Stirlingshire / Re: Mackison Maxwell alias in St. Ninians
« on: Thursday 07 April 22 05:47 BST (UK) »
I have an oddity that might link. I am descended from George Mackison m Mary Jack 1814 yet all their children were surnamed Maxwell. Doing my Ancestry DNA and the matches. I have ZERO Mackison matches but, at the 5th-8th cousin I have multiple Maxwell matches with what look like well researched trees back through Maxwells. 5-8th means our common ancestor was Georges father- ggGrandfather.
Perhaps instead of a Mackison using a Maxwell alias, you should be looking for a Maxwell using a Mackison alias. Working as a ploughman at Parkhead near Stirling, perhaps he was hiding out.....
Interesting but frustrating research...
