Hiya Hazel

Wow you are amazing.  I knew my family were miners and it seems all the men - grandad, great grandad etc were Montgomery as was the custom to name the first born boy after the father and the first born girl after the mother and so on. So I have 3 cousins called Elizabeth!!

Thanks so much for this information I am still very new to this so am not sure what the next steps are, but slowly and surely I hope to unearth more information.

Look forward to speaaking with you soon.

Kind regards
Debbie

Hiya

My name is Deborah Palmer (nee Stevenson).  My father and grandfather were both named Montgomery Stevenson and came originally from Cowie, but then moved to Bannockburn. My Great-Grandad was, I believe a miner in Cowie. My Grandad was married to Elizabeth McLaren and I believe they ran a pub.  My Grandad died in 1978 and my darling Dad died in 2003 at the age of 76.  Both are buried in Bannockburn.  My Dad's sister - Mary Wilson (nee Stevenson) lived in St Anne's Crescent, Bannockburn and is also sadly dead now. My Dad played football for Bannockburn in his youth and after the war played for Hearts for a short time.

I have just found this site and reading all the posts feel sure that my Stevensons must be llinked somehow to those I have read about on this site.  I would dearly love to know more about my Scottish family.

Does anyone out there know anything about my Dad or Grandad???
