Ballantines in Ayrshire and Lanarkshire
« on: Monday 18 May 09 17:37 UTC (UK) »
Hi.
I am the descendant of Robert Ballantine (b1838 in Kilmaurs) He married Mary Miller in Kilmarnock in 1868 and promptly moved to Canada to join his brother John(b1836) who had married Janet Barclay and moved to Canada in 1865. They lived in the Galt, Preston (now Cambridge) area of Ontario. In 1870 Robert and Mary moved to accept a land grant in Muskoka Ontario and started a village called Grassmere. Roberts parents were Thomas(b1805 in Old Monkland Lanark) and Susanah Strachan(b1811 in Riccarton Ayr) They were married in 1829 and she had 6 living children. Thomas died in 1876 in Dreghorn and Susanah died in Dreghorn in 1889. we also know that Thomas' parents were John and a Janet Johnston who were married in Muirkirk Ayr in 1798.
Does anyone know of this family?
If you are researching them as well or have information regarding them, please reply
Thanks Mac
