Hi Amondg

Thank you so so much for all the work you have done for me on this line of my family. Way more than I expected when I posted the excerpt from the will. You have given me a lot of leads to follow and I am hugely grateful for your support.

Take care

Wow!

Thank you for your quick replies. The Will is William Bennett's d 1857 Tormarton, Gloucestershire. The probate date is 23 September 1857.

Rutt Or Knee are the two names I had wondered about but I cannot find any marriage for Millicent Bennett to either a Knee or a Rutt and no  births so that didn't help work out which one.

I am so grateful for the help.

Regards

Hi

I have hit a bit of a brick wall with my Lamont family.

I have James Lamont and Janet McQueenie (married 1 August 1820 at Greenock)  with 3 daughters
1. Jean Young (jane) born 13 November 1821 at Greenock, Baptised 25 November 1821 West or Old Parish. She married Lachlan Duff. I have good detail on this family
2. Margaret born 4 May 1824 at Greenock, baptised 9 May 1824 Greenock
3. Isabella born 16 April 1826, baptised 23 April 1826 Greenock.

I have been unable to find any more details about this family and would be grateful for any ideas/support.

Thanks, stay safe

Hi Lyodia

Thanks for your message re Milhench family.

I have not done any work on this branch of my family for quite a while. I do have 3 Peter's in my tree but cannot at this stage connect them to a Janet.

My Milhench family stems from  Peter Milhench (B abt 1777 Wigtownshire) who married Jane McKenna (b abt 1788 daughter iof William and Jane McKenna). Peter and Jane had 5 children that I have been able to trace so far.

1. William b abt 1806 died January 1830 Mochrum.  Buried Mochrum churchyard

2. Jane b 11 December 1818, died 25 February 1906 Boghouse Cottage. Buried Mochrum. She married William McKie 12 February 1846 Sandberrick Farm. This is my line.

3. Alexander b abt 1821 died 20 March 1952 Brentford, Middlesex

4. Susan b abt 1823 Died 27 July 1845 Glentriploch, Mochrum. Buried Mochrum Churchyard

5. Peter b abt 1828 Mochrum. Died 4 September 1901 Halliwell, Bolton England. Buried  Heaton Cemetery. He married Margaret Bradley. I have good information on this line too.

As you can see there are gaps so your Milhench line may well fit in.

Thanks for your reply. I had found Caroline Allen before but have not been able to find her in another census or find a birth record so I do not know where she fits in.
