Good morning cousin!  Donald McVean McNab was my Granny's youngest brother and they lived in Wemyss Bay Street!  That means your mother was my father's cousin, amking you and I cousin's of some sort!
You clearly have more info on the McNabs than I do and I'd really like to talk to you about it.  Are you interested in Donald McVean McNab's mother's family?  I have a bit of info on them. 

Please email me on my private email (*).  If you let me have a phone number I can call you.  I live on the outskirts of Edinburgh.

Linda

Now I am confused. My McNabs come from Greenock but the maternal grandparents stayed in Strachur and my granny and all her siblings lived there for some time.  Could there be a connection?
I have Andrew Alexander, son of Alexander, grandson of Alexander and great grandson of Alexander.  I know they weren't imaginative with names but....

Regards

Linda
ps I've supported Morton all my life as did my grandparents!

Hi,

Glad you had success. Strangely my lot came from Ireland as well!  If you come across and Andrew Alexander McNab, son of Alexander McNab and Annie Hamilton think of me as they are proving very hard to trace.  My other Irish relations are impossible to find due to their illiteracy when they arriven in 1865 and the many different ways names have been written over the years.

Best wishes

Linda

I came across your message on Roots chat and wondered if there might be a connection between you McNab family and mine. My granny was Catherine Cowan McNab, born 1894;died 1984.  Her father was Andrew Alexander McNab.  Her siblings included a brother Donald McVean McNab who left Greenock in about 1940 after his wife died.  My Granny always said he was in the London area.  He was born in 1902 and I think died in Dacorum, Hemel Hempsted in 1982.  Donald and Catherine's mother was Christina McVean, born and brought up in Strachur.
Donald and Catherine had two sisters - Annie and Mary (known as Polly) and two brothers Alexander and John.
It seems that there are a lot of similarities. My Granny married John Dorren and they had two sons - Robert, born 1918 and my father Donald McVean Dorren born 1923.  Sadly all are no dead.
If you think there is a link feel free to email me on (*).  I will be away from 13th April 2011 until 22nd April but would reply as soon as possible.

Linda
