Ballantines/Ballantynes of Ayrshire/Lanarkshire

[Antigo]

Thanks for your reply.  More info has been uncovered since my original post, but mysteries remain.
Caroline Ballantyne born ca 1795 in Drymen Stirling (but no birth cert found).  Her death cert says her parents were John Ballantyne, a mason, and Janet Walker. (Surname was Walker not MacKxxx, my stupid error.) However, Janet was married to Matthew Ballantyne, a sawyer.  Matthew's father was named John.
Matthew and Janet also had a daughter named Jean who married Mitchell Harris.  Their son John Harris became a master shoemaker.  In her later years, Caroline lived with him and his family and he was present at Caroline's death.
So, most likely father was Matthew and not John (and the John Ballantyne, merchant in Ayrshire was an early false lead).
Caroline married Hugh Lundie, 1836, Gorbals.  It was his 3rd marriage.  Their daughter Caroline was born 1839, soon after which the parents (Caroline and Hugh) seemed to go separate ways.  Daughter Caroline married James Allan Thomson in 1859 and died of typhus in 1867.  Mother Caroline died in 1874

Looking for Ballantine/Ballantyne's based primarily in the Strathaven / Glassford / Stonehouse area and particularly associated with Shotlinn Farm on the Hamilton Estate.  These include Andrew Ballantine (1784-1863)/Helen Craig and his sibs  James, John, Thomas, Agnes and William(1781-1811)/Christian Dow.  Andrew/Helen's children include: Andrew (1826-1870)/Margaret Barr, Elizabeth, William/Margaret, James, Isabella, Helen, Janet, George, John, Agnes, Thomas, Robert and Margaret.  Andrew/Helen's family can be seen on the 1851 census at Shotlinn farm.

Well, My maternal great grandpa's maternal grandmother was a lady called Marion Ballantyne 1855-1914. Her father was William Ballantyne 1830-1905. Who married Ann Taylor 1831-1909.
Hope this helped.

Regards,
Daniel
