Stirlingshire / Re: RISK Surname - Mainly Stirling, Dunbarton, Renfrew & Lanark.
« on: Wednesday 13 January 10 14:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I have some information on the Risk family from the Stirling/Dumbarton area. I am a descendant of James Risk and Ann Gardner who married in  Kilmaronock in 1765 They had a daughter Elisabeth Risk who Married William Wood in Kilmaronock in 1797. Elisabeth had a Brother William Risk who went on to be Provost of Dumbarton in 1845. Elisabeth's brother William also had a son James Blair Risk who also was Provost in 1854-57. Looking for ancestors of William Wood and James Risk and Ann Gardner. :)

Hi Rex,
I have attached an extract about Tom from a book that was passed to me from my Grandfather Charles, also a photograph from the book. It looks like from your facts that you may already have seen this as there are a lot of similarities.
Tom was Married to Margaret Brown, Toms Mother was indeed Janet McIlquham, His Father John. Toms Grandfather was William Wood a farmer from Drymen and his Grandmother Elisabeth Risk.
I live just outside Glasgow. Is your Son-in-law any relation to Tom ?
regards
David.

Hi,
Thomas Wood was my Great Grandfather.  Your facts on Tom are all correct. I have a little more that I can pass on if you would like.
regards
David.
