Hi Baz,

Can't tell you just how much I appreciate this, and this is also on behalf of my cousins, we are obviously no longer teenagers, and although I have completed our ancestry for Scotland, there are some things that would just be the icing on the cake, and talking to someone who knew of them would be it, and tell your friend I've learned to accept warts and all.
The other great thing would be finding where in Ireland they came from, but as this would mean going back to the late 1700's I doubt very much if I'm ever going to find out, though the search does go on! Die hard!
Many thanks again Baz, look forward to hearing from you.

Hi glencoe, have spoken to lady, but she does not remember anybody called Kiltie, but thinks there was a Garrity, one of whom was called Mariah or Margaret who had a bad leg. She will try and find out more from one of here friends, and let me know next week, and I will pass it on to you.

Just this minute been told that the Kiltie's were related to a family called Cashman.

[Glencoe]

Yes that's right, my aunt and uncle's surname is Cashman, do you know the family?

I have heard of the Cashman's, but don't know them personally(if it is the same Cashman)

Hi, Glencoe

Have just spoken to the women and they can't add anything more, but one of them will ask some more people she knows.

I did know a Jimmy Kiltie who stayed down the road from me(Low Road). He worked in the same pit as me(Killoch), and I think he was an ex-navy man. I don't think his wife was British, but that is all I know.

Hi Baz,

Tell them not to go to any trouble over this, I was just curious as to how they knew about the connection.  Jimmy was my grandmothers oldest brother, he was also a very keen golfer, his wife was Scottish Baz, I was just looking at his marriage certificate the other day, 1913, I was looking at the time for my Grandmothers marriage certificate to find out her address when she lived in King Street, 1915.

There were quite a number of Kiltie's lived in both King Street and Craigmiller Building, I found all this out while doing the family tree.
