Thank you to everyone who has helped me. I have now started on piecing everything together.
       My GGG Grandfather's " nick" name was "Certain"- does anyone know what that refers to? Was he always right?
            Thanks, Heather

For what it's worth - and I know this will probably sound a bit twee - but my mother's family come from Ardrishaig in Argyll. My maternal grandmother could speak a bit of gaelic and often referred to my older brother as Gille Dubh (Dark Lad) and me as Balachan Ban (Little Fair haired Lad) - my head features rather less hair these days unfortunately.

Hi Doddie,  Smiley
      Thank you for your reply. It would be handy to speak and understand Gallic

   Sorry Doddie for my spelling. I meant Gaelic. How stupid of me.
