Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Decifer Duncan McIntyre Marriage REcord
« on: Tuesday 21 September 21 18:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi Bec. That's great! John Archibald is one of my all time favorite family members. I have found quite a lot of information about his very busy land transactions and his busy life in all the newspaper articles. I'm descended from his brother Duncan. His daughter Jessie was the mother of my grandmother, also named Jessie. And I've have been trying to find out as much as I can about the family all the way back into Scotland as well as all their descendants. So I would love to share notes with you. Let me know when you're back into it. Best wishes. Rod.

Thanks a lot for replying. Yes indeed that's the same line. Archibald and Jessie are my grandmother's great-grandparents. Thanks to your original question I was able to find that the Catherine and Duncan mentioned on the burial record really are Archibald's parents.

As you know, Catherine was buried in 1841 in St Mungo's New Burial Ground in Duncan's lair 2/24D (middle of 24D) and from the burial record from 1835 of Archibald's daughter Elizabeth, she was also buried at St Mungo's in a lair adjoining 19D, just a few lairs up from 24D.

Of course I have come to a dead end going back any further. There really are too many Duncan McIntyres in Scotland and everywhere else. But I have found that Archibald and his father Duncan were at one time, Shoemakers in Eglinton Street Lauriston and Archibald's brothers ran an Academy round the corner in Norfolk Street before they migrated to Australia.

Are you related to any of them?

Hi Bec. Duncan and Catherine McIntyre are my ancestors going back six generations. I'm also looking for the records of their births and marriage. The place on the record listing their offspring is 'Unachan' badly transcribed as 'Munachan' probably from 'Aonachan' an earlier name. The mother is listed as Kathrine Kennedy. Have you any further information to say that the Catherin McIntyre marrying the Duncan McIntyre in Kilninver and Kilmelfort Parish is actually the Kathrine Kennedy on the children's birth records?

Lanarkshire / Re: Halling's Land whereabout Lanark
« on: Sunday 14 March 21 11:48 GMT (UK)  »
I'm a bit late for the party but Catherine Halling's daughter Jessie in Australia was my great-grandmother. I should be able to help you locate Hallings Land. It was situated in a part of Garscube Road which was later called Main Street and is now known as Maryhill Road. The Mr. McLachlan mentioned in the advertisement for the sale of the house was her brother-in-law Peter McLachlan and was the one who reported her death. But why are you looking for this - are you also a descendent? Can we compare notes?
