Hay Family from Cummingston
« on: Sunday 12 June 11 02:51 BST (UK) »
 :)My grandmother was Jane McPherson Hay although she went by the name Jean. She was born in 1891 in either Nairn or Cummingston. Her parents were James Hay born 1863 and Jane McPherson Hay born 1864. I believe that Jane McPherson Hay's parents were William and Isabella from Hopeman. My grandmother had an uncle George Steven born 1853, a brother Robert, born in 1888 that died Sept 4th 1918 in WW1,{ I believe that my great uncles name is on a WW1 war monument in Cummingston},  she had sisters Isabella born 1889, Elizabeth born approx 1890 and Willimina born approx. 1900. My grandmother had a niece Jessie that moved to Canada as well. I believe they lived in a long cobblestone house that still stands in Cummingston. {thank you google street view} as I have many pictures of my grandmother and her family at that house.

My grandmother had many aunts and uncles in the area as well as other siblings that I am trying to confirm.... although I have been told that 4 died at birth. I have been searching for so long. I cant believe that they all just up and moved away. My grandmother travelled back to the area on a few occasions, I have many pictures to document family there.

Any help with information would be very much appreciated.  :) I have been searching a long time and Im getting discouraged.
Thank You, Amberglass :)

Pam, Thank you!

I knew that my GGF was a quarry master. The other things I didn't know though.  I do have census reports, but none that have shown me what you just did. I found passenger lists when my grandmother came over on the Caledonia etc but not too much info on family back home in Scotland.

I expected with a family that large, that there would be a lot of information out there.  :-\
I have a lot of pictures to share if I ever track down family members in that area. 

Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate the information you gave me.

Hi Pam,

My great Uncle "George Stephen", was a Hay born in 1851. He died in 1914.He was a brother to James {my grandmother's father} and son to George and Christine Hay. I have found quite a bit of information as well as photographs on him. He married Margaret McGillivray in 1880 and moved to New South Wales Australia. There is a wealth of information on that family line. A lot of family working on it right now, new information almost daily!

I am in need of information on a few of George and James's siblings. Girls, named May:1855 and Johann:1857 and a boy named Christopher :1865 ....and any others that I haven't found yet.

Thanks again for your help.
Amberglass :)
