Hi Catherine,

I just had a look at your family tree page and I think that we might be related.  I'm from Afleck, McGill, McMillan, Jessimer branch.  It seems that your tree does not have Andrew McMillan (the youngest) on it and that is where my branch comes from.  I have a copy of the marriage certificate for Andrew so I know his mother and father from that.

Please contact me so we can discuss further.

Hi Mary,

I believe that we have just sent emails back and forth on another site.  It is now positive that we are related through the Jessimers.

Let me know if this is not the same Mary that I have just emailed but I think it is.

Hi,

My grandmother's date of birth was 1919.  What year are you talking about?  I have 2 James born in 1828 1899 that I'm not sure about their history yet but they are on the list of family that I will be looking at.  I haven't found the Mullin link yet but I have only gone back to the early 1900's with information.  I do have some birth records for the 1800's but not much more than that.

It seems kinda strange that there would be 2 Sarah Scott Mullin (Muir) in the same area.  I can't see that being a popular name, it seems very family distinctive.  What other information do you have and maybe we can figure it out.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Monica,

Thank you so much for the information about Ann/Agnes.  That is the birth certificate of our Ann and the marriage license of our Agnes McDonald.  She remarried my gg grandfather in 1872.  The age of Catherine seems to be a bit confusing.  Catherine's death certificate states she was 64 when she died and the census shows that she was 80 in 1881 but on ScotlandsPeople when you first search and the page comes up, her age shows at 70 but I am wondering if her age was actually 60 at the time of the census which would actually put that about the right age.  My Catherine in the 1881 census puts her birth place of Isle of Skye which is originally what made me look this up.

So according to that time schedule Catherine would have been born in 1820 which would have made her 25 when she had Agnes (my gggran) and 45 when she had Maggie.  But if this Maggie is the daughter of my ggggran Catherine, she would have already been deceased when Maggie got married in 1887 and the marriage certificate does not state that she was deceased.

I would love to find out if Agnes and Maggie are sisters.  It would be amazing to put this together.

Hi,

We should talk, my great-great grandmother was Agnes Gilligan, ms McDonald.  She married my great-great grandfather Michael in 1872 and lived on Queens Street in Govan at the time.  She had been married previously to a man named McCallium (?) and had a daughter named Annie.  In 1881 Cenus she lived with Michael, Annie, Edward, John and her mother Catherine.  Agnes' mother was Catherine and her father was Finlay McDonald.  According to her marriage license her mother's maiden name was also McDonald but that her mother Catherine was deceased in 1872 when she married my gggrandfather.  That can't be possilbe if Catherine was living with them in 1881.  Really not sure what to make of it but she also had 2 daughters with Michael named Mary and Kate (Catherine?).

Anyway, let me know what other information you have and I'll forward anything that I have to you or if you need anything like address' from my information just let me know.  By the way, Michael also died at Govan Poorhouse Merryflats in 1897 which appears to be the same place that Catherine died.

We could have found family if in deed Maggie and Agnes were sisters.

Hi -

I know this might be strange but I decided to write to you because my grandmother from Scotland, Gorbals, name was Sarah Scott Mullin Muir Jessimer Gilligan.  I have found that Jessimer was originally Muir/Moir.  I have researched my family tree to find a few James, Williams and David Muir to be my family line on my grandmother's side.  I'm not sure if I am looking in the right direction because I need to research this further but the name thing got me thinking.  My family line comes from Glasgow and Gorbals (which I believe are very close)  maybe there is something here.

Could you please just drop me a line to let me know if it is at all possible.   I'm keeping my finger crossed.
