Fife / Re: Seaton/Seton/Setton/etc. family of Kennoway, Fife (1600's-1700's)
« on: Sunday 11 November 18 05:00 GMT (UK)  »
Re. your son in law's great great grandfather, Christopher SETON, surgeon of Kennoway, I have a Christopher SETON 1802-1861 (surgeon) married to Ann McALPIN 1812-1885. His parents were Christopher SETON and Margaret LAING (no dates for either of them) and have been unable to get them further back. Could this be the same Christopher you are referring to?

Fife / Re: any information on John Ramsay
« on: Tuesday 27 June 17 06:56 BST (UK)  »
Hello David,
Just in case it is of any interest to you, a daughter of John RAMSAY and Elizabeth AL(L)ISON named Margaret b.1829 was the mother of Agnes COOK (RAMSAY) 1849-1922. Her father was Alexander COOK (I have a suspect born in Kennoway about 1829).
I have a fair amount of data on Agnes COOK (RAMSAY) and am happy to send you whatever you want.

That was a quick response!
I would need a better clue or link to find your tree on ancestry.
I have a website http://www.myfamilytree.scot/ that has the MALLOY data I have researched, if it is of interest. Living persons are marked as private. Use the WILLIAMSONs of KENNOWAY tree, it's quicker to navigate than WAIFS and STRAYS

I have a lot data on this line. My wife, Frances (nee) Malloy descends from Neil & Sarah, through their son William b. 1879. They had  10 children.
Here is the first generation. RootsChat only allows a maximum of 5500 characters, so I would need to send you the full printout or, if you use genealogy software I can send you a GEDCOM to save you entering it manually.
I would appreciate learning more about your line.

Europe / Re: British Chaplaincy, St Petersburg, Russia
« on: Tuesday 10 November 15 13:01 GMT (UK)  »
I am working on a WILLIAMSON family, Robert WILLIAMSON born about 1801 in Kirkcaldy, married to Frances CUMMING born 9-11-1813 in Russia, died 1900 in Kirkcaldy. The death record has her age as 84. They had 9 children, all born in Russia. Her parents are Alexander CUMMING and Ida (surname unknown).
There appears to be two Frances CUMMINGs and there may be some confusion about them. Any clarification would be most appreciated.

Midlothian / Re: Smeatons
« on: Tuesday 26 May 15 08:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello Montana,
I was reviewing some of my old entries and came across your posting. You were looking for Ann(e) GIBSON's maiden name which I believe is GILMOUR. She was married to Daniel GIBSON who died in Glasgow on 11th August 1871. Daniel remarried someone called Mary, sadly I still have not found her maiden name, nor know if there were any children from this marriage (most unlikely), nor do I have any evidence that they did actually marry.

I notice that you are researching the GILMOUR surname so may now know some of this information.
Daniel GIBSON is my wife's 2nd Great-grandfather.
