Hi Carrie,

Not a clue as to occupation!

As for the name....I've found at least 15 different spellings of this name. Don't think I've found your McKissock....will certainly give it a go.

They were mostly from Perth but some did move to Fife and died there, I believe. But not doing very well with them yet!

Thanks for the link.

Best,  Sheilah

Hi Bruce,

Sorry, think you have mixed me up with Cornes....he is the one commenting on 'Ronald McDonald'

My ancestors mentioned in this thread are the McIsaac/ McKisaik family from Comrie, Perth.

Hope you find yours,

 Sheilah

Hello BruceL,
Yes, I well know the effects of doing things in a hurry!

Mary Ann Melvil was, as far as I can work out, the last of the 6 children born to Daniel Robertson and Catherine.

Catherine, well, an enigma if ever there was! I have her surname on various documents..children's BCs, marriage.. with so many variations. The IGI seems very fussy about turning up variations on this name (although not on any other names I have researched) and seems to require the exact spelling before it turns up all variations of McIsaac.  I have found the following variations, as well as just plain Isaac.

McIsaac    McKisack    McKiasack     McKiasach    McKiasaick     McKisaick   McKiasaich   McKisaich  McIsaack

I would welcome any help at all in trying to trace these Robertsons and McIsaacs. I know they came from Perth and travelled to Fife , and that Catherine is most likely also a Drummond. There seem to be very few people I have come across researching Perth!

Warmest wishes,

Sheilah

Thanks for the link, Duckweed. No, I hadn't seen it until now. It's very interesting .

Cheers, Sheilah
