« on: Monday 30 August 10 19:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Just checking out Dunbartonshire and found your enquiry.
I have not been to Dumbarton Cemetery but have you tried contacting the Library and I have a good contact                                       dumbarton.local.history[at]west-dunbarton.gov.uk   
They might not be able to answer your exact question but will know who you should ask./
Good luck
Tricia.

Dunbartonshire / Re: WWI visitor to Luss
« on: Saturday 10 November 07 10:55 GMT (UK)  »
Sorry Elbe don't seem to find one in my tree,  that's not saying there's not a connection, just that I've not gone into the McFarlane's in Luss to any great extent.
I do know that there are a lot of Bain's in Luss.
I was going into the Glen's side of my tree, my grandmother's family.
Were you aware that there was a soap called "Take the High Road" which was on British tv during the 80's and early 90's that was filmed at Luss, it was on daily for about 10 years I think. I remember my Dad telling us, but at the time not really taking that much notice, if only.
I will try and do a bit of research and see if I can find them, as if you go far enough back they all seem to be connected, I also have a memorial inscriptions book of Luss grave yard, so will check that out also, sad I know.

Will get back to you.
Regards  Tricia.

Dunbartonshire / Logan's of Bonhill - USA ?
« on: Sunday 04 November 07 21:58 GMT (UK)  »
I have a been looking into a story my father told me many years ago, until now I have been unable to find a connection but last week I found in the 1881 census a strange thing.
I was looking for my great great grandmother Janet McGregor married to a James Logan and found them visiting with thier son James born 1849 and wife Mary and thier children, but as I looked down one of the children was born in USA in 1874 the other children born in Bonhill/Alexandria before and after John in USA, so for some reason they came back.
The story he told me was that a family had gone out to USA and were murdered on a farm they lived on. James the father of John had three brothers Malcom, John and Walter, my thoughts were that maybe one of these brothers went out and the family was killed. Sadly my father died in 1991 and there is no family to ask.
I have looked up on LDS site and on imigration but cant find any mention of the family.
Has anybody got any thoughts of where to look.

Dunbartonshire / Re: Anyone familiar with Bonhill Parish placenames?
« on: Sunday 04 November 07 21:30 GMT (UK)  »
I think that the place names you are looking for might be the names of farms or houses they either lived or work at, have you looked at the old-map.co.uk site, quiet often they give the names of houses and farms.
Just a thought, as I have found that to be the case when I have looked.
good luck.

I have family born in Luss and buried in the church yard there, its a beautiful place.
Dumbarton Library have a very good researchers and if you email they might be able to send you in the right direction.
dumbarton.local.history@west-dunbarton.gov.uk>;
I know they have micro film of the Lennox Hearld going back to 1850, but don't know if it covers Luss, but worth a try, I'm sure they can advise you.
