Hi Bruce,

Many Thanks for your kind offer.

Would you mind having a look for anything relating to Peter McEwan and Janet McNab.  They were married at Muthill on 10 March  1799.  My 3x GGrandmother, Margaret McEwan was born around 1801, but I have nothing on an exact date or on any siblings.

Many Thanks,


Hi Bruce...Im a bit interested in the info you may have provided to Christine Re - Janet McNab..?
Sorry to be greedy but I am interested in any McNabs from Muthill - I have a direct connection to John McNab & Janet Clark had 9 children, Helen, Betty, Margaret, Alexander, John, Janet, William, Ann and her twin Isabella some possibly registered at Muthill 1800 - 1830's.

Yours in hope that someone has returned your generosity...if you need any Australian info let me know...
Christina McNab

Thank you for those names Bruce, I was looking for a George Fisher at one time only because there was a George working with Peter Fisher at Cultoughy, Gilmerton. Anyway I will keep looking for Peter, Annie.

Hi Bruce, No I didn't see that but my Peter Fisher was in Clarkston, Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1841, my ancestor son Peter born 1838 and next child Thomas was born in 1842 in Lanarkshire so the family moved from Perthshire round 1840.  Family then moved to Dalry, Ayrshire, then to Adrossan, Ayrshire.
Father Peter born 1798 died in 1855, stating his parents were John Fisher & Margaret Robertson, but we have got nowhere with them either.  About 4 John Fisher married Margaret Robertson but they are either too young or too old.  Story handed down is that Peter was a foundling,  well he is going to end up a foundling as we have spent about 10 years looking for him.
Thank you for your input, Annie

Hi Annie

Silly question time
Have you checked out the christian name "Patrick" as I discovered to my cost "Patrick" and "Peter" were often interchanged in Highland Perthshire at this time especially around Muthill and Comrie.
I spent a good few years looking for a Peter McEwan and someone else found it for me he was in the OPR's as Patrick.
Just a Thought
good luck
Yours Aye

Hi Bruce, Not a silly question, I had looked at Patrick a long time ago and recently got a list of all the Peter Fishers in Perthshire, thought I would check them all out.  Didn't think again about Patrick, so have put that on my list next.  We will try anything, thanks for reminding me, Annie
