These are excellent, thanks. I think I can already see a connection from the first document.

Hi,
My uncle sent me this link after he came across this but I couldn't access it but he did tell me that there was another monument which tied in. What does the inscription say in the first two columns next to his name?
I would love to see the DVD and of course, if you come across the other info, I would be greatful. If you email me directly at (*) I will provide you with further details.
Thanks again
Michelle

Thanks for this - what an eventful day I had with this yesterday (there's a lot to be said for being off sick with flu lol).
I managed to find a death record on scotlands people for a brother my gran had called Andrew (never knew about him before). Anyway, as it turns out the father is Peter Penman, b 1882. When Andrew died in 1915, Peter was listed as a coal miner and it also mentions the Highland Cyclist Batallion. We found a death record also for Peter, it lists him as missing in action, presumed dead in 1918 in France. My uncle has also found details of WWI monument in Cowie which lists him - this seems to tie in perfectly as it mentions Black Watch which I have been told he served in.
Can anyone shed any more light?

Hi,
How amazing to see all this! I have been researching my own tree for the last couple of years but no success on my own side of the family due to my gran taking a lot to the grave with her.
Between myself and my uncle over the last couple of days we have deduced some info, then I found the name of a likely brother and it has spiralled from there.
Please feel free to send me your email address and I can send you our line of the tree.

Hello all with an interest in St Ninians - I am new to the site as of this morning and have posted on the Stirlingshire board.
I am searching my paternal family which as been extremely elusive, seems my grandmother took a lot to the grave with her, conveniently my dad and aunt don't remember an awful lot (I have a feeling I'm not just going to find one skeleton in our family closet) - well, nothing at all apparently. I have been speaking with one of my dad's young brothers who has cast a lot of light in terms of aunts/uncles.
I have the following info:
Margaret Provan Penman (my grandmother) b1916
Jeanie Hunter Penman b1910
Mary Robertson Penman b1929
They are all listed as being born in St Ninians. I have found my grandmothers birth record and ordered her birth certificate but won't be here for around 3 weeks and I'm keen to get going.
My grandmother had several children, my dad the eldest was born in Oxford during the war (Riskin College at Oxford University), then there is Jean who was born in Newington. My grandmother then 'married' Edwin Waller in 1957 in Morningside, Edinburgh. I do know that this was not legitimate as he was already married. Their children are Edwin (Eddie) and Patrick also born in Newington. There was then Alice Ruth, born in Falkirk and died at 4m of age. Finally there is Ann Marie Grant Young Waller, born in St Andrew, Edinburgh. Their youngest child, Kevin, was born in Bradford, Yorkshire.
I have looked at the 1901 census for St Ninians and can only find one listing for Penman as follows:
Isabella (40), James (39), Hugh (17), David (15), Mary (13), Bell (Isabella?) (9) and James (6). It appears to me that the parents on this census are too old to be my g-grandparents but possibly one of their children.
I also noticed a death lising for Bertie Penman in St Ninians who could also be a relative. The only final piece of info I have is that my g-grandfather supposedly served in Black Watch at Edinburgh Castle.
Can anyone help with this? Maybe if anyone is able to visit the parish church and look at birth records for me for either my grandmother or her sisters would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Michelle

Stirlingshire / PENMAN in St Ninians
« on: Wednesday 13 January 10 10:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I am desperately trying to research my family history. Sadly my maternal family is from europe so not having much joy there. My paternal side has been extremely elusive, although I seem to have found some info now thanks to an uncle. I have the following info:
Margaret Provan Penman (b1916 St Ninians)
Jeanie Forest Penman (b1910 St Ninians)
Mary Robertson Penman (b1929 St Ninians)
Looking at the age differences, I imagine that there will be siblings between these. My uncle says his grandparents were called Shaw though (maybe my g-grandmother re-married). I know my g-grandfather served in Black Watch at Edinburgh castle, and according to my uncle they lived in Falkirk for as long as he can remember.
The 1901c for St Ninians lists only one Penman family but I think these could have been gg-grandparents as the ages don't seem to tie in, only with their children.
I have the following info:
Isabella - 40 years
James - 39 years
Hugh - 17 years
David - 15 years
Mary - 13 years
Isabella - 9 years
James - 6 years
I have managedd to trace my grandmothers birth certificate but unable to view online so have ordered this but may take 3 weeks to come.
Can anyone cast any light?
Thanks
Michelle
