Hi Bruce,
I am searching for information about the birth of James Stewart (c1843) son of James Stewart and Mary Drummond.  also the death of James Stewart (father) between 1842 (aprox) and 1851.
Census material says that James jnr.  was born in Muthill and by 1851 Mary was living in muthill with a second husband - John Milne.
Thanks a lot

Hello Bruce,
     Is there still a chance for you to have a look for the following Baptisms.
John Drummond b 22.11.1796. His father was John as well but there is a bit of a difference in family as to his mothers name and whether he was the John Drummond who married May McGregor sometimes written as Marjory. Look forward to your responce.

Hi Scoobie2010

The book I have is the Episcopalian register of baptisms which only contains details of the episcopalian baptisms not Church of Scotland.
As for your enquiry there are no Drummonds listed for 1796. There are only 7 baptisms in total for 1796.

Yours Aye

Thankyou for responding to my request.

G'Day Bruce,

Hope I'm doing this correctly. I've begun to trace my paternal line which appears to end in the Muthill region.
I'm a direct descendant of Alexander Tainsh who married Janet McGregor - Alexander was born 1785 and his parents were James Tainsh and Janet McEwan . I'm getting a wee bit stuck from here on in and was hoping you could have a look at your document and perhaps see if the line continues back?

Regards
JT

Hi Bigjocky

Tainsh and certainly McEwan were common names in Muthill I have McEwans in my own family

Hi JT

I am sorry there is nothing in the register with the names you have given me.

If you do a parent search in the IGI it gives children born within both families and they are extracted entries. It may give you an idea as to naming pattern and enable you to search backwards, there are earlier tainsh, tansh families in Muthill and surrounding area's

Good Luck
Yours Aye
