Has anyone ever come across, during their research - or in their own family tree - the surname MCAULEY. There seems to be so many different ways of spelling it, MCAULLEY, MACAULAY..... I believe the family lived in Westcalder from 1800 onwards & would be very interested to hear if anyone has come across a link, either during their research or in their own tree.
I beleive this line originally came from Lanarkshire in the late 19 century, but have been unable to prove it.
i have an elizabeth macaulay married to a james henderson in east calder,she was born around1825 ,her father was robert her mother ann,she died june 1886,dont know much else as i havent looked too far in that direction,dont even know if the same ones as you are researching,im new to all this
I don't think that your Elizabeth is related, unfortunately. John MacAulay was born 1807 in Lanark & married Margaret Forrester. They had at least 3 children - Margaret, Alexander & John, however the first 2 died, quite young, without marrying or having any children. John moves to Whitburn & marries Margaret Pender 02/07/1869 - they have 6 children William, Elizabeth, James, Jane white & John Ferguson.
Good luck on your research, if you discover anything interesting let us know.
