Hi myyran

The Julia Cairney you referred to is my husbands grandmother. She was married to John Cairney and they had nine boys and one girl, three of the boys and their families live in Dalgleish Ave. Charlie Cairney was one of her sons and is my father-in-law.  I am trying to find out about Julia's mother and father (Annie Mclaughlin and Peter Gallagher) and also John Cairney's mother and father, who i have no information on.  If you can help it would be great.  These Cairneys are such a large family and widespread!!   By the way the lady from the sweetie shop was my father-in-laws auntie Agnes.

Hope to hear from you with more info.

Great to hear from you. Here goes!!

Peter Gallagher and Annie McLaughlin had a child called Julia Gallagher (also known as Julia Cairney) because at the time of Julia's birth Annie was still married to John Cairney (but thats another mystery for another day) on 24th August 1906. She was born in Old Street in Duntocher.  No marriage certificate can be found so i assume they did not marry. On Julia's birth certificate it states that Peter was a general labourer, but on Julia's death certificate it states that he was a shoemaker. 

Looking back on the sight i read that Legale1's grandfather was a Peter Gallagher who was in Duntocher and was a bit of a ladies man!!!  Could this be the elusive man i'm looking for?  She also states that she has connections to the Cairney family, gets more and more interesting!

Would be great if you could help or even point me in the right direction. Hope small amount of info is some help.

Hi everyone i'm new to this so please forgive me.  I am trying to trace my husbands family history. His family name is Cairney and he lived in Dalgleish Avenue in Duntocher. Four houses in Dalgleish Avenue are still occupied by the Cairneys including my in-laws!  Tracing back i have come to a halt as my husbands greatgrandfather was a Peter Gallagher. My husbands great grandparents were never married and he never met his great grandparents so i have come to a complete halt.
I would also like some help with his grandmother Julia Gallagher also from Duntocher.

Please help!!
