David and Janet (Kaey Langlands) Carnegie are my relatives as well - David is my great-great- grandfather.  His son James Chalmers Carnegie is my great-grandfather..he had Jessie Carnegie that was my grand-mother.

That's great!  Your g-g grandfather George was a brother to my g-g grandmother Margaret!

I believe (altho cannot confirm) that Flora McNair may have been born around 1816 as the census record from 1841 has her age as 25 (and John Jackson was 35).  Margaret was 3 and George was 1.  And be darn'ed if I know the area of the census!  The page that I printed off doesn't have the area and  the only thing I see is chicken scratch so can't read it!

I am wondering if they came from the Isle of Gigha, as Margaret and her husband (Peter McCallum) lived there at some point.

Just trying to get information on Flora McNair Jackson!!!  But it's so tough!  I am planning a trip to Scotland in August and hope to do some investigating!  :)

Gosh...yes, I meant McNair - I am always putting McNeill when I mean McNAIR....lol...no wonder I get stumped with my research!!!!

As I am going through my research, the 1841 census has only Margaret and George has the children.  There is another census after that (but I didn't write down the year) that shows the other children.  With records being at the mercy of the record taker, names could be altered - I'm sure Flory is Flora.  You could also be looking at a census that is after the census I have and therefore the names James and Allen might be added.

The record of the marriage on May 28th, 1867 of Peter McCallum and Margaret Jackson (my great-great grandmother) says that Margaret's father was John Jackson (shoemaker).  It has Margaret's mother as "Margaret McNair".....but the only wife I can find of a John Jackson (shoemaker) is the 1841 census saying his wife was Flora with a daughter Margaret.  But the Margaret that married Peter has a death certificate that has her mother as Flora McNair Jackson.

So, I may be "barking up the wrong tree" with the names Flora and Margaret.

When you are able to get to your records it would be wonderful to cross-reference!  Thank you!
