Hi Throth,

Thanks for all that information.  Photos of the MI's would be amazing if you have them.  Thank you!!

Hi Andrea!  Yes, I sure am in Brisbane   Are you in Australia too?

I think I'm making some sense of it all slowly.  For some reason I had that Alexander was born in 1833 and not 1827.  This confused me when i kept seeing Thomas b1833.  I can't find any information on a death of Thomas b1833 but it would almost certainly be the case seeing as your ggrandfather was named Thomas in 1840.  I also have a copy of the monumental inscriptions at Blair Athol church which say that Thomas McNab died in infancy and that Alexander McNab died in Brisbane in 1844 ages 57 years - so this fits with the date of 1827.  All those numbers can make your head spin!

I notice that you don't have a Jane listed in your original post - the inscription information i have lists under children a Jane Mcnab died at Chester 30 July 1881, aged 42 years.  Do you have any record or her?

Did you manage to go back further than Robert's father Robert b1857?

Hi everyone!  Ive just found this post so hopefully some of you might still be active on here.  My 3rd great grandfather is Alexander McNab b1827 m Isabella Low and then her sister Jane Low after Isabella passed away.  I'm currently researching Alexanders father Robert Stewart McNab b1791 and his wife Isabella MacGlashen b1798. 

If anyone has any information they'd be willing to share on either of these two....or any other related mcnab's for that matter it would be greatly appreciated.  Likewise im happy to share anything i have that may be of use to anyone....my line of descent goes Robert b1791 --> Alexander b1827 --> Alexander b1862 --> Arthur Bruce b1887 --> Alan John b1927 (my grandfather).

Sarah - seems like we come down the same line.  your ggrandmother Evelyn was my ggrandfather Arthur Bruce's sister.

Thanks
Beck
