Hi Pat.

OK with the e-mail addy.

I'll give you mine as a bonus. :)

It is a tad nippy in Wodonga. Snow showers in the alps and about 8C here now.... brrrr....  ;D

Hi Pat.

Thanks for the heads up!

I've been busy connecting your data to my Beazley-Crisdale Family Tree at Ancestry  ;)

I think it all means we are 5th cousins   :)  (at least that what my Legacy software tells me!) Isabel McAlpine (1779) is one of my many 3rd great grandaunts.

Elizabeth (b.1792) McAlpine's son William (b.1819) is my 2nd gt grandfather, his daughter Sophia Sinclair McAlpine (b. 1873) is my gt granny and her daughter Eliza 'Ella' Duncan (b.1899) is my grandmother on my fathers side.

Phew!

Cheers,

Jeff

As a lot of people on this forum live abroad, i thought i could be of some assistance in tracking down headstones in Kilmadock Parish (Doune,Deanston area) and get some pictures to send .
There are 3 main graveyards in the Parish, Old Kilmadock,New Kilmadock and 1 at the rear of the Old church of Scotland in Doune itself.
If this can be of help to anyone contact me on this post or by personnel
message. 

Hi monks09!

Wow. What a kind offer. Where could I begin?  ;D

See my last post to patvp1 which lists a couple of my ancestors whose headstone/grave might still be visible at the old Kilmadock church yard?

I also have a huge stack of McAlpine ancestors who lived (and many who presumably died although I can't find clearly identifiable IGI records) in and around the Port of Menteith, Gartmore, Deanston & Doune during the 1680-1920+ period.

ANY lists of McAlpine burials from Parish records you might be able to find in those areas would be FANTASTIC.

Needless to say, pics of any McAlpine headstones and of some countryside in those areas would be an absolute bonus, since as stated in my other post, my chances of ever making it back to the land where my Scots ancestors roamed is remote to say the least  :( .

Cheers!

Hi Patvp

Elizabeth McAlpine (d. 21 Mar 1870, Burnside Cottages, Kilmadock) and Walter McAlpine (d. 21 Nov 1868, Burnside Cottages, Kilmadock) are my 3rd great grandparents! Hopefully a headstone still exists for them at the old Kilmadock churchyard?

Also, their son John (d. 1872, Kilmadock) may  have been buried there too, plus some more of their children? Actually, pics of any McAlpine headstones may be useful (got so many McAlpine ancestors in the vicinity it is not funny... esp. Port of Menteith & Deanston / Kilmadock families!

From what I can see from Google Earth, the old Burnside Cottages just south of the old Kilmadock Church yard have been erased from the face of the earth. I now have these sites clearly marked in my Google Earth Places  :D

However, I too would be greatly appreciative and much interested in seeing some photos of the old Burnside Cottages area and any pics of the old Kilmadock church ruins & McAlpine headstones if any.

Sadly, at my advancing age, limited finances and living in Wodonga, Victoria, Australia, I see little hope of ever visiting the wonderful places my ancestors lived in Bonnie Scotland.  :'(

Oh well. A few piccies could cheer me up!

I have paid Scotland GRO for death certs for Walter McAlpine (1868), wife Elizabeth (1870),  son William (1880) if anyone interested.

Nice to meet you !!   ;)
