Hi Hume,
 I have been going over the emails and I was wondering who it was that had the Cerebral Haemorrhage, was it John Lamont or Agnes.
Also was there a date for Williams death.

Sorry for a very late reply. I have just started doing some research.

  Hi Chezz I am William Cathcart Lamonts grandson, so I must be related to you.  I am from Greenock and I remember his death in 1972.  I have some History that you may not be aware of: William Cathcart Lamont had 4 sons, William, Joseph, Patrick and John and 2 daughters, Eleanor and Agnes, there were 8 grandchildren, 6 in the UK and 2 in Canada, (John and Joseph Lamont).  He was in the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders at Gallipoli and lost a leg in action.  I was aware that there was an Australian connection, but was unsure of the detail, I have done a little research as I have been doing business across AUS and I though I might meet up with a long lost relative.

Anyway if you want more details, photographs etc, please contact.

Hi Blakeneyhill,
I am so glad to hear from you,I have been trying to do the Lamont side of my tree and I keep coming to a dead end,I was looking for some one to help me find where my great grandfather John Lamont died.
I seem to have John older (my grandfather) than William C. Lamont would this be true.
The place we all came from is called Redfern,NSW,Australia,is this the area that you have been searching?
I would like to give you my email address but I don't think we are allowed to put it on here are we.
This is so great.
Chezz.

I have just started researching my Scottish heritage and my grandmother - Margaret Jardine nee McGuire (b. 1881) is the sister to your Elizabeth, I believe - same notations on death certificate.  I found Margaret Harkins ((?b.1855, Middle or New Parish Renfrew) father and mother Patrick Harkins and Margaret McKinnon)  marriage to a William McIlhenney (6Sep1869 High Church Glasgow) and they had two daughters Rose b. 2 July 1870, Greenock Renfrew and Mary b. 5 Nov 1873 Greenock Renfrew.

I was unaware of the Australia connection - Elizabeth would have been my great aunt - her nephew - my dad (James Jardine) came to Australia in about 1928 (18 years old approx).

I don't have any paperwork except the death certificate at this stage.

I should have added that I haven't found the link yet from McIlhenney to McGuire ?death ?divorce marriage?

Hi KAJ58,
I'm sorry but I don't think its the same family as I do not Have any Jardines in my family and Elizabeth's sister was Annie McGuire,and she married into the Bradbeer family.
I have John McGuire aged 36 Labourer,residence 34 Shaw Street,Greenock., married to Margaret McLLhenny(widow) aged 39 of the same address as John McGuire.
Margarets parents were John Harkins & Mary (Straine) Harkins.
John & Margaret Mcguire were married on 2nd Feb 1886 St; Lawrence Chapel,Cartdyke,Greenock.
John & Margaret had two daughters  Annie (maybe Anne) b.1887 died 1933 Australia & Elizabeth b.1889 died 1931 Australia, both born in Greenock.
Regards,
Chezz.
