Stirlingshire / Re: DEMPSTER or CARNIE in Denny or Larbert
« on: Saturday 13 May 17 21:56 BST (UK)  »
Thank you so much.  How interesting.  i assume my family must have known the minister or born in the town.  Unfortunately my line McKean (McKen) ends about that time.  Nothing else can be found.  I assume they were in Stirling, but nothing can be found.  Thanks for sharing.

How interesting.  I have a Carnie John McKen born in born in Dunipace (1797) then moved to Denny.  Father Thomas McKen (McKean) is born in Larbert. 

I always wondered where the Carnie is from since no others use that name.

That is good to know.  I probably am assuming too much just based on available records.  Are there other sources that could confirm the line I'm not using?  Again, many thanks to all.

In # 11 I said that the familysearch.org led me to LDS films that went from David back to Thomas, and then Thomas back to David.  I took photos of those entries before I had to return the films.

By the way, I'm David Duncan, same as my father.  My grandfather was Duncan Rankin who was James's son.  Duncan Rankin's sons were James, Thomas, Joseph, & David.

Thomas' baptism is recorded in FamilySearch as Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950
Indexing Project (Batch) Number   C11485-2
System Origin   Scotland-VR
GS Film number   1041953
Reference ID   2:17VP3BN

I then ordered the films from LDS library and photographed the record.

The name stays McKen with David & Margret Laing, then their son Thomas (1766) & Mary Brown, then their son David (1795) and Janet Rankin, married 1815, Stirling.  It changes with David's son, James Rankin McKean (b. 1839, Denny) marries Janet Hill (1864, Glasgow).

I listed the children of the 3 generations: David & Margret, Thomas & Mary, and David and Janet in #8.

Once again, thank you all for the advice.  I'm a newbie and appreciate the guidance.

According to Scottish Births and Baptisms  Thomas McKen is born 17 Aug. 1766.  Death date unknown.  Son of David McKen and Margret Laing.  (no other info for David & Margret)

David and Margret's children: Thomas (Larbert, 1766), David (Dunipace, 1770), John (Dunipace, 1773), & Elizabeth Caroline (Dunipace, 1775).

Thomas marries Mary Brown (date UK).  Children: David (1795), Carrie John (1797), Thomas (1802), Adam (1804), & George (1807).

David marries Janet Rankin (1815, Stirling, Scotland).  Children: Thomas (1816, Denny), Agnes (1818, Denny), David (1824), John (1826), Janet (1830), Duncan (1833, Renfrew), & James (1835, Denny).

Thank you.  My line seems to stop with Thomas McKen (born 1766, son of David).  I was hoping maybe the name variants would lead to the next leaf on the tree.
