton Douglas (Depending on birth info or death info.) I haven't found the parents of James. I was today, in fact going on ScotlandPeople to look up the marriage. Also still living in Coatbridge is my cousin who married Jemima Fleming in 1951. Your Fleming name is likely through marriage. I have not done a lot of work on my Renfrew Lines -I also have a cousin researching in Renfrew and will pass your email on to her. Robbie you don't mention any dates and that would be a help. Let me know if we connect with Fleming and send me some dates in Renfrewshire, and who knows. I have had a lot help from Message Boards, and have lots of people to thank for helping me. Best Regards, Elizabeth Jane Douglas Frederick researching FREDERICK,DOUGLAS,FULTON,McLEES,LANG,LYLE AND LOOKING FOR LOOKING FOR (LOCHIEL CAMERON -perhaps still living-served in the merchant marine in the 1940's and always wore a kilt)

Hi Leona, I am afraid I won't be much help to you, I not sure I have all my Paul's in a row. I have seen the names you mention in different batches and films, but they have, at the present time no meaning to me. I put my Paul line away for about 2 years, there were just too many to sort out and they all have the same forenames. I you come across a Paul-Patterson connection or Paton, get in touch with and I will try to sort it out. I worked on Langs and Pauls for about 4 hours today and did not accomplish alot.

Hello Elaine, I have no connection to your LANG/PAUL family as far as I know, however did take a look at them in the 1881 census and on the IGI and there are two marriages dates and places on the IGI which differ by exactly two years - and both extracted records! Assume you probably already know of this. You mention you have found two children, John and Margaret. There are two on the IGI, a Margaret Brown (born 1858) and an Elizabeth Blair (born 1863). I guess the "Elizabeth Blair" would suggest perhaps your John Lang was indeed the son of of William Lang and Elizabeth Blair. His age and place of birth in the 1881 census support you there as well. Do you have them in the 1881 census? If not I'll send you the details. It shows them with their neice, Mary Lang, aged 13 born Glasgow, living with them. best wishes, Andrew. >From: "Elaine" <dear@mts.net> >Reply-To: SCT-RENFREW-L@rootsweb.com >To: SCT-RENFREW-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [Renfrew] surname interest >Date: Sun, 4 May 2003 14:47:40 -0500 > >Hi Andrew, I have a John Lang born 3 Sept.1826 in Houston,Renfrew married >Mary McGill Paul, in 1844 in Erskine,Renfrew-they had 2 children that I >have >found so far John Lang 1856 and Margaret Lang 1858-I believe John's parents >were William Lang and Elizabeth Blair of Kilmalcolm, Renfrewshire, let me >know if we connect. >Regards,Elizabeth _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail now available on Australian mobile phones.

Hello Everyone Just a quick note to tell you that when you get a query for a name and you don't think it is yours,read it anyway,because this is what happened to me about two weeks ago.I was about to hit the delete when for some reason I decided to finish reading it. As it turned out there were a lot of names at the bottom of the letter being researched and one of them was in my paternal line. I sent off a query to that person and although she couldn't match us up right away she gave me the name and address of a person who appeared to be in my line, and sure enough we are cousins ! Kind Regards Elizabeth wehc@sprint.ca Names being researched are MACDONALD,McDONALD,KERR,KEIR,CARR,McCULLOCH, mostly in Renfrew,and Lanark, but could be anywhere in Scotland ! Also DUNCAN,GILLESPIE,BENNIE,BINNIE,BAIRD,MAXWELL,and SINCLAIR,mostly in Stirling, Midlothian,and West Lothian,but again they could be anywhere in Scotland !

Elaine I read your surname interest on the Renfrew list. I have a Lockhart Paterson born 1829 Paisley (father:Thomas, mother: Isabell Paton) married to a David Auld born 1825 Paisley (father: David,mother:Agnes) in 1850 in Paisley. Have you any data about this Paterson group?

Andrew, I've been watching your Lochhead enquiries. My knowlege of a Lochhead Family in Paisley is as follows.....,neighbours, way back in the 50s & 60s in Greenock Road , Paisley. James and Elizabeth Lochhead had four sons, Jim b. about 1936, Alastair b. about 1938 , John b. perhaps 1942 and Sandy b. around1947. They had a Taxi business before Elizabeth was widowed. Her last known address was number 19 of that road. Perhaps another shot in the dark...but probably could be found in a Trades Directory for those years. Indeed you could try contacting by email to locstud.els@renfrewshire.gov.uk they might well be able to help you with this....or with the Dan Lochhead guy at the Paisley Express Offices.

If anyone on the list has the MI books for Renfrew I would be extremely grateful if they could look in them for a John LANG who died in 1853 or 1854. He was a farmer in Houston and is probably buried in Kilmacolm (pr Kilmalcolm?) or Houston. His wife was Margaret Paterson. I have the books for the counties of Kinross and Berwick if any look ups in these could help anyone.
