Find Ancestors

Hi Dawn, If possible, I would appreciate you looking for the births of the following people : ESTHER GUNNING HERRON, born about 1851 in Ayrshire, Scotland. Her mother's name was also Esther and Gunning may have been her mother's maiden name but I don't know this for sure. Her father's name was David Herron, occupation tailor. HAMILTON WALDEN ( WALDON), born about 1842 in Scotland, possibly Ayrshire but I don't know this for sure either. His father's name was John Walden, occupation weaver. They married in Liverpool in 1868 and in 1871 were living with her mother Esther, her sister Isabella and brother Daniel. I hope this is enough information. Many thanks, Lilian

Hi Dawn Thanks again for doing the lookups could I please ask if you can do another one for the marriage of Agnes McDowall to John Hannah (Hannay) in 1844 in Kirkinner does it give there ages and parents names please Thank you Regards Margaret

Hi Dawn Thank you so much for the trouble you went to to look up Malcolm and Catherine, I really appreciate it. I will look at it after New Year which is in 3 1/2 hours ! Happy New Year ! Robyn NZ

Hi Dawn, Another lookup if I may please, when you have time. I would like to confirm the marriage of JOHN MACKIE to MARGARET MELVILLE in 1857 at Dalry, Ayrshire. Any children of the marriage would be great as I only have those born in Australia. Heather in Oz

Hi Dawn Sorry I havent thanked you sooner for your reply on 29th Dec. It really helps me and the second Adam Tait was the one I suspected I was looking for. Thanks again Graeme

Hi Dawn, Thank you anyway. Laurie

Hello Dawn Thank you very much for your kind offer. Would it be possible to check for a marriage please about 1795 +/- 2 years for Alexander KILGOUR/KILGORE/KILGOWER and C/Katherine STEWART/STUART? Their first 2 children Agnes and George were born in 1797 and 1800 and christened at Kinnoul. Perthshire and their younger daughters Catherine and Cecilia were christened at Forteviot, Perthshire in 1802 and 1804 respectively. The records for the children are on the IGI but there is no sign of the marriage of Alexander and Catherine. Thank you for your help. Kind regards and God bless you, Lynne New Zealand

Sorry to be a pain Dawn and I do really apreciate your help. Would you please look for a Margaret Pagan b1787 Scotland. Dont know where. I got the Family Tree Maker Delux for christmas and there are some Scottish records on there. If I can return the favour and search for you on there I will. Dont know what I will find as it seems to be very random.Nothing for me so far. Gloria

GLORIA LYNCH Hi Gloria I found 3 possibles for Agnes, sorry I couldn't narrow it down for you. Hope one turns out to be yours. Dawn :-) AGNAS PAGAN, ch 19 Oct 1749, Govan, Lanark, Father DAVID PAGAN, Mother JEAN GEBBIE AGNES PAGEN, ch 26 Jan 1752, Muirkirk, Ayr, Father WILLIAM PAGEN, Mother CHRISTAN BEGG AGNESS PAGAN, ch 19 Jan 1752, Glasgow, Lanark, Father WILLIAM PAGAN, Mother MARGARET MAXWELL

GLORIA LYNCH Hi Gloria The only Grace that came up on my records was born in 1850. Sorry I couldn't be of help. Dawn :-)

ROBYN MCNIE Hi Robyn I have the same problem, 4 generations that have the same name as my father, so I get totally confused which one I'm talking about sometimes. Anyway I had a bit better success this time. I found Duncan's christening, which I didn't know if you had or not. Also 4 siblings for him. DANIEL MCNEE, ch 29 Apr 1792, Balquhidder, Perth JOHN MCNEE, ch 23 Mar 1794, Kincardine, Perth PETER MCNEE, ch 13 Dec 1795, Kincardine, Perth DUNCAN MCNEE, ch 20 Aug 1797, Kincardine, Perth ELISABETH MCNEE, ch 12 Jan 1800, Kincardine I wasn't able to find any trace of a marrige between Malcolm and Catherine. As for tracing Catherine's birth/christening, there were loads born around1760s/1770s time in just Balquhidder and Kincardine, so would be impossible to narrow down for you. As for Malcolm, I did find 2 possibles for him. Sorry I couldn't narrow it down to just one for you. MALCOM MCNIE, ch 29 Nov 1776, Balquhidder,Perth, Father ALEXANDER MCNIE, Mother CARMICHAEL MALCOM MCNIE, ch 13 OCT 1784, Balquhidder, Perth, Father DUNCAN MCNIE, Mother JANET MCGRIGOR Hope that you find the info helpful and take care in those tropical storms. Hopefully they won't last too long. Today we've got heavy rain, so back to typical British weather!!! Take care and have a great New Year. You know where I am if you need further help. Dawn :-)

Hi Dawn Thanks for your kind offer. Hope your pregnanacy is going well now. Please could you look up Esther WILSON born in Portobello, Edinburgh to James & Jane WILSON in 1808/9. Many thanks Regards Evie

Hi Dawn! Im looking for some more information on a Donald Campbell and an Anne Aberach Mackay I know that they had at least 4 children William 1789, Janet 1786, Johanna 1796, and Christian 1783 all born in Reay, Caithness, but this is as far back as I am able to get, with reagard to their parents names dob etc. Best Wishes Keiley

PATSY ANN Hi Patsy Ann Sorry there was no trace of any of these people anywhere in my records. I check back an extra 20 years for each of them. Sorry that I was unable to help. Good luck with your search. Dawn :-)

I may be able to connect to somebody elses tree if you can find the parents of Agnes Pagan b 1751 possibly Muirkirk area or Lanarkshire. She was married to Hugh McKerrow. Thanks Gloria

NORMAN STONEY Hi Norman I had a look for Jessie for you and found two in Ayr, late 1840's but neither were in Catrine. Sorry about that. Get back to me when you have some rough dates and I'll give it another go for you. Dawn :-)

KAREN MCCORMICK Hi Karen I'm afraid that I won't be able to help with your search as my records only go up to 1854. I did have a look just in case, as some areas go a little later, but for births/christenings and that name just up to 1854. Sorry I couldn't be of help. Dawn :-)

TONY HUGGINS Hi Tony I came up with 20 possibles for Thomas just between 1850 and 1856, so unable to narrow it down. It looks like I've had better success with Margaret. This looks very much like her. If so, also found her parent's marriage, 2 siblings, her Mum's possible christening, her parent's marriage and 4 of her siblings. Hope that you find the info helpful.
