Kirkcudbrightshire / Re: Crown & Thistle - Gatehouse of Fleet
« on: Wednesday 14 October 09 16:30 BST (UK) »
Hello
I am new to Rootschat so excuse any imcompetence! I am tracing my McMillan side of the family (grandmothers maternal line).
Jessie McMillan (great grandmother) was married in the Ship Inn, Gatehouse in 1908 to James Davidson. Her mother was Margaret McMillan (nee Brown) and father was William McMillan (a sea captain). She had 2 sisters Margaret and Agnes and a brother, Nicholas.
I beleive their house is still there in Fleet Street.
Anyone with any information or recollations of the McMillans please get in touch. We are particularly interested to know the name of my great great grandfathers ship which was lost at sea. I promised my great aunt (who died 2 years ago) that I would try and find out.
Many thanks
Ann
