Hello All,
This is my first time here but wanted to thank all who assisted in my search. My great x 4 grandmother was Elizabeth Anderson Edgar born Sep 11,1812. She Married James Rennie b. 1812 (abt) both from Dailly. Her Mother 'Marion' born Oct 2,1786 in Dailly shows her surname clearly spelled as McBlain and her father as Thomas. No info on Elizabeth Edgar father info so will pursue some data that has been supplied. Interesting on the ICG search many people in Dailly area with various spellings of the surname McBlaine etc. Also on the death certificate of James Rennie d. Nov 28,1892 who was shot by a poacher shows his mother's name as Elizabeth A. Eggart. I also found 2 Thomas McBlain born in Dailly 1756 & 1766. Thinking 1766 might be the right one. Then found on IGI1 a Thomas b. 1788 Coral hill? Dailly and parents as Archibald/Agnes with children thomas/agnes/margaret/marion/elizabeth...so think there may be a connection given the explanation of family naming convention. McBlane. I also noticed on the Family Group Record (IGI) record John Edgar and Marion Blane ( and many others) all named Blane...hundreds of them. Wondering if the submitter or LDS drops the Mc part? So thank you again and I will follow up with your leads. Regards, Hume/Rennie searcher in Maple Ridge, Canada regards
