Rangers FC Callander research

[miltonbank]

Hi everyone

I'm looking for anyone with a connection to a Peter McBeath and Jane (Duncanson) McBeath, who lived and raised a family in Callander in the 1840-1860 period.
Peter was a general merchant/grocer of Main Street and he died in 1865. Wife Jane died in Glasgow in 1872.
One of their sons, William (Duncanson) McBeath (later known as MacBeth) was one of the four founders of Rangers FC.
I'm trying to trace anyone who may know a little more about the family from their time in Callander and, fingers tightly crossed (!) any present day connections there may be with the M(a)cBe(a)ths.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Elspcam

Great picture and although I will try to verify the next time I'm in Stirling library, I'm almost absolutely convinced there is no connection between the MacBeth Trophy and the M(a)cBe(a)th of Rangers fame.
The family moved to Glasgow soon after the death of the father, Peter McBeath, in 1864 (apols, not 1865 as stated above) and the Callander connection came to an end.
It's understood William later moved to England (approx 1880) and did not return to Scotland to live.
Thanks for taking the time to post - again, all info gratefully received.
