Perthshire / Duff / McGlashan
« on: Wednesday 16 July 08 21:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone. Norm Redpath here from Ontario, Canada.
I am researching my mother's ancestors. and I need some clarification on the Duff side of the house. Her GGG Grandfather was a John Duff, born 1740 and his wife was Cathrine McGlashan also born 1740.
They had 6 children, James & Anna b 1971; Thomas b 1776; David b 1780; an unnamed child b 1782 and Donald b 1784. They are listed as being born in Little Dunkeld, Scotland.
Can any one shed any light on this as to a marriage date and location and possibly their parents. It would bee very much appreciated as I have just been in touch with a descendant of THOMAS. I am descended from Davids branch. He married a Jean (Jane) McDonald and they were married in 1806 in Perth. Had 4 children born in Newbegging,Auchtergaven, Scotland.
Thanks in advance
Norm

 Hi, Norm Redpath here from Canada. My maternal grandfather, William Roderick McLeish, (Canadian) was posted to England during the first world war. Although he was married at the time, to my grand mother, he was married again as per the story below. Can anyone shed any light on this family of Warner's.  If by chance I'm in the wrong County in England, please redirect me. Thanks, Norm




Aileen Joan born June 2 1917, at 1 Varna Villas, Broomhill, Orpington, daughter of William Roderick McLeish and Elsie Winnifred McLeish formerly Warner

Parents were married 18 May 1917. Elsie was 19 years old, a spinster, with no rank or profession listed. Her father was Arthur Warner, a Coachman (Domestic). Witnesses were Arthur Warner and Alice Warner. [may be brother and sister in law]

This may be the family I am seeking

Hi, Norm here from Canada and I am researching my wife's family tree, (she's a Harrogate native)
Anyhow I have some information on her Paternal Grand father. He is John Charles Askwith born c 1898, married to a Gladys Pratt. abt 1921/22
As far as I can ascertain, his father was a Charles William Askwith born c 1875 married to a Helen ? abt 1897 and I think he had 3 brothers, William, Norman and Arthur (mental hospital in Menston) and a sister named Mary. They were from Harrogate.
Thank you all,
Norm
