McIntosh McBean Dores

Yes Monica

That is the family. It is very frustrating to have such detailed info but not be able to find birth details.

Fullerton was not common at all in Scotland at that period so where it came from I do not know I suspect it was spurious to hide the past. Dores was not that big population wise and there was only one couple with the combination of names, although no shortage of McIntosh's and McBean's.   Though it appears just about all the siblings had no progeny.

The only other route is to see if the Kirk Session records have anything of what may have been a local scandal.

Wilhelmina McIntosh Fullerton (1859-08/02/1935) was my Great-Grandmother.

She was married to John Hunter on 20/04/1888 at 12 James Place, Govan and had five children

Donald McIntosh (1883-?)
David Hunter (1888-07/07/1970)
George Hunter (30/12/1894-12/10/1977)
Charles Gilmour Hunter (07/06/1897-03/11/1976)
Frederick Soutar (06/10/1902-15/07/1979)

She lived at 14 Hamilton Street, Govan at the time of her marriage

There was also a daughter Margaret born Govan 1900. She married Patrick Boyle.

Donald eventually took the name James McIntosh Hunter. He married Agnes Gillies and died in Glasgow in 1954.

Finally popped past Inverness to look up records. Staff very helpful but nothing in the Kirk Session records. a massive gap in minutes (not missing pages but 20 years lapse in the book). Nothing mentioned in the 1883 period. 

I have discovered that one Daughter of May and Donald, Mary MacKintosh (b 1858) married John Urquhart (b 1857c) in Inverness. She died in Inverness in 1929.

Re' Fullerton/Fullarton, an Ayrshire name also Angus. Common enough in Glasgow.

Thanks.

No I did not have this info from the MI. Can you tell me which cemetery it is from?  I suspect my ancestor may be a McBean as she had at least one sister Mary (b 1827c) who had a son in 1851c Duncan Grant. I can trace him up to 1901 but he never married. It may be this Mary or another sister had Mina. There is no trace of a husband in the census records for Mary.  So much information  for such a brick wall!

Thanks that is very helpful. As I passed Tomnahurich the other week it crossed my mind I might be missing something. Just as well I didn't  waste my time there.
