Lanarkshire / Weir or De Vere of Blackwood and Weir of Cathcart
« on: Friday 25 June 21 15:45 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have information which would allow me to link the Weirs of Blackwood with the Weirs of Cathcart (Weir Pumps fame) and if there is a clear genetic link between the Lanarkshire Weirs?

Angus (Forfarshire) / Sir Malcolm Ramsay and Agetha Ogilvy
« on: Friday 13 March 20 21:56 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching my Family Tree which includes connections to the Ramsay family; in particular the Ramsays of Auchterhouse in Angus.

Several sources of information points to the husband and wife having the same parents!
Does anyone have information which will confirm or otherwise their parenthood.

Sir Malcolm Ramsay 1325 – 1365 (Hereditary Sheriff of Forfar) married Agathe Ramsay of Auchterhouse (born Ogilvy) 1329 – 1365

They both are reported to have the same parents i.e. Henry Ramsay 1300 – 1341 and Ella Ramsay (born House) 1302 – 1338

Any help in tracking down the correct parentage would be appreciated.

Midlothian / Duncan and Mary Weir - Kirknewton
« on: Thursday 17 December 09 19:32 GMT (UK)  »
I seem to have come to a halt in sourcing information on Duncan Weir who married Mary Dummock or Dimmock around 1825 - 1837 in the Kirknewton area.

They had a son (my great, great grandfather) David Weir born ca 1837 in Kirknewton. I am keen to establish more in the Weir line but there does not appear to be a great deal of information on Duncan and Mary beyond their mention in David Weir's death certificate.

Any information on their origins and other siblings would be appreciated.

Thanks

Angus (Forfarshire) / Jemima Ferguson (nee Kennedy)
« on: Sunday 13 December 09 15:55 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on the birth and marriage of Jemima Kennedy married to Henry Ferguson. I have details of her death in 1869 but nothing before that. She originated in the Liff & Benvie area and resided in Dundee at the time of her death.

Any info would be most welcome.
