Donald McCaskie b 22 May 1902 Jamieson Street, Bowmore. (Page 7 Number 20) Parents Neil & Margaret McCaskie nee Currie.

The caskies entered into my "Family" way back in 1860.

Caskie is spelled many different ways.

Cheers

I am searching for the Currie's of Islay.  Donald Caskie's second name was Currie, as was my grandmother's name (Catherine Currie). My father, who was Canadian visited his mother's place of birth (Islay), and met Donald Currie Caskie at that time.  Apparently after chatting, they discovered that they were cousins.  Could anyone give me some information regarding the ancestry of the Curries.

Welcome to Rootschat.

I think if you add some more info. such as dates or possible/near dates it may help?

Meanwhile, a quick search for a birth of a Currie (middle name) Caskie (surname) on Islay doesn't show up.

I liked this description in the Times, 18 Apr 1981
"... the Rev Dr Donald Caskie, the Tartan Pimpernel of Paris ..."

(Obituary of the Rev Isaac Dunbar, a fellow Scot)

His obituary in The Times, 29 Dec 1983, names his father as "Niel Caskie" and there's a Niel Caskie, farmer, age 38 with wife and 2 children (Donald yet to arrive 1902?) at Jamieson Street, Killarrow, Bowmore, Argyllshire on the 1901 Census..

Thankyou for your reply.  He was an amazing human being. His middle name was Currie, thus he was a cousin to my father.  I am interested in finding the Currie side of the family.  That was my grandmother's last name.  I also have read the book, which he signed and presented to my father whilst my father was visiting Islay from Canada.
