My ancestors came to N.E. Eng. from Scotland. In an old letter that I have it is mentioned that a William or John came from Breadalbane castle where he was an Earl of Breadalbane castle. He eventually came to NBL county and he became a stone mason.Any info on the CARMICHAEL line would be appreciated. The earliest date I have is a marr. of John CARMICHAEL in Ancroft,Eng.in 1812. Betty CARMICHAEL P. Fl. USA

John. Thanks for that. There are some variations but RICKELTON is the spelling registered at the time of her marriage. Nonetheless, other routes will have to be followed or re-traced.

> Hello Mary Yes, I do live in Ontario. Lindsay, Ontario. I do have some of the forward information from Alexandria,Ontario...but not all of it...so any Ontario information, is an added bonus..and backwards from Scotland, would too be a bonus.. Thank You Edson

Hi Edson Shall I assume you are from Ontario or at least Canada? Having said that, have you looked up their death certificates to find their parent's names or any other family members (which you would have access to if you live in Ontario? If you do not live in Ontario and/or do not have this specific info, I could assist with that end. I trust you have the info from Alexander to present day.

I s there anyone who might have information on the ancestors of James and Margaret Gray, married in June, 1851 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland. They sailed for USA aboard the Anchoria in Oct. 1875 with their children: Margaret, Walter, Maria and either William or James.? Any information on family or direction in which to search, would be greatly appreciated. Carolyn Gray

Hi Everyone, My Agnes DOW was married to Alfred William JACKSON, an engine fitter. I don't have Alfred's year of birth but his wife Agnes was born in 1860. The Jacksons' address in 1901 (at the death of Agnes) was 112 New Keppockhill Road, Glasgow. I'd be very happy to hear from anyone with links. Joan Nova Scotia

Hello All, Francis Robbie GRAY was a tailor's shop manager and husband of Lily Edith (nee EUSTACE) according to Lily's death registration. I don't have Francis' year of birth but Lily was born c1897.

Hi, Hoping to make contact with anyone who might be researching or may have information concerning my g.g.g. grandparents, PATRICK and ELLINOR/ANN CASHIN DUCKETT and my g. g. grandparents, PATRICK ALEXANDER and CATHERINE MEARES DUCKETT. Any help will be most appreciated. Loretta Myrter U.S.A. myrt-1-2@penn.com

Looking for anyone researching RICHARDSON and ORD. These particular families, I believe, migrated to Northumberland England from Scotland.

Agnes RICKELTON, my g. grandmother, was born circa 1848 in AYR, this according to the 1881 census. I cannot find any record of her birth in Scottish Origins. She married James KERR (born in Lisburn, Northern Ireland circa 1839) on 25 December 1865 in the CALTON district of GLASGOW. According to her marriage certificate, her parents were James RICKELTON and Jane MURRAY. Agnes went to India with James, during which time she had three children, William John, Agnes Jane, Thomas (who apparently died on board during the passage home) plus finally, George Douglas, who was born in GOVAN. Does anyone have an interest in this name or any suggestions as to the lack of information on her birth. Thanks in anticipation. Bernard Kerr bernard@kalemar.freeserve.co.ok North Yorkshire, UK.

I am currently researching these names and would be interested in hearing from anyone with Orr-Shotts, Lanarkshire,Bothwell and Hamilton area. Hodgson in the Barrhead area. Milton in the Neilston area. Alison Sullivan

Hello Judy I am hoping that your McLeod family may in some way connect to the McLeod's on Stornaway. I had a great aunt who died a few years back in England her name was Dolina Stagg, her husband was William Henry Bristow Stagg who was killed in a motor bike accident in the early 1940's. The only information I have on Dolina was that after her death she was taken by Coast Guard back to Stornaway by her brother (name unknown) and buried with members of her family. I have never been able to gain any further information from the family who all seem to be in the dark as much as I. If you do come across anything I would appreciate hearing from you.

I don't know if your ROBERTSONS are mine. I can't seem to definately link my husband's grandmother HELEN NELSON ROBERTSON to any parents. Had a look up done in SRO and couldn't find a match with her middle name or birthdate of May 19, 1903. She gave Cowdenbeath as her last address in Scotland when she came to USA in 1923. Anyone who thinks they may have a connection I would love to hear from you. ALSO LOOKING FOR A LIST OF THE NAMES OF THE MEN WHO DIED DURING THE CONSTRUCION OF THE FORTH RAILWAY BRIDGE. Need lookup in Archives if some kind soul had a few minutes to spare while they are there. It is possible that one of Helen's relatives died during the construction of this bridge. She told her gandson that the person fell to his/her death. But a complete list may be the better way to go so that if I don't make a connection with the 5 who died from falling from this bridge. Thank you Cindy Elschide Northwest Indiana
