    1. Gloag Family Name
    2. Nick Leppard
    3. I am trying to find out more about my maternal grandmother's family line and wondered if some kind listers could help? Her maiden name was GLOAG and I have traced the line back to Andrew GLOAG born 1761. He died on 21st June 1844 at Linstock near Carlisle. A story I have been told is that 'he came down from the hills with the young pretender' but how true that is I don't know. He must have then settled down as he married Agnes GORDON on 2nd September 1793 and they had at least seven children. I've not been able to go back any further nor follow along other GLOAG lines very far. Does anyone have any links to the name or can tell me anything about the origin of the name GLOAG; another stonewall I have come up against. After Scotland the family slowly moved south through Yorkshire, Watford, Wembley and finally Kent where I now live. Any help would be much appreciated. Nick Leppard
