Gary,

It's a file that most genealogy programs can open ( I use Family Tree Maker 2011) which will allow you to see everyone I have found, will save you spending on Scotlands People.

Hello second cousin twice removed, greetings from the homeland.

Archie also had a sister called Margaret 1811,

He & Margaret (Nee Campbell) had eleven children that I know of, a few I have found died either in childbirth or shortly after.
The 1841 census has them living at Whiting Bay with Christina 1834-1890, Martha 1836-1869 & John 1838-1909, I have traced these three until their deaths and what i think is all of their family.
Archie & Margaret moved the family to Greenock circa 1850 where they lived at 2 Vennel from 1851-1857, they then moved to 22 Sugarhouse lane until Archies death in 1876. margaret moved to Nicolson Street where she died in 1884.
1851 census they were living at Campbells Land 18 Heavey Lane ? (Harvey lane)greenock west, with Martha 15, John 10, Archie 7, & William 5
Your line; Archie McBride 1869-1937 married Sarah Nelis who had previously had a child with a James Kennedy called William, she then married Henry Edwin McGill they went on to have three children William, David & Margaret,
Archie & Sarah produced six children; Flora, Archie, Francis, John, Alexander & Edward

If you follow this link you will see photographs of your updated family (more to follow)

Hi Gary,
Which branch of the family do you come from?

Christina & John were Archie's parents they farmed some land on Arran, after Johns death Christina went to live with her son Alexander at lochranza were he was the local schoolteacher and registrar.
 
Where are you based?
 
My line is from Archie's son John (born 1838 Arran), then his son John (1878) his son Robert (1924) then me (all born Greenock, Scotland)

Can't send you a PM with more details, until you have posted three times

Regards

Robert McBride

Hi veldtrunner,

Yes still looking for family information, anything you have.
My connection is through his mother Margaret Campbell McBride (1867-1905) who is my Grand Aunt which makes your Grandfather my 1st cousin once removed

That would be the "Lytham St.Anne’s Express"
I know it has been going since 1930 as it carried an item about Queen Mary School, Lytham St.Annes.

It is still publishing today.

Or for local history
