Re: Dumfries missing link.....

David! I hope this may reach you! This is Jenny Blain here, I'm at your cousin Margaret's and we were just talking about you and McNaughts and Kilgours, and I went online to see if I could find a tree for a relative of Margaret who's been asking about her family... Do you have an updated tree that I...

Re: Blain family Greenock .....

Thanks Andrew. He could not be part of my father's immediate family, and if there is any connection it could be some generations back. But as said intriguing.

Re: Blain family Greenock .....

That is very interesting. What is the date on the postmark? I couldn't make it out...
My Blains in Greenock were not the only ones there, but it is intriguing and I'd be very interested to learn more on this. Also, Ardgowan Street rings a bell.

Re: Muiravonside and Linlithgow people - Whytes and Boyds et

Hi Barbara. The ship list is imaged at http://immigrantships.net/jacobite/graphics/goodspeed17160714_source.jpg - you probably already have this. However, it seems to me that there may be some conflation of various 'H White' names happening here - I wouldn't think that the Hugh White son of the Pres...

Re: 1684 OPR Birth Record Help

Also 'tua' for two.

Hi Montrose, Richard Carse (Cas Cass Cars etc) was the father of the first Mark. They are an interesting family - lawyers and burgesses in Edinburgh, and Mark became the agent for Ker of Lothian. They were landowners at Fordell, and then Mark was given Cockpen. His grandson or g-grandson finally sol...
