Hi Mary.
 Hopefully i will get your picture of the house at Bridge of Teith soon.
Was talking to a friend the other day who reminded me that there was a fall out within the church and a few of the congregation moved to the Auldlicht church in Doune including the Rev Hislop.

Hey Kenny is that my brother you are referring to? I saw him yesterday and he didnt mention that he had heard from you. What is it you want to ask him?

Nel - I am v interested in what you say about the Kennedys. My ggg grandmother was Catherine Kennedy. Her father was John Kennedy.

I havent been able to find much info on the family - she married Henry Donaldson at Port of Menteith in 1832.  It says "Henry Donaldson parishioner son of Donaldson Dunfermline and Catherine Kennedy daughter of John Kennedy of Carnock "

In 1841 the couple are living at Shuttle Street Kincardine. They don't appear on later censuses but some of their children do - living with various other families in Kincardine and Kilmadock.

A bit of a mystery!  Is this connected to your family do you think?

Hi Kenny - His name is Gordon Roberts and yes he lives in France, he has been away for a while but should be home about now.
He is descended from David Lauder 1789-1875 and Margaret Anderson 1793-1861, their son William Lauder 1818-1850 married Janet McKay 1820 who was the daughter of Duncan mcKay and Janet McLarin (no dates for these) . the son of William and Janet was Duncan a Lauder 1855-1892 married Margaret McPherson 1860-1913, and it was their daughter Elizabeth Lauder that came to Australia in 1913 her husband was John Albion Gordon and they settled eventually in Queensland.
This is from the potted history he sent me Kenny. Will p.m. you his e.mail adds later.
Regards Pat
