Kincardine by Doune McLarens from Kirk Lane

[annejan_1]

Sorry I have no birth or death date for Mary Ferguson - only that she married John McLaren in Comrie Dec. 17/1782. He is reportedly born @ 1752 in Balquidder. No death dates for either.

They lived at Wester Rossburn and she must have been alive for the last child's birth @1800.  By the census of 1814 they are living on Kirk Lane but Mary isn't mentioned - just John and 7 kids.

They would have been my 3rd G grandparents thru the oldest son Duncan.   

thanks for the try,  annejan

Hi Anne - do you mean 1841 census
That would have made John McLaren c1752 at Least 89 years old.

No, I'm referring to the special census commissioned for the Blair Drummond Moss area in 1814. It lists each allotment on each lane on the moss giving the names & ages of the family members, their meagre possessions, where they came from and how long they had been on the moss.  In this John is listed as 62 years old.  Would you like the URL?
    cheers,  annejan

Hi Anne - Yes that would be helpful, am more curious than anything else. So many Ferguson's and McLaren's
, the mind "boggles"
My g/g/grandmother was a Jane Ferguson born 1830 Thornhill, Kincardine. she died in 1891 at Deanstone, Kilmadock.
Her father was John Ferguson c1792 Callander he died in 1870 Kincardine, and Jane McGregor 1797-1870.
His father was Duncan Ferguson c1772 (shepherd) and Janet McNab.

Still have a long way to go before I sort them all out.

Don't know if you have the birth from Scotland People.
Parents John McLaren and Mary Ferguson if not let me know have printed them out..it may be a help ..regards patvp

I just realized that its a document so no URL.  It was kindly sent to me by another McLaren in Scotland.  If you send me a pm I'll send it as an attachment.    annejan

I took the above photo a few months ago while on a visit to Blairbrummond cemetery.
I thought it might be of interest to you.
It's the only stone that I saw bearing both the names 'Ferguson' and 'McLaren'

Could I request a copy of the 1814 census that you have. I only have a copy of one page.

Fergie.
