A girl called Fortable!

[sancti]

I think the address of James' second marriage may be Lynedoch Street in Greenock. Maybe a search on deaths around 1870 Renfrewshire will show the name of his 1st wife

HI Scatza

I saw your post on this website and thought I'd reply to see how far it goes.

My name is Charlene Petersen and I live in Cape Town, South Africa.
My mom's maiden name is McClune and she is the eldest daughter of Thomas McClune, his wife Sophia McClune.

My mom from what she told me, her dad's father is from Scotland and he and his brother moved to South Africa after the War and married South African women.

Her grandmother's name was Anne or Anna. I'm not too sure of all the detail, but will have to spend time with my mom's side of the family whom I have'nt seen in ages.
They are trying to locate lost family and loved ones, as they strongly believe they are related to the Scotland Mcclune Family.

For now I only have listed the names of my mother's brother's and sisters if it means anything: (*)

Mom's Dat Thomas Mcclune married Sophia they lived on a farm in Wolsely, Cape Town


Pls let me know if this information means anything to you and write back if you require any information or pics I may have omitted


Kind Regards
Charlene

Is it possible that this F stands for Fortable? Has someone already looked at the birth certificate?

Fortable McKenna b. abt 1876 David Meikle McKenna are my Great Grand parents. i have ask family members about the name Fortable and all they say is that the name came from a ships name. i have been trying to find Fortable Cambell without success. and have concluded that it is most likely that Isabella Campbell Simers if intact Fortable Campbell Simers. with Fortable being a family pet name.
