I have a William McBride (1797-1803) from either Kilbride or `Island of Arrson, Bubhire'

He moved to Glasgow and is my direct ancestor.  He was a gardener.

I don't know my geography of that area well and I cannot figure out what Bubhire is.  Maybe you do?

Does this sound like it could be your William McBride?

[muckypup]

Hi Andarah,

Bubhire will be Buteshire, Kilbride is a Parish on the Isle of Arran, which used to come under Buteshire.
Do you have any other details of his life, marriage or death certs etc.

Rob

[andarah]

Not a lot for him, but I'll PM you.

Hi Andarah & Rob, I am a direct descendant of Archibald McBride the Deep Sea Pilot and have some details of his family and descendants directly to me if thats of any use to you? Although i think i have his DOB estimated at 1809 not 1803

I dont have much about his beginnings, siblings and his descendants. Do you know if John & Christina were actually his parents and do you have any more details on them?

Oh and Joe thanks for posting you note below this has also help me out.

Any help will be appreciated.
All the best
Gary

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
