what a surprise, i google livingstone cadder and come up with you. from the few sketchy notes left behind by mother i see the name bessie (beatrice) , isle of butte, port banatine north of rothsay , father mcbride . also the names katie , willie livingstone ( mother bessie) i too have always been told we were related to david livingstone but have never been able to find the connection. i think you and i must be related. my great grandmother was janet maclean, born june 26 1864, her mother was mary livingstone, her father was charles maclean. in auchinloch, near lenzie east of glasgow, there is a small house called "morven cottage" . bill livingstone lived in that cottage. next door is a larger home where uncle alan maclean lived. mary maclean (nee livingstone) was a farm labourer at broomknowes - east of auchinloch. my granny lived in glasgow but they all went to auchinloch on weekends and often walked to wallace's well for a good luck drink. these people were always going to rothesay to visit relatives, yours i assume. because of the cottage i have always thought they must have come from morvern. enough for today, thanks for post, its given me quite a few clues. did you ever get your david livingstone links figured out? have you heard they finally deciphered his last note found clutched in his dying hand.
