Looking for info on Galbraiths from Greenock, Scotland.

Have a few details, from BMD's from James Watt Library here in Greenock but very little else.

My Gran on my Dads side was a Galbraith and her father was John H Galbraith as was his father.

Can trace the line back to William Galbraith (b) c1800 who married a Margaret Hunter, in or around the Greenock area.

Would love to hear from those descended from the Galbraiths or know of family linag.


Hi Grianaig

This is what is called a BINGO!

That GALBRAITH / HUNTER combination in Greenock caught my eye.

A great friend of mine connects into the same couple via the brother of John H GALBRAITH, - William Hunter GALBRAITH b. 11Aug1827 in Greenock.  Sadly, she passed away a couple of months ago, but I bet she's up there grinning away at locating yet another cousin!

See my PM for more details.

Hi grianaig
I think the only way to fill in the blanks
is to either get the certs from SP or
try finding them on the censuses
SP isn't really that expensive
it works out at about £1.20 per cert
I dont have any at the moment but will see what I can find

Hi Sarah
Great to hear from someone who is distantly related. I'm connected to the Galbraiths through my parental Grandmother Hannah Harrison Galbraith (1923-1999). Who was related to Willam Hunter Galbraith (1827-1906).

I found myself at obstacles as I wasn't sure of any of his siblings died at a young age, married or emigrated. At least now I can fill in a few blanks. Do you have any docs for Janet? would you be able to scan/photocopy and forward them? if so my e-mail addr is: (*)

If you need any docs then I can send copies of those that I have, mostly obtained from Scotlandspeople.

Have you ever been in contact with others from the Galbraith family? had only had contact with one other peron who sadly passed away last year. A lady by the name of Catherine Murray in the USA.

Hope to hear from you soon and many thanks again for getting in contact.

Best Regards
Iain
