Thomas, your family member was Thomas, and not George. Sorry about that.

Isabella McGlasson, wife of Robert Stewart McNab, is the difficult one to research, as there are missing records, and maybe two women with same name. It's possible that her father was Peter McGlasson and her mother Jean McCrostie who was born or baptised Moulin 15th July 1760. If so, Jean's father was Patrick McCrostie born/baptised 18th May 1746, Monzievairdie & Stowan, and her mother Jean Fleeming, born Moulin 1748.

You may already know this, of course.

Hi there

We are certainly distant cousins! From what you say, you are descended from Thomas McNab and I am descended from Peter McNab, born 1823, one of his brothers - the one who married Catherine Robertson.  Some of the details I have are as follows: I know that their father was Robert Stewart McNab, born 1791 or 2 in Moulin, Perthshire and married to Isabella McGlasson (sometimes written McGlashan) 23/8/1818 in Moulin. He died in Aldernaig in Moulin 21/1/1875. Isabella died in Aldernaig 29/11/1885.

This isn't an easy family to trace. I have gone further back, but some of the vital records are missing, so it is hard to get confirmation of my findings. The middle name of Stewart must come into it at some point further back. Hope this is of interest to you.
