Someone (Fergie? Pat?) had Stalkers and Fergusons in this area in this tree - here is a pic I found on my pc, taken at Kincardine in Menteith cemetery. Why I took it I cannot imagine!
Val ;D

Hi Val - yes you are right the Stalker are connected, but as have all my files packed ready to move cannot put my finger on it as yet !!!!. Will probably be off line for the next (whenever) they say 4 to 10 working days, will sort it out when I get back on line.
Take care...Pat

True.
I have a Christian Ferguson born in Robertson Lane in 1838 who then becomes Catherine and even Katherine but then I lose track of her.
-
Would anyone care to do a look-up on the above Christian Ferguson. I have often wondered about just who she was and her parentage.
Would be greatful for any results
Cheers.

ev
ps looking at death index on SP christina stalker 1864 kincardine perth b.c1823

Thank you ev.
The dates rule out Christian as part of my family tree. My Christian/Catherine was born in 1838 (100 years before me :))
I had hoped that there was a connection and even the names of the children are all 'family' names.
She might turn out to be there somewhere but not in the 'main line'.
Thank again.
Cheers.
Fergie.

hi patvp :)
george stalker summers lane kincardine is listed as a widower in 1881
he also has a daughter christian stalker age 16
had a look at the IGI and there is a christina stalker born about 11th may 1864
kincardine by doune parents george stalker and christina ferguson
so it looks like george's wife died shortly after giving birth
why the death maiden name is forsyth and not ferguson i have no idea ???

Hi Ev - Still does not explain why I cannot find a death on SP for Christian Stalker m.s. Ferguson in 1864, it's on the MI but have tried every which way and have only come up with the two already listed..really was hoping that the death cert would give us her parents name etc..will keep trying but am running out of alternatives ;D
Regards Patvp

Just in case it helps anyone to know the gaelic form of the name here is an excerpt from "In Famed Breadalbane" by Wm Gillies - chapter on Breadalbane surnames
STALKER. G. Mac-a'-stalcair. 1565, James, Ardeonaig; 1621, Finlay Dow, Crannich; 1638, John Dow, Crannich; 1644, John Dow, Kindrochit; 1763, Finlay, Keprannich.
James Mclnstalker, known as An Stalcair Bioch (The Brindled Stalker), was an agent of Colin Campbell, sixth laird of Glenorchy. He murdered Gregor MacGregor, son of James MacGregor, Dean of Lismore, in 1565. Soon afterwards he himself was slain by Gregor MacGregor of Glenstrae, at Ardeonaig.

patvp :)
the 1864 cert. for christina stalker
the forsyth name that is coming up on SP search is christina's mother's maiden
surname not her maiden surname
so it could still be her(although i dont know why ferguson is not showing for
other surname)
if you have already used 1 credit to look at the index does it show anything
for other surname ?

Hi
Are you still looking for info on this family. I think that I can fit them into my tree.
Was very interested to see headstone.

Nice to hear from a Cameron
The only Cameron connection I have is here on this chart.

I have a Ferguson connection from way back living at Queen St Stirling connected to my great great grand mother - a Janet / Jessie Ferguson born in Kilmadock / Doune around 1800-1826, and who married a Robert Graham
