Perthshire / Re: Campbells and Beatons in Aberfoyle and Gartmore
« on: Tuesday 03 September 19 06:05 BST (UK) »
Hi Gary,
I am just starting to research my Mothers side of the family which not much has ever been talked about. I have been on Ancestry.com and managed to trace a far bit of information. I have been fortunate enough to have a few pieces of information from my Mum and one of her sisters.
My Great Grandfather was Peter Luke; his wife Mary Ann Campbell. My Aunty said they lived in a house called Drum Lane. Once on Ancestry.com it didn't take me long to realise that it was Drumlane or Drumlean, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland.
When I went to look up where that was in Scotland your Question of Campbells and Beatons in Aberfoyle caught my eye and so I logged in. Imagine my surprise to read that Daniel Campbell is your Grandfather? You say you are Floras son? Well, Daniel Campbell is my Great, Great Grandfather and Mary Ann Campbell is your Mums older sister. Do I have that correct? I have come across your "Thistle 76" many times in Ancestry.com.
Peter Luke and Mary Ann emigrated to Australia in 1910. They had Hugh, Daniel Campbell and Peter (Junior) in Scotland and then Margaret in Australia, as well as a boy that didn't last a year which my Mum is not familiar with. Peter Luke (Jnr) is my Grandfather. He was three when they came out on the "Perthshire". My Mother is Mary Ann Eileen Grulke nee Luke and she is the eldest of the seven Luke children from Peter and Edna May (nee Harrison).
Let me know if there is anything I can help you with. We have very limited photos as my Grandmother was a bit of a terror and apparently got rid of a lot of photos. My Aunty might have a few. I think there could be one of family standing outside the Drumlean house?
Yours faithfully,
Angelique.
