Thank you for all the lair information.  John McNeil and Janet Reid were the parents of William, Janet Wilson, Violet Wright, and James McNeil.  I don't know of any connection to Waugh but might research that now.

After Annie Hill McNeil died, William married Catherine Smith and, after sadly losing 2 boys, they went on to have another 4.

 They were hard, sad times.

Best wishes, Pat Reid.

Hi, saw your post today about Hector McNeil.  Since posting the enquiry in 2007, I've found out more about the McNeil family.  Hector married Elizabeth Locke, they had three sons.  Would it be the same Hector?  Also, finally found out that Annie Hill was born in Ireland.  Best regards, Pat Reid.

Hi Margaret

I sent you an email the other day but, as I've not heard from you, I wondered if you email address had changed.    I just wanted to say I think I found Marion Ramage dau of Alexander Ramage, tailor.    I found a family tree linked to mine and there was a Marion Ramage married to Archibald Watson.     Marion Watson's DC gives parents as Alexander Ramage, Tailor and Janet Anderson.    She was still alive when Elizabeth Brown died.  Her info on census records states she was born in Peeblesshire.

Could this be our 3 x great grandmother?

Look forward to hearing from you.

best wishes

Pat

Hi Miska

Good to hear from you and it certainly looks like we are related to the same family.   I have Margaret Brown Watson's MC, DC (Marion Ramage recorded as deceased in 1896) and Margaret is on the 1851 census aged 32 in Carrington Primrose, which confirms states that she was born in Peebles, Linton.  The daughter Mary on that census return is my maternal great grandmother.

My email address is (*) and if you care to send me a quick email I will attach the certificates for you to have a look at by return.    I'd be happy to see any of Elizabeth's family certificates too.

I also wanted to ask if you knew any families named Chapman in West Calder before you moved to Australia.    My paternal grandmother was a Chapman and after her mother died, her father remarried and moved, I think, to West Calder.       There was Andrew, his second wife Mary and sons Andrew and George.    They may have had red hair as that seemed to be a Chapman trait.

Look forward to hearing from you again.

Best wishes

Pat :)

Dear Miska

I think we are descended from the same 3 x great grandparents namely Robert Brown and Marion Ramage.

I was browsing the internet tonight with family names, in particular my great great grandparents James Watson and Margaret Brown from Carrington Primrose, Midlothian and latterly Rosewell, Midlothian.     Margaret Brown's parents were also Robert Brown and Marion Ramage.   I had found their marriage certificate but hadn't been able to get back any further.

From the information contained in your posts I have retrieved the 1841 census return, Alexander and Mary's MC and the list of their family thus taking my family tree back another generation.   

Are you descended from Margaret Brown's sister, Elizabeth?    If so that would probably make us 4th cousins or something like that.

I live in Edinburgh, Scotland and would be happy to share any information I have.   I'd be interested to know if Margaret had any other siblings and any details about them which I might input into my tree with your consent.

With best wishes and looking forward to hearing from you.

Lanarkshire / Cambusnethan born descendants
« on: Sunday 06 May 07 17:09 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'm looking for any descendents of William McNeil and Annie Hill McNeil.   They were married in Cambusnethan, Wishaw in 1888.    William was a coal miner and they lived in Waterloo.     I have marriage certificates and death certificates for them but am particularly interested to find out where Annie Hill came from originally as I can't find her on any census forms in Cambusnethan between 1888 and 1909 when she died.

My family comes from their daughter Annie Hill McNeil who married William Reid in Edinburgh in 1926.

I'm also keen to hear from any of Annie's brothers or sisters descendents namely Hugh, Robert Henry, James, Janet, Jean or Hector.   There was a brother John but he died in infancy.    Hugh McNeil lived in Coalsnaughton I think and I know Jean died in Bellahouston in Glasgow aged 90.   James and Robert may have lived in the Edinburgh area but I don't know about Janet and Hector.

I'd be grateful for any information from anyone out there with any connections to the family.

Looking forward in anticipation for any information out there.

Best regards

Pat Reid
Edinburgh :) :) :)
