Hi Trixie-Bell,
I was really happy to come across your postings on the Sommervilles, as I seem to have gone down the wrong path! Perhaps you could help me to clarify things?
My gggrandfather was Alex. Stewart married to Ann Sommerville in 1872 in Greenock, she was born in 1853 in Greenock.
Ann's father was John Sommerville, who married Elizabeth Gallocher in 1852 in Greenock, John was born 1832 in Greenock.
John's father was William Sommerville (Or Summarfield as is shown on the MC), he married Anna Pettigrew (or Pettecrew on MC) in 1829 in Kilmory, Shiskine & Lochranza. He was born in 1804 in Rothesay. I have his brother's and sister's detailed as Andrew 1806, Janet 1826, Bryce 1836, Robert, 1805, Jannet 1803.
But this is where I think I have gone wrong....I had his parents as Andrew Sommerville and Mary Niven, but from your posting, I guess that should be John & Martha?
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Regards,
Jeni.
