Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help deciphering baptism register
« on: Thursday 09 January 20 06:01 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you Roger and Karen!

That's really helpful (and yes, I laughed about the fornication too!!), especially since I've noticed that marriage dates quite often precede birth dates by only a little while for quite a few of my ancestors, but they haven't been reprimanded like poor old Archibald and Effie  :)

The last map was also interesting for me because I've found ancestors at Auchagoyl and Millhouse, so was great to see those places too.

Thanks again,
Kathy

Hi,
First time poster, so please excuse any mistakes!  :P

I've attached an excerpt from the birth register of Archibald Lamont, son of David. It says that David is in ... "Tawny"?? Could that be correct?

Thank you!

Hi there,

I'm researching my Lamont family in Bute, so would be interested to know if you've found anything relevant to my descendants.

My GGrandfather was Alexander Lamont b.1870 in Kilfinan, he emigrated to South Africa which is where my father and I were born. But some of Alexander's siblings (and cousins I think) lived in Port Bannatyne. Siblings include:

-Margaret Lamont b.1866
-Isabella Lamont b.1867
-Hugh Lamont b.1868 m.Helen Martin
-Archibald Lamont b.1872 m.Catherine McKinnon
-Elizabeth Lamont b.1877 m.Duncan McCunn
-John Lamont b.1879
-Colin Lamont b.1881
-Mary Lamont b.1886

Alexander's parents were Coll Lamont b.1837 and Elizabeth McNicol b.1875

Thanks for your help,
Kathy

Hiya!

This is my first post, so please bear with me :)

gc1660, you posted on this thread (reply #68) that you have a list of Clan Lamont related births at Dunoon and Kilmun - I am researching my Lamont ancestors and would be very interested in this information.

I started with my GGrandfather, Alexander Lamont b.25 FEB 1870 in Kilfinan, d.26 APR 1927 in South Africa, and have been working back.
>Coll Lamont b.1837 m. Elizabeth McNicol
>Coll Lamont b.1803 m. Sarah Black
>Hugh Lamont b.1772 m. Catherine McLachlan
>Archibald Lamont (McPhorick?) b.1725 m. Marjory/Mary Baxter

>I'd like to check if I've correctly identified Archibald Lamont (McPhorick?) b.BEF 12 FEB 1769 • Dunoon and Kilmun as son of the above Archibald Lamont? (this second Archibald married Marrion Lamont/McPhorick b. BEF 17 NOV 1767 • Dunoon and Kilmun).

Thanks very much!
Kathy
