CHALMERS Scotland

[snowwhite77]

I have an interest of the CHALMERS family from Clackmannan & Stirling mainly.
David CHALMERS & Margaret HARROWER married 1812 Clackmannan.
I have a long list of children, grandchildren etc for this couple.

Let me know if you are researching in the same area.

As far as I know your Chalmers aren't related to the ones I've got in Clackmannan, but David Chalmers and Isabella Harrower's sons Andrew and John are living in the next two houses to my William and Janet Chalmers in 1851 at Howtown. This seems a very strange coincidence. David's son Andrew married Helen Cunningham and William and Janet's daughter Margaret married Helen's brother, William Cunningham. Do you know who the parents of David Chalmers were or where David was born?

Hi Elizabeth,

I am actually in contact with another gentleman, who is researching another Chalmers line. I have a strong feeling, it may be the same line as yours.
His Chalmers were also living alongside mine. He has tried to find a link between them for many years now, and not managed it so far.
The Andrew and John you  mentioned are indeed my line. I think the parents of David CHALMERS was John CHALMERS and Helen WATSON. This is from briefly flicking through my notes.
I am going to email my friend about you, if you don't mind, and find out if this is indeed his line. I will let you know when I hear back from him.

Regards

My partner is descended from the Chalmers in Alva.  Does anyone have Catherine Cook marrying James Chalmers in 1815?

It is always possible your James could be related to my David CHALMERS. I don't have David' parents yet, so don't know his siblings. James could be around the correct age to be brother of David.
Do you have any further info on your James at all?
