Perthshire / Glenlyon, Fortingall, McNaughton connection.
« on: Sunday 06 August 23 20:14 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if there is anyone in the Group who can help me? I have two different McNaughtons who I believe originated in Glenlyon, Fortingall but I can’t join them together. The names of all the family members are so close that they confuse me every time I try to make sense of them. My grandfather was Duncan McNaughton Cairns, mother Elizabeth McNaughton, born Dull, Perth, lived many years Inveraray, Argyll,  married Robert Cairns 1866 Lawers, Perth, lived thereafter in Alva, Clackmannanshire.
The other thread is Mary Leith McNaughton, born 1819 Fortingall, married Donald McDougall in the Gorbals, Glasgow 1840. Her father was Duncan McNaughton, 1774-2851.

I believe these two threads are linked somewhere in the Glenlyon timeline, I just can’t work out where.
I know there are many of you have great knowledge of Glenlyon and I would be really grateful for any help I can get on these two threads.
Thank you in advance!!

I am researching Duncan McNaughton Cairns born Alva 1896. It was a family story that his father was a coach driver in the Central Belt
 and he often helped Burke and Haire!
That apart, Duncan was my dear grandfather and I would love to know a bit more about him and Alva, where he grew up in the early 1900s. Thank you!

« on: Tuesday 28 June 22 11:13 BST (UK)  »
I have been trying to find record of WDS Eglington and Ann Jarvis (Malcolm) Eglington in Perth W Australia for ages but am not striking lucky. Ann changed her name by deed poll in England, that is why they have the same surnames.
The marriage would have been about 1968. Thx for any help or tips. Kathy

« on: Friday 10 January 20 12:05 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching a lead from a family member in a letter. Mary Mulligan, my great aunt was supposed to either finish her education, or become a teacher here. I can’t get any inroads into this, either yearbooks or even if this school/college is in the right area of New York? Mary was born 1903 in Scotland, emigrated to the USA in 1925, married in 1933 to John Mulligan, had two children, (*) and (*), who I also cannot trace. She died 1966 in Florida.I was hoping to trace even a yearbook from this lead StAugustines College. ring a bell with anyone? Thank you, Kathy

Stirlingshire / ELEANOR RYAN FOWLER BOYD, born 1899, FALLIN
« on: Tuesday 24 December 19 16:21 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching John Ryan and Mary Bonar Ryan who lived in theBlocks in Fallin. John died in 1923, Mary in 1930. The eldest daughter Eleanor Ryan took on several of the family children as was the norm in those days. I believe she also was a Justice of the Peace in the 1960#? The only memory I have of her was that she lived next door to an ice cream seller. She died in England as she went to live with her daughter there, maybe 1970s? Does anyone have any info or recollection of Eleanor or her family? Thank you, Kathy

Northumberland / James Hastings O’Neill 1911-1999
« on: Saturday 21 September 19 17:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi I am researching James Hastings O’Neill for my daughter and have met with a brick wall just after starting.
I believe he lived in Whitley Bay, and that he was married. He had at least two sons, one being 68(?) years old. I can’t get a grip on this family tree, which I imagine will lead back to Ireland sooner or later. What would the family have come from ireland for? And how can I get a start on his Ancestry? Any help gratefully accepted. Kathy
