Looking for leads

You're such a romantic, Monica

Don't forget Sancti, that if it weren't for love, we wouldn't be here researching, nevermind doing anything else.   

Over the weekend I'm going to sort through what info I've got now, and try to put some sort of picture together.  I'm away at our "weekend home" as we call it, which just means that I'm at our trailer, or "caravan" I think you guys call it, until next week.  Monday or so, I'm going to get back on SP and do some digging to confirm all of this.

Sancti, I think you've hit the nail on the head with that marriage! 

This family story is full of twists and turns, death and love, and mystery, of course!!!  My aunt who still lives up in Timmins was able to sneak around and find some old newspaper clippings and provide a little more information, but I know she's driving herself mad waiting for me to finally shed some light on our "mystery". 

You guys have been great!!  thanks for your help - it's been the key to figuring things out!  I'm sure there will be MUCH more digging - this is only one side of the family and the other side has it's own "mystery" that no one's been able to figure out yet either!

Happy New Year,

Just joined the site after searching on google and finding a hit on Duthart/Wishaw.

I'm the son of Mary Dunlop Duncan (Ray), Born 1933, daughter of Andrew Duthart (coal miner) Bellside,Clelland, & Mary Sutherland, Loch Awe,Ardchattan.
(Married 3rd January, 1918 with a Maggie Douthart as a witness).

My mother's family were based in the Wishaw area and her father, I believe, came from Shotts.
I understand she was a cousin of Alex Duthart the pipe band drummer, so if anyone recognises a connection I'd would love to hear from you and anything you can add to the family tree.

God bless,


Derek

Hi Derek - I have a connection to Alex Duthart, and know much more than I did when I posted this!  I don't know what information I can help you with but I can try!  Likewise, I hope!

Hi Beth,

Thank you for the quick reply!

I'm just trying to build up a picture of my mum's side of the family and especially to get to the root of the origination of the Duthart/Douthart name. My mum passed away three years ago and I'm also interested to know more of where the Dutharts have spread to over the years.

I remember being taken to meet Alex Duthart the drummer at a highland games event and being told we were related (second cousin removed?) and that my mum's father came from kiltinney in Coleraine (Born 1892, son of John Douthart). Interesting how the surname interchanges between Duthart and Douthart regularly.

Any info you have surrounding the names would be appreciated. It's funny, but my mum always thought the name came from the french and was a corruption of the surname 'du Toit' and now I find myself now trying to solve the mystery

Hi!

Alex was either a cousin (first or second) or an uncle to my grandmother, but I can't remember which.  Once I found the "right trail" I gave up on the Duthart connection, although there is a connection.  Sorry I can't be of any help with the name though!

Ok Beth, it was worth a shot and I'm sure someone will post something at some point in the future.

Many thanks again and hope you'll find answers to your thread/leads.

Hey, I just found some notes I had scribbled down.  Alex Duthart, born 1925, Cambusnethan.  Parents: John Duthart and Martha Taylor, married: 1917 - Shotts.  Martha could have been some close relation to Susan Taylor who was related to my grandmother.

Anything else I find, I'll pass on! Please do the same.

Just a few comments from Northern Ireland 
The name almost always seems to appear as Douthart in the 1800s/early 1900s and found in several clusters although many sharing the same first names which may indicate a family link further back in time.
There are actually 4 Kiltinneys in the Coleraine area- Kiltinney Lower & Upper in Macosquin Parish, and Kiltinney Beg & More in Ballyaghran Parish.
If I'm reading the thread correctly then it is an Andrew Douthart supposed to be born 1892 Kiltinney but I can find no such birth registration.
If you'd like a bit more on the Coleraine Doutharts let me know.
