Stirlingshire / Margaret Christie bn c 1761 married John Reid 1782
« on: Tuesday 18 July 17 11:20 BST (UK)  »
I believe that Margaret was born in Stirling - marriage was in the Stirling Parish says 'both of this Parish'.

I'm trying to trace her parents; some trees on other sites say Margaret Buchanan Christie; I can't find evidence of this Buchanan name as yet.

Their children: William Reid 1782–1849 (my 4th Gt Grandfather)
John Reid 1784–1826
Elizabeth Reid 1787–
Alexandar Reid 1790–
Margaret Reid 1792
Gilfillian Reid 1798–1855

Stirlingshire / Isabel Smith bn 1728 Falkirk Mother Jean KINCAID
« on: Wednesday 27 January 16 21:40 GMT (UK)  »
I have in my tree Isabel Smith married Thomas Robertson 1751.  Their son John Robertson married Margaret Gillespie down the line I know i have true, its going back up the line that I'm finding it difficult to take in.  John Robertson death cert in 1818 says he was 60 years old makes him born 1758.   The only John I can find fits that year is the one with parents Thomas & Isabell Smith found on Scotland's People.

Isabel's baptism says parents John Smith (as does Marriage cert) and Jean Kincaid. 

So this lead me on a journey of researching the KINCAID's - Jean's parents are James Kincaid (1640) & Marion Boyd (1654?).

James (1640) parent's James (1612) and Jeane Somerville (1616).

James (1612) parent's are James (1571) Margaret Hamilton (1571)

and lucky I have done a fair bit of reading on the Kincaid's and gone back to 1449.  There is so much on the Kincaids that I have branched into Earl's & Lady's.

Here comes the BUT - how can I be sure that I'm looking at the correct John Robertson (1758)?  All the other trees on ancestry also point to the mother as being Isabel Smith.  I just want to be certain.

Lanarkshire / Duncan McGregor bn 1832 Lanarkshire
« on: Wednesday 26 August 15 11:32 BST (UK)  »
I have found on the 1851 census that Duncan was living with his brother Joseph McGregor (my 3rd Gt Grand father) and wife Agnes and their Son Duncan. All the dates of Joseph, Agnes and Duncan (son) match all I have already, so for me this is a big break through :D

So, looking for any information on Duncan bn 1832. I have baptism records that show that either Duncan & Joseph's parent are John and Jane Moody, although I can't find the baptism record for Joseph, if I can I can match :)
