Perthshire / Port of Menteith/Ballanoughcater
« on: Thursday 10 November 16 21:04 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
In the course of my family tree research, I have recently found that my 5th great-grandfather was born (or at least baptised) in Port of Menteith, which appears to have been in Perthshire in the 1700s, hence my query here.
My ancestor's baptismal record says he was baptised at a place called Ballanoughcater, as do those of various other family members (sometimes with spelling variations). However, Googling this name draws an absolute blank. I don't suppose anyone here has heard of Ballanoughcater?
Thanks,
Nick.
