Scotland / Re: Mackintosh family tree's

Sorry to have aroused some interest and then be a bit erratic in coming on here, I'm not ignoring you, honestly - I'm back at Uni today, after a very busy weekend of meetings and sick children! I went to look where I thought I had stored various documents (electronically) and work I did on the family tree last year to link the Edinburgh Mackintoshes to the rest, and I can't get into the account where I think they are - I'm trying to track down some emails that helped me get to that point at the time, but haven't got there yet as they are also in an old email account. So....a bit useless, and nothing to update you on!

The good news is that I have started a new project at Uni today and I am doing something which will allow me to spend a fair bit of time on the computer doing more family research, and yet I can still call it coursework! Hopefully I will be able to crack the code of the account I can't get into, and dig out the info.

Hello McTosh

I'm sorry for the confusion, you are quite correct - it should be Robert, that's them, I put the wrong name as there are so many Johns in the line I had forgotten he was a Robert!

The story actually comes from two places, as another man who is also distantly related told me (when discussing the family tree) a very similar version which had been passed on verbally in his family - so I think it is very likely to be true. I don't think the brother called Lachlan came to England, as there is a death of someone likely to be him in Edinburgh, but the one called Nicol never crops up anywhere - maybe he died young, or maybe he moved to Northumberland and changed his name. All interesting stuff, just wish I had more time to look into it. Might get a moment later on once I get this mob of current day family sorted out!

Thank you - I've never had a pm before so I'm not sure why the box is full, I haven't worked out how to get to it yet actually!
No, I've not investigated James and Ann really, but I have seen details of the marriage of John Mackintosh's father John to Euphame in Edinburgh. She appears to have come from Orkney, but knowing her and her father's name doesn't help much as there are LOADS of people with the same names in the same place.
It is possible that John snr ( the Edinburgh one) is the merchant mentioned on the internet as winning the "Edinburgh Arrow" archery prize, but of course he may not be. Still lots to find out.

Hello

I will enjoy having a read through all this information - James Mackintosh (Wolsingham) was my G G G Grandfather. I have got one bit of info that might be on here, (I haven't had time to read everything yet, sorry!) but from family stories that I have researched, it seems that John, who is James' father was born in Edinburgh in 1743 (parents John Mackintosh and Euphame Johnstone of Orkney) ran away to England with one of his brothers, or possibly a friend not a brother, to avoid being deported for poaching! This is how this particular group of Mackintoshes ended up in England, so I'm told. I find all this stuff fascinating.  :)
