     ;D  Hi People, yep, I'm still here,
                   Did we ever find out what Claude's second name was "R".

                                         ;) Lesanne  ;)

Not sure what you mean - Claude doesn't have a middle name on any of the census entries.  ???

So with just 2 days left -  I have 2 questions.

Who will be the Moderator for & chose the next challenge?

How do we put ALL this info we have found into a logical/chronological order ? (probably someone has to import into software and then GEDCOM) and then submit to LDS as an ancestral file.

And can all this info be put up as a webpage, somewhere?

JoT has kindly accepted to host next month's Challenge - watch for her post!

I have all the info for June entered in my software, but when this was discussed earlier, some reticencies were voiced about submitting it to LDS.  At that point I proposed a webpage here on RootsChat, which seemed to meet with approval.  I suggest dividing it into the 4 main family lines (Robertson, Molison, Muir and King), which was the only way I found practical for the summaries once the info started flooding in.

If anyone has any suggestions for the webpage, or wants to contribute, please could they PM me!

Annie, at least you seem to have found the Maule who submitted all the Panmure information on the LDS site.  If they can claim connection to the Pres then I'm sure ours should be able to somehow too  ;D ;D ;D

Congratulations JoT, I'm sure you will do it wonderfully, you have come up with some excellent research during this one.

Re the origin of 'Maule' - or 'William Maule' - in the name of William Maule MOLISON.

Perhaps - depending on the political sympathies of the family and/or their military involvement - his middle name might not have been a family name but rather he might have been named in honour of some notable person e.g. General William MAULE, Earl of Panmure of Forth 1700-1782?

For information about this chap and his family see:
http://www.maulefamily.com/brianarchive/biog2.htm

JoT mentioned that info received from Michael was that the father of William Maule MOLISON was a James - I've had a quick look through the thread but can't seem to locate that (not surprising, I guess, given the length of the thread!).   Do we know where Michael found that information?  Perhaps James might have served under General William MAULE?

That's an interesting idea, JAP, especially as William was born about the time General Maule died.  WMM followed a military career, so maybe his father did too, as you suggest.

By way of total diversion, I started reading the biography of John Peel, the Radio 1 and 4 presenter who died last year.


Interestingly, Peel was born in 1939 as John Parker Ravenscroft in Heswall in the Wirral, near Liverpool, the son of an upper middle class cotton merchant,.  He later moved to Dallas, Texas.

Just the odd co-incidences that appealed! :)

cheers
