Hi Sheila

Haven't had a chance to get back to the family tree for a while.   We had a small reunion last weekend (the cousins from Archibald's side - John & Elizabeth McGregor's son) and I was wondering if you would possibly have any old photos of either your side of Daniel/Donald McGregor or any of his siblings. 

I am still trying to track down Jessie/Jemima.  There is a witness by the name of Jessie McGregor to my grandfather's (Archibald) wedding certificate (John & Elizabeth had Archibald who married Beatrice Maud Minnie Greentree).

If you have any old photos that would be great.  I will send you shortly a photo of John McGregor & Elizabeth Blaik and children but I want to check that I have named the children in the correct order first.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Janet

Dear Janet,

I believe that your grandfather Archibald and my grandfather John were brothers, the sons of John McGregor and Elizabeth Blaik.  Do you happen to have any information on when John arrived in Australia, and on what ship?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Mary

Hi Janet,

Great to hear from you. I'm unable to respond to you on page you sent your message. My grandfather was John George (three siblings in between him and your grandfather). I am in Queensland. Another means to share personal info would be very good.

I'm trying to trace my great grandfather, Daniel Alexander MacGregor, who was born in Resolis in 1853, the son of John MacGregor and Ann Ross. He was a blacksmith who later moved to the Shetland Islands and married Elizabeth Sinclair. Any info anyone might have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sheila

Hello, George,
My apologies for the delay, but this is not a board I have been on for years! Was your ancestor the John McGregor who married Elizabeth Blaik?  I knew that one branch went to Australia, and mine went to Shetland.  John and George's father, John, died in Cullicudden, so I assume he is buried in the local churchyard, but I can't say for sure. I checked his death certificate, but it doesn't provide any info on burial.
Kind regards,
Sheila
