Hello Chloe and welcome to Rootschat.

This is an old thread and many of the posters have made only a few posts.  They should receive an email notification of your post and hopefully be in touch if they are still around.

Hi, I hope you don't mind me contacting you, I see a post here from 2013 so hope you pick this up. My name is Tricia Gray nee Boswell, my mother is Patsy Boswell nee Greig, her mother was Ada Greig nee Boswell born in 1898 and died at 99 years old and her mother and father were Hendry Greig and Ada Boswell. I think we might be related. We all live in Scotland now and my mother is 75 and can tell you anything you need to know about her granny and grandfather. You can get me on ^(*) if it is of interest to you. We would love to connect with family who knew of that era. Tricia X

Hi there!

I have no idea if this discussion is still open, the last comment was made almost a decade ago.
I was talking to my Glaswegian grandmother here in Australia about our family history. Her name is Annie, she's 91 now (b. 1933) her father was William Boswell Greig, a very short man, one of 9 siblings. His parents were Ada Boswell and Robert Henry Greig. I wonder if I am related to anyone here!

Absolutely 👍 let’s add your grandad Shadrach Meshach (“Micky”) Greig into the draft so others on RootsChat see the full picture.

Here’s the revised version:

Subject: Help tracing Greig & Boswell family (Glasgow / Aberdeen links)

Hello,

I’m researching my family tree and hoping someone with knowledge of the Greig and Boswell families might be able to help fill some gaps.
   •   My ancestor Meshach Greig was born 3 March 1891 at 49 Burnside Street, Glasgow.
   •   His parents were Robert Henry Greig, Iron Turner, and Ada Boswell.
   •   They married in 1883 at St Nicholas, Aberdeen.
   •   Ada Boswell’s parents were William Boswell (hawker) and Rebecca Jackson.
   •   I have also come across references to other Boswells in Glasgow and Hamilton (including an Oliver Boswell with children), and I’m wondering if/how these branches connect.
   •   My Greigs later lived around Burnside Street, Possilpark / Ashgill Street, Glasgow and were connected by marriage to the McAllister family.
   •   My grandfather Shadrach Meshach (“Micky”) Greig was born 1921 in Glasgow, son of Meshach Greig and Sarah McAllister. He later married Janet (Jenny) Gallacher in 1941 at Possilpark, Glasgow.

I’d be especially interested if anyone has:
   •   Information on siblings of Meshach Greig (b. 1891), or of his mother Ada Boswell.
   •   Any evidence of Boswell / Greig connections in Aberdeen or Glasgow in the late 1800s.
   •   Knowledge of nicknames like “Zuby” Greig or similar in Boswell/Greig families.

Many thanks in advance — any leads or shared knowledge would be greatly appreciated!
