Renfrewshire / Re: Lyle - Lyles family from Renfrewshire
« on: Tuesday 04 March 08 15:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hi RedFox...it is quite a number of years since I totally lost and confused myself among the Lyle's in my ancestry.  Indeed it is over a year since I did ANY genealogical researchfor any name..  My Lyle research was eventually much helped by a David Bratchie Lyle sometime of Australia and latterly back in the Lake district in England where  he may have become unable to continue his research???. He was a massive font of knowlege on many barnches of the Lyles ( from all over as I recall.)  I'll try my last known email address to see if he is still researching....and pass him on to you if that is suitable to you both.  Perhaps he is back working on it again...will let you know.

Personally I didn't take my Lyles back to 1732... I have checked a ' lump' of research on that point today. Although I did find in Family research, pedigree resource File ( gathered purely for interest..the following:-Rognvald Sumarlidasson De L'Isle
b. about 1148 d. abt 1207 ( both in Argylshire ) Submission search681346-122199011504.     ...Just to add a bit more info on the Lyle/Lisle/ Lyall/ Leill   surnames which all are reputed to be related at one point in the past...???!!!!But who really knows??

I do agree many of the naming patterns were sooooo very similar in past years...which is probably why I attached myself ...only to find out much later...to the wrong branch of the Lyles.  My disappointment at that time was probably the reason for my long abstinence from Lyle research!!
 Also in my research ' lump' found....note of a Robert Lyle and  wife Mary Cochrane ( he said to be a farmer in Kilmalcolm Renfrewsh.
b.c.1763 parents unknown d aged 30 1793 almost certaily in Paisley. ( info from * back in jan 2004 )
Most of my Lyles I eventually found came from Houston and Kilellan and Kilmalcolm and later in Erskine and Paisley in Renfreshire too....and were farmers also.... nb James Lyle & Janet Yeats/Yates Ditch Farm Erskine Renfrew. in 1881. Believe one of his sons ( either James b.c1860 or John b c. 1874 went abroad to ? USA .. )  possible to farm too??.

This is the best I can do today, RedFox. Prhps best to contact me offline * if that suits? when I will help further if I can??!!  Moira C

Hi Monica....don't worry about it......after a year of researching your own branch of the MacDonalds....you are forgiven ....WE are forgiven for " inter-generational  confusion " ( IF there is such a phrase???).    I would have  noticed it myself had I not found a great account of the MCDonalds within their community of Balintore RoC...last night , which I have been reading online this morning . (www.rchs.uhi.ac.uk/communit/p37/ht/hy/DTTS/Cover.html  if you or anyone with Ross & Cromarty connections are interested.)
Thanks again Monica...I'm most impressed that you are still considering MY McDonald problems this morning!!!!   ;D TA!!

Thank you very much Monicalesl....I hadn't got as far as the 1841
Census...that was a help ta.  I had found approx 68 McDonalds in Fearn in1851 index....so had no clue who lived where /with whom.
I think I ran myself ragged at that time and turned my attention to other domestic duties ...shutting the door tight on my pc!!!! :-[

I am aware that Janet Corbet was jean McDonald's own mother's name so presume the 20 year old could have been  a relative of hers.

Looks as though there's a lot more McD. research to be done ..thank you for your help and encouragement.

            Are you aware of the Lyles Surname Resource Centre on 
            geocities.com ?
     
             Have Lyles in my ancestry also but not your branch it seems.
             Lyles in Renfrewshire are almost as numerous as Smiths...
             if you get my drift..  ;D
