Hi everbody
The name Kilgour has often puzzled me as to why I had it as a christian name,my father also had it as a christian name,and when I asked he said it was an old family name.
So when I started to research the family tree I did find that my G.G.Gmother's maiden name was Kilgour from Fife,some have a middle name like John james etc.but mine seemed strange to have a surname as a middle name.
Anyhow I will stop gabbling on and get to the point Where does the name originate from and would those who have the Kilgour is there any connection.

Thanks all
Peter

Morning All
I use the Family Tree Maker  to log all my family data,but I would like to put what I have in book form,there is a section in FTM to do this, but I would like to know if there are any other suggestions on how to do this.

I think a John M.B Turner who married a relation of mine moved to the Bournmouth area around about the start of the 1900's,this is the only bit of information that I have been given,could anyone add to this please.
His wife was a Janet King

In the late 1890's and early 20th century the census for those years show my aunts as being school teachers,is there any records that show which school they taught at.

Another mystery of my wifes relatives.
My wifes grandmother was a Margaret Ellen Thorpe,her father was a David Thorpe b.1861 or thereabouts in Wrexham and mother Ellen White b.1871 in Ieland,the other children were Mary A,William,and Susan,also I believe a Thomas from the first marriage to a Thomas Thorpe.There is no record as I can see of the Death of Thomas Thorpe.
Thomas Thorpe was born in Uppingham Rutland about 1865,and that seems to be a common name,but unable track him from there.
David Thorpe born in Wrexham but the same again till 1901 census and the family had moved to Newcastle Staffs,as David married a Ellen White.
Anybody with any ideas
