Montgomery (or Montgomerie) family

[Liz C]

gnu - thanx ever so much!! In just a few short hours you've given me loads of info that either fits in with what Ive been told (not that much) or its stuff that I didn't know. My dad had a stroke 13 years ago and altho he loves this stuff he can't now tell me much - but he has confirmed a lot of what u say.
Im def gonna get myself thru 2 Edinburgh 2 have a look at the records there
 Thanx agen.
Anymore info will b greatly appreciated

Hi Liz

I just had a look on ancestry.co.uk and there is a family tree on there that matches your Montgomery or Montgomerie i think you should have a look at it.

It has Robert Montgomerie born 19 Apr 1823 in Irvine.
Marriage to Jean Banks Baillie on the 2 Aug 1846 in Irvine.
Death 1884 Irvine.
They have his parents as James Montgomerie and Elizabeth McCulloch.
If you search with the above info i hink you should find it easily you may need to register to have a look tho.

Hope this helps

Hi Liz 

Sorry not to get back straight away as I heard yesterday that a cousin had died earlier in the week.

I've done as much to my trees as I can at the moment so I try to help others. I also have an interest in coalmining and the SW of Scotland.

I've now gone back 4 generations on your Alexander  Montgomery line  (to circa 1760 in places) but I'm trying to get it all together as I've followed all his lines back(28 ancestor, I think!). I've got back to Kilmory, Bute on Catherine Walker's line 

I'll put up all the details tomorrow or Monday.

Ps - Hazel - the death cert has Robert's mother as Agnes McCulloch  and the baptism has  Elizabeth . I'm doing a check on the tree as many of the Ancestry ones are a wee bit out and shouldn't be taken 'as is'.

gnu
really sorry 2 hear of your loss. dont rush 2 get the info on here 4 me - ur own personal stuff comes 1st.
Im still totally in awe of the info you've given - Ive worked out  (with you giving the info obviously) that there wasnt a James Montgomery 4 nearly 200yrs. My brother (who I wont name but it is one of the common fam names) had a wee boy in 1990 who he called James (Robert) but he only lived 4 5months & it was really nice 2 c a James down the line. Thanx agen.
Best Wishes
