Hi there.  Hoping someone can help me find some historic information on the Priory Hotel in Beauly. 

From an undated picture in belongings of my great grandfather (William McDonald McKay born 1876 Glasgow/died 1960 Saskatoon Canada)  there was a picture of the Hotel.  Wording on back stated “my sister Christina standing at window and cousin Angus at door of my aunts Hotel”.  Also written  “TO Angus Paterson, Star Inn, Grant Street, Inverness”.   

I am still piecing together my family tree info through Ancestry and My Heritage and so far believe William’s mother (my GG grandmother was Isabella (Bella) McDonald (born 1850 Inverness; died Glasgow 1898) and married Alexander McKay (born 1840 Al’ness Rossshire/died pre 1898 Glasgow). 

I am hoping to find out the names of the former owners of the Priory to confirm some family names I have runs across and move forward in my tree.  There is no historic information on the hotel that I could find.  I am assuming William’s aunt mentioned may be Bella’s sister, possibly a Paterson or McDonald ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am sorry and did not mean to make my thank you to both replies look that way to anyone and apologize if it did.  This is only the second time I have used Rootschat and I am still learning how it works, in particular when responding to posts.   

Hello.  I am searching for information on my grandmother and believe I found her living at an address in Glasgow in 1923.  I was hoping someone can tell me what the initials D, E, and G... mean that is printed on left side of some of the names on the Electoral Registers for Burgh of Glasgow.  Thanks kindly for any help.   

Kloumann,
Thank you so much!  That fits with birthdate for my father’s half-sibling Margaret!
