Stanners/Mccallum

[meggy1]

oh that's confusing!! I'll try and find record of his birth. Thankyou.

You may be better having a look for his death as it will show his age and also his parents names

I can't find him in 1871 so he probably died between 1861-1871

Any more info on the Stanners side? I've got Stanners in my tree going back to Malcolm Stanners in the 1700s. Also try looking under Carriden parish instead of Bo'ness. Carriden, adjacent to Bo'ness, seems to be a place where the Stanners name was prevalent.
Good luck!

Hi, Yes there are lots of Stanners around the area! It gets confusing! Both sides of my mother's family have the Stanners name which doesn't help. Have only got back to 1837 when Gilbert Stanners m Janet Williamson. I know a lot of them are buried in Bo'ness cemetery including Christina Stanners nee Mccallum. I'm currently following her line back to Argyll. I also have the name Bell in my tree, also from Bo'ness and Carriden area. Thanks for the good luck!

From the family group you will also see that Malcolm and Agnes also had a son called Malcolm - one of his descendants married my Granny's sister.

Hope this makes sense? You will have to cross-check with Scotlandspeople to be absolutely certain mind. I've seen a lot of stuff on LDS that is inaccurate.

Hi, thankyou for that info! I'll do the checks with Scotlands People.

A bt morbid but I reckon this could be one of your relations as well:

Apart from the obvious, it shows that Thomas and Christina were staying at Hopeton Terrace, Bo'ness in 1916.

Hi, was wondering if you know if there's a connection between these Stanners and Helen Finlay Stanners who married John Thornton Bell in 1872 in Carriden? Her father was Walter Stanners and mother was Helen Finlay - my gt gt grandparents on the Bell side. So many Stanners!!

I can't find him in 1871 so he probably died between 1861-1871

Hi, thanks for your help - I found record of his death in 1877, age 108!
