Hi Bev,

I don't know whether you are still looking for info on Michael Coughlan. I don't think he was on the 'Mangles'. I believe he was on the 'Prince Regent' in Jul 1824. I have a lot of info on him if you need it.

Regards,

Hi Sparkle60,

I know who he is. His mother is Mary Taylor. Christian Gowans was the first wife of Francis Stephens married 22 May 1824 in Durris. Had 7 kids. Francis then married Mary Taylor 24 Jul 1842 in St. Cyrus.  Mary Taylor I think was married to Jacob Kemlo prior and had 2 kids with him. Christian Gowans parents are James Gowans and Mary Grieve. I think Mary Taylors parents are James Taylor and Anne Douglas but I'm not 100% sure about them.  Hope this helps.

Hi Karen,

Paul Richard Dawson was born in New York in Aug 1891. The family stopped of there on their way to England. My grandmother believed that her fathers's middle name was James. His middle name does not appear on any records that I am aware of. They all just say Samuel Dawson.  Paul Richard Dawson is the brother of my grandmother Mary Ann. Paul and Lydia Cahn had a son Paul Frederick Manson Dawson who I think was living at Greenacre when he died. He was born 29 May 1915. I am sure that this the family you are looking for.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the link. Not come across it before. Looks like the site owner is working on the premiss that the date of death has been transcribed wrong for the James Longmuir buried with Rachel Rankin. They may well be right. Hard to say without seeing the grave or some other record. You would normally be able to rely on the grave.   Hope you have some luck at the National Archives.
