Perthshire / Re: Tinkers: McArthurs
« on: Monday 12 February 18 10:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Liz,

I recently started doing my family tree and stumbled across this. My family descends back to McArthur Tinkers / Travellers in the Dundee/Tayside area through my Grandfather. My Grandfather Peter McLaren's [1930-2003] mother was Isabella (Bella) McArthur [1894-1960], whose father was James McArthur [approx 1865 - unknown]. I have only done so much digging, but I do have the original certificates for Isabella ... etc.

On the other side of the fence, my Grandfather's father Peter McLaren (senior) [approx 1896 - unknown] and his parents John McLaren [approx 1874 - unknown] and Betsy McLaren [approx 1868 - unknown] were also Tinkers / Travellers.

I have logged all this on "ancestry" along with photos ... etc, and can invite you in if you forward on your email address.

Regards
Steven

Hi Garry,

Please try to PM me now, it should work... let me know if it doesn't.

I have attached a photo of the McLaren family (one line of it anyway...). The older couple on the left is believed to be John (Jock) McLaren (~1874) and his wife Betsy McLaren (~1868), my great great grand parents. The lad 3rd from.the right is believed to be Peter McLaren ~1896 (my great grand father). Peter had a string of kids to his wife Isabella McArthur ~1894, but one was my grand father also named Peter McLaren -1930. They were all in the Barry, Arbroath, Dundee area....

Thanks
Steven

Hi Garry,

I know this post is old but I have strong McLaren and Tinky ties in the Dundee area within my family tree. Feel free to email me for more info.
