hi all , i will confess i am very new to all this family history stuff, my daughter loves the tv program who do you think you are , and from that i started digging my dad for info , he's a mine of information and for ever recalling his younger days but i hdnt ever (god forgive me) paid much attention.
the conenction to the hamills is i think marriage or second cousins ...anyone knowing duntocher knows that nearly everyone of the orignal villagers is realted in some way ...i do know if its the same hamills it was hughie and pat ..who was glagow chief constable for awean of years ...i think his wife is a second couysin of the carey's..
but bear with me now ive found this site its mad me more determined to dig and record all the more..
i stumbled across a website called http://www.myheritage.com/
and from it downlaoded an excellent wee program that creates records the family tree...that can be uploaded to the web
well cheers the noo
harry

hi again all,
what ive gathered , morrison the butchers shop was on the main street near where the post office used to be , it was johnny morrison snrs shop he was a councillor in the town along time ago and in fact morrison street is apparently named after him...his son johnny took over the running of the shop and eventually many years later it was bought over by rodgers the butchers , they kept the shop going until a few years ago. my great grandads bakery would have been across the road , where he wooden cafe is now located.
as for the name mochan , my wife informs me that if its the family mochan that had a janitor tommy in it she is in fact related on to them through her fathers side , he is a mcmahon but not from the village originally clydebank.
cheers the noo
harry

I think most of us are guilty of that! Oh how I wish I could ask my Mam & Dad some questions now.
Re: Hamill - Hugh Hamill married Annie Mochan, 1890. They had 10 children, including a Hugh born 1900. I don't have much info on their children, but more than likely the name Hugh kept popping up.
How are you on Stewarts? Know many of them? My Mam used to say "if you threw a stone in Duntocher you're sure to hit a Stewart."

Hi Harry,
It's not so much the "passed" Stewarts I'm looking for right now, more the present. Long story - condensed version - my Mam, Christina (Stewart) Cuthbertson took a photo with her when she visited Duntocher in the 1980's. The photo was of my Uncle Tommy Stewart & his greyhound(s). Mam gave it to one of Tommy's sons. I'd dearly love to have a copy (I grew up with that photo!) and my dear cousin, John Stewart was going to try and track it down for me. Tragically John passed away last December. If you know any of Tommy's family - Barney, John, Hugh - could you mention me (and the photo) please?

Hello, Im helping my mum try and retrace her family history, she was born in Duntocher, her name was Margaret Morgan. Her Father was Aurthur Morgan born in 1924 in Duntocher and his parents were Patrick Morgan and Jessie Black. We are hoping to find out if they were born in Duntocher, we gues it would have been around the late 1800's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jo x
