Hi Norma
I'd love to see transcription but I don't think I'm allowed to post my email address. Perhaps someone would give us some advice?

Thankyou Norma. I hadn't looked at this branch for a long time. I do have the information on the Porters and have Janet Anderson as Hugh's mother. A very interesting branch the Lundies lol. It would be interesting to hear about Thomas's trial.
Best wishes

Yes - James Drummond and Janet McNaughton. You'll probably have the following information - The Act of Privy Council in 1603 made it illegal to use the McGregor name and forced the members of the clan to take an alias. Usually they took the name of a local Laird who guaranteed their behaviour to the Courts under threat of severe penalties if they couldn't control their charges. The tenants were expected to fight under the Laird's banner whether they agreed with the cause or not. Colline Drummond was indeed born in Garrichruie which was on the Earl of Perth's (James Drummond) estate. There were 13 families in Garrichruie - Duncan McNaughton, Hugh Drummond, Duncan Neish (married to Eliz Drummond), John Comrie, Duncan Drummond, Patrick Forbes, James McNaughton, Wm Riddoch and John McNaughton + 4 cottars. Duncan Drummond was the main leaseholder of Garrichruie. When the Earl of Perth's estates were forfeited several farms formerly possessed by many tenants were given to one person so the tenants were forced to move on. There seems to be a link with the Campbell's somewhere along the line whether it was through marriage or whether they were 'bonded' at one time to Sir Colin Campbell who owned Aberuchill Castle (Glenlednock) and the Kilbryde Estate (Dunblane). Kilbryde is where Colline Drummond moved to. So I suspect our Drummonds were formerly McGregors. I may be wrong Jodi. I'm not a professional genealogist and I stand to be corrected. I haven't been able to visit the archives at Perth or gain access to Kilbryde estate papers. Perhaps that's where the answers are

I haven't looked at the Drummonds for a wee while but I'd be happy to share any information I have.

Ayrshire / Re: Hannah Dixon Hewitson

Thankyou blemdookie. I did manage to find them on the 1921 Census. Interestingly their daughter Sarah Elizabeth Hewitson Orr and her husband and family are also on the same census page. Their other daughter Hannah Hewitson Geddes also emigrated as did their son Isaac Dixon (to Nova Scotia). This left sons John Robert Hewitson and William James Hewitson in Scotland. I think I'll do as you suggest and e-mail Mount Royal Cemetery.
And thankyou Br1gau - yes, that's my family.

Ayrshire / Re: Kerr/Paterson of Ayrshire to Australia
« on: Tuesday 17 June 14 01:49 BST (UK) »
I don't have any info re the Kerr's but I can pass on some re the Patersons.
1841 Census - Cowgate, Mauchline
Jas Paterson b1790 Scotland - silk HLW
Janet Paterson (this is an error - should be Margaret) b 1796 Ayrshire
Andrew b1831 Ayrshire
Isabella b1833 Ayrshire
Catherin b1835 Ayrshire
Margaret b1837 Ayrshire
Sarah b1840 Ayrshire
Margaret b1829 Ayrshire
They then moved to Calton Glasgow 1851 and 1861 Censuses.
James had various occupations - mill employee, box maker and then HLW.
Margaret (Jane's mother) was the daughter of Andrew Murdoch mason b abt 1762 d2/11/1841 Ochiltree Mill and Elizabeth Baird b abt 1761. They were married 5/6/1784. Margaret Murdoch (Paterson) was born 17/12/1795 Ochiltree and died 22/11/1858 of peritonitis at 23 Stevenson Street, Glasgow Calton.
Hope this helps a little bit.
