Hi, just wondering if anyone has info? They are my great grandparents, from Carriden. I'm having trouble getting further back. Thanks!

Hi

We need christian names, birthyears, which surname was male and which was female

What info do you already have so we don't duplicate it

Hi, sorry, am new to this! Thomas Stanners born 5.3.1848 in Carriden married Christina Mccallum (1872) who was born in 1849 and died in 1946. I think she may have come from North Knapdale. Thankyou!

Janet is shown as Williamson in 1841 - living in Borrowstounness but still no Gilbert - I suspect he was a seaman of some description

The 1841 does not show relationships and ages from 16+ are rounded down to the nearest 5yrs

Hi, Yes that info matches mine! It's the Kilmartin family that I seem to be stuck on. Christina's parents were Neil Mccallum and Julia Campbell but they are such common names in the area! There's a death certificate for Julia recording that she drowned - not sure if this is the right Julia. Neil lived to 100years I think! Thanks for your help.
