McNab
« on: Friday 30 October 09 13:31 UTC (UK) »

Hi I have been searching for years and finally found where my ggrandfather came from in Scotland. I was just wondering if there is anyone researching this family as well, as I'm sure there are McNabs in the same area still. The spelling of some names is dubious as they always misspell one or the other.

Robert McNab…b. 1757 B. Perthshire.
Son:
Robert McNab…..b 1792 Blair Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland
Flesher(Butcher) in 1841 Fender Bridge Blair Atholl, later Agricultural Labourer.

Wife: Isabel McGlashan b. 1798 Blair Atholl.

Children:-

John Stewart McNab b. 1819

Robert McNab b. 1821

Peter McNab b. 1823  M. Catherine Robertson, children: Jane, George, John, Thomas & Christina, & Charlotte from previous marriage.

Isobal McNab b. 1825

Alexander McNab b. 1827

James McNab b. 1830

Chirstain McNab b. 1831

Thomas McNab b. 1833… a brother who maybe died.

Thomas McNab b. 1839,  Born Blair Athol, Perthshire, Scotland. Married Leonora Warner Clarke 1872 West Derby, Liverpool. . Died Aged 77, 1917 (from old age) Wallasey, UK.  (My ggrandfather).

I would be grateful for any information.
Cheers
Andrea

I too am looking for information on the McNab family. In particular ...

Alexander McIntosh who was born about 1742-4, at Dull Perthshire Scotland and married on 8 April 1763, in Logierait, Perth, Grizel ( Grissel ) McNab, who was born on 18 March 1744 in Logierait Perth Scotland, and had issue a son John b. 9 May 1764 Moulin Parish , chr. 11 May 1764 at Dunkeld Perth. Grizel's parents were Adam McNab and Catharin ( Catherine ) Robertson.

John McIntosh, son of Alexander McIntosh and Grizel MacNab, b. 9 May 1764 Moulin Parish , c 11 May 1764 at Dunkeld Perth, alias Mackintosh, married 2 Feb, 1784, Isobel ( or Isabel ) Cameron b. 22 Aug 1764 and christened, Moulin Parish, 25 or 26 August 1764, daughter of James Camron ( or Cameron ) and Elspeth Fergusson. From this marriage there appears to have been five children, Isobel b. 19 Nov 1784, Patrick b. 15 January  1786, Alexander b. 14 September 1788, Janet chr. 02 September 1792 and William b. 30 December 1795, all in Moulin Parish.

Any information you have that may tie in the McNab lines would be helpful.

Hi,
I have seen Grissel mentioned on different sites, but I don't know if there is any connection. Have you emailed the North Perthshire Family History Society to see if they can help? I have all this information from them, they were most helpful.

Hi there

We are certainly distant cousins! From what you say, you are descended from Thomas McNab and I am descended from Peter McNab, born 1823, one of his brothers - the one who married Catherine Robertson.  Some of the details I have are as follows: I know that their father was Robert Stewart McNab, born 1791 or 2 in Moulin, Perthshire and married to Isabella McGlasson (sometimes written McGlashan) 23/8/1818 in Moulin. He died in Aldernaig in Moulin 21/1/1875. Isabella died in Aldernaig 29/11/1885.

This isn't an easy family to trace. I have gone further back, but some of the vital records are missing, so it is hard to get confirmation of my findings. The middle name of Stewart must come into it at some point further back. Hope this is of interest to you.

Hi,
I have had more information on the McNabs..do you have an email address I could send you info to?
I have been researching Peter's brothers, Alexander who came to Brisbane, and James who moved to NZ.
