I just wanted to wish you luck with your future research. As you get further back in time it is extremely difficult.

 Have you tried the Moray Burial Ground web site?

Sorry I can't be of more help.

We think that he is the son of John Leslie of Shempston and Agnes Collie. For their first child the first named witness is John Leslie of Shempston with Isabelle Adam's father being the 2nd. The first child is also named John and they seem to have been very traditional in naming the first boy after his grandfather. Our direct descendent is the youngest son William. The witnesses at his christening are W Leslie of Shempston, W Allan of Plowland and Penelope Wilet Vickery (wife of James Adam ). The witnesses do not seem to have a connection to the Alexander Leslie and Anne Duff family.
How are you descended from the Leslies?

My wife is descended from Alexander Leslie of Balnageith and his wife Isabelle Adam. Isabelle Adam's brothers set up a citrus fruit importing business working out of the Azores and Lisbon importing into Liverpool. They started off their business in London.
Their son James Leslie m to Mary Culbard in 1816 was buried at sea in the Bay of Biscay in 1830. He worked out of the Azores. My wife's direct ancestor is his brother William who also worked in the Azores and his 2 eldest children were born there before he moved on to Warrington and then the family moved to Manchester.
Investigation has shown that the fruit crop in the Azores was decimated in the 1820s? hence the change in life circumstances of William Leslie.

Derek,
No problem with the e-mail.
I'm sure the two families are connected.
The second John William is your JW - all the facts fit.

Derek,

As a newcomer to  RootsChat I have looked at various threads concerning McIntosh in its various spellings.

I now know we are related but I'm not sure how! Let me explain...

My line...
Starting with John Macintosh and Ann (married early 1780's)
2nd child - William Macintosh (b1791) and Rachael Stuart (b1792) (m1820)
2nd child - John Macintosh (b1822) and Ellen Pullin (nee Smith) (b1821) (m1849)
3rd child - William Macintosh [*A] (b1856) and Elizabeth Gillson (b1862) (m1880)
5th child - Robert Macintosh (b1895) and Ellen Cain (b1898) (m1920)
(Robert and Ellen are my grandparents.)

Your line...
Starting with John Macintosh and Ann (married early 1780's)
4th child - James Macintosh (b1796) and Ann (b Ireland)
4th child - George Macintosh (b1826)
2nd child - William Macintosh [*B] (b1855)
1st child - John William Macintosh (b1887)

This gets more interesting in the 1891 Census for Middle St, Stockton...

My Great grandfather William (*A above) lived at No 1 Middle St with his wife Elizabeth
and four children.

William (*B above) lived at 3 Middle Street with his wife Margaret and one child.
William was born 1855 in West Hartlepool.

William (*A above) surname was given as McIntosh. His 3rd Child born 1889 was called John
BUT in the 1901 census was called John W. (John W wwas my grandfather's older brother)
 
William (*B above) surname was given an Macintosh. His only child was called John William (b1887)

It would seem the 5 generations and 100+ years on from John and Ann there would be TWO John William children born within 2 years off one another living in the same street in Stockton.

One further point..
My John William married Sara Jane Whitehead 02 Jan 1915 (Civil) and was married agin in St Mary's RC Church Stockton 01 Apr 1932.

John

Hello

The confusion over Robert Hunter Macintosh is compounded by the IGI record on batch P000901 (Wolsingham) where his surname is spelt Macintost?

This batch has christenings for all 5 John & Ann children.

The name Robert comes from his paternal grandfather. It is possible that the name Hunter could come from his maternal grandfather - either as a Christian name or as a surname.

It may be worthwhile researching Robert Hunters mother Ann with Hunter as a surname.
