Hello

I am trying to trace relatives of Christina Glass Gage who emigrated from Kirkcaldy, Scotland to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1930.

She was born on the 13 March 1892 in Helensburgh, Scotland and married William Shields on the 25 January 1918 in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.

William was born on the 14 July 1875 in Dunfermline, Scotland.

I am researching the Colliar family tree and Christina's mother was Isobel Taylor Colliar, father John William Gage.

Many thanks
Take care

Hi
I'm a newbie at this so please forgive any mistakes.

I posted the following thread under the Scotland/Fife board and was advised to post it here as well in the hope of gaining any new info.
my website is www.colliar.com for those interested.

**************************************************
I have researched as far back as Robert Colliar and Betty Dick from Auchterderran who had a son James in 1777.  James married Christina Penman and had a son William born in 1813 in Auchterderran.
William married Margaret Gibson in Ballingry in 1838 and they had 9 of a family:
James b. 1838 married Elizabeth Russell - their son William emigrated to Toronto/Ontario c.1913/1915
Mary b. 1840
William Gibson b. 1843 - had a child with Catherine Morris from Dalgety and then  married Margaret McDonald
David b. 1845 - married Christina Glass
Robert b. 1848 - married Catherine Irvine
Christina b. 1851 - married Robert Cunningham
Adam Bede b. 1854 - married Elizabeth Carr
Margaret b. 1856 - married Peter Arnot
George Tod b. 1861

I have branches from all the above lines except Mary, Margaret and George.

Their names appear in relevant Census of Scotland notes but except for Margaret who I know married Peter Arnot (who was killed in a mining accident 2 years after their marriage), I know nothing about them.

Given that I have information on the other branches, I now have over 1500 individuals linked to the Colliars - though any info on any lines greatly received - I would like to found out more about Mary and George.

There is a rumour within the family that George possibly went to Canada so it's a starting point.

Many thanks for any feedback, it will be much appreciated.
Take care
Donna

Hello All

I have been researching the Colliar family from Fife since 1989 as this is my father's line.

If anyone has any connection to this family I would be most grateful if they got in touch.

In particular I am looking for information on:
Mary Colliar b. December 1840 in Auchterderran and also
George Tod Colliar b. 1861 in Kinnaird, Cleish

I know that a few of my ancestors relocated to Canada and New Zealand and the spelling of the surname changed to Collier.

My website is www.colliar.com
Many thanks in anticipation

Take care
