Hi Jim,

I'm afraid I don't know much about the Beatons but Marion Macleod from Galtrigill was a daughter of Donald, son of William, son of Alexander, son of Donald, son of John of Raasay. Donald son of John of Raasay was the tacksman of Galtrigill, he was one of those who helped Prince Charlie escape in 1746, his wife was a cousin of Flora Macdonald.

All the Best
G.

Hi G,

I was wondering if you had any dates on Marion MacLeod as my 4xgreat grandmother was Marion Macleod (abt 1775) Galtrigill she married John Campbell.

Anything more would be useful to confirm either way if I am or not descended from the Princes Pilot????

Cheers

Scott.

On the informant on the Death entry I suspect your correct and they didn't know about the McGown connection (my mother certianly had'nt heard of it).

I started down a path of a Daniel McLeish  which lead me to a branch of the McLeish family that were Ships carpenters in Dumbarton back to a Daniel McLeish born abt 1811 in Kilearn but unfortunately this branch is not connected to my tree.

However I have now got back on track and looking into McGown info for Co Antrim.

Cheers

Hi,

I know this is an old thread but it seems to cover some of the ground I'm covering now

Daniel McGown born in Airdrie 29th Oct 1867 (illegitimate) to Daniel Mcgown and Barbara Gilchrist.

By the time of the 1871 census Barbara has a second Child William (Born in Co Antrim abt 1870) and Daniel Senior is nowhere to be found.

By 1881 Daniel  is still McGown at this point, is living with Mum Barbara and Step Dad William Mcleish (Married in 1873), William McGown is not on the Census entry,

On the 23 August 1889 Daniel gets Married to Elizabeth Brown (both of Keppoch Row Possil Park) But Daniel is Listed as McLeish with William as Father and Barbara as Mother.

By 1891 Daniel (McLeish)and Elizabeth are living at 103 Bardowie St Possil Park with Baby William and William and Barbara are still in Keppoch Row Possil park.

Barbara died in 1923 whilst living in Lamb hill and Daniel (McLeish) Died in 1936 his Death Entry lists his Mother as Barbara  McLeish maiden Surname Gilchrist but his father is listed as Daniel Mcleish (not Daniel McGown or William McLeish this was some thing that caused me a lot of wrong turns and dead ends.)

Any additional info that confirms my understanding of events or adds to it would be much appreciated and if I have got this wrong please let me know.

Cheers.

Scott
