McGregor search
« on: Sunday 22 April 12 13:22 BST (UK) »
Hi,

First post here after finding very useful info from this thread - http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,90305.0.html.

The paper copy of my family tree starts with my 3x great grandfather Duncan who was married to Rebecca Dennis who had a child named Daniel who is my 2x GG.

Firstly, the chaps details I have are for the wrong person and after a little bit of searching, I found the correct details.  From there though is where I'm having difficulty.  I have found info to suggest Duncan's parents were Duncan McGregor and Ann McEwan, however the marriage details in the link show a Hugh McGregor.

Does anyone have any further information on Hugh?

Many thanks
Scotty

Hello Scotty Mc,

Welcome to Rootschat!  :)

It would be a good idea to post the details you believe to be correct (including all known dates etc), so we can endeavour to help you.

You've already realised that it's not a good idea to accept other people's research/findings as being 100% accurate unless they can be verified/cross-referenced on various types of documentation!

Statutory Registration didn't begin in Scotland until 1855, but the OPR's can be searched for prior events and of course there's always census returns.

Thanks Anne.

Giving the info I already have would be helpful somewhat!

The majority of my tree is accurate upto and including Daniel McGregor (b.1867, d.1954) and married to Julia Hodgson (b.1868, d.1902).

My tree shows Daniel's parents as Duncan McGregor (b.1850, d.1928) and married to Rebecca Dennis (b abt.1840, d.1895).  However when I've delved a little deeper, this Duncan doesn't appear to be the right chap.  The correct one appears to be Duncan/Donkin McGregor (b.1834 in Barnparish, Scotland, d.1887).

The problem I have is with Duncan's parents.  So far the evidence suggests that Duncan's parents were Duncan (b.1800, d.1887) and Ann McEwan (b.1806, d.unknown), however the info from the marriage register shows a Hugh McGregor as his father.  This has me thinking have I found the correct details, the marriage details are correct or Daniel potentially lied?

As before, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Scotty

ps. mods, if this is in the wrong section please feel free to move, cheers!

Hi Scotty Mc,

Was trying to have a look for your relatives, but cannot find your "Barnsparish, Scotland". Have you get anymore info re this parish. If you have searched IGI for the family, please advise any results.

Like Tom I couldn't find anything similar to 'Barnsparish' in Scotland.  :-\

Any mention of actual addresses/villages/shires on any documentation?

I couldn't find anything regarding Barnparish either.  I am just taking the info from the 1861 England census which shows himself and Rebecca living in Monkwearmouth Shore, Sunderland, Co Durham.
