Brunton Barr born 4 Aug. 1803, Govan

[fortitude]

I would like to find some information on Brunton Barr, daughter of James Barr and Margaret Bachop, she married James Donald 3 JUL 1824. I find Brunton to be a very odd name for a female, unless this was her middle name, maybe named after someone from her father or mothers family. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know if they married into the Speirs/Spears/Spiers family?

We had Barrs in ours from Scotland.

I have not yet found that name in my search of the Barrs. What Barrs are in your family and at what time?

[rob shaw]

I have no Brunton, only I think Barr...
not researched it all yet, still trying to sort the later members.

had speirs going back to barr's in socotland...not sure of line...only tentative...no brunton...maybe it was a family name like mine is shaw so they called the kid mary shaw smith, sort of.

try the igi...just do a parent search..
go to right hand side of screen and put in father's name, then mother if you have it, and nothing else.

click go, and all kids of parents of those names come up.

see how you go.  robyn shaw. toowoomba. qld. oz.

Thanks for the reply, I already had this information. I have some info on the Barr side and can't find the name Brunton, must be from the Bachop family. Thanks again.

Bit of a long shot, but I keep trying!!

Would you have any link at all, to the Barr family in St Lawrence St Greenock?
parents were Neil Barr & Janet (nee Cameron)
they had a son James Gilmour Barr b.1869 born at Arthur St Greenock. possible that in 1881 James was in the Kibble Reformatory, Paisley.

James had an illegitimate son (my father) James McCulloch born 1896 in Port Glasgow to Christina McCulloch

Just a thought Mars, have you tried contacting The Kibble to see if they still hold their records from that date ?

A contact email is on their web site and is graham.bell [at] kibble.org
