Mackintosh family tree's

[jennymack]

Thank you - I've never had a pm before so I'm not sure why the box is full, I haven't worked out how to get to it yet actually!
No, I've not investigated James and Ann really, but I have seen details of the marriage of John Mackintosh's father John to Euphame in Edinburgh. She appears to have come from Orkney, but knowing her and her father's name doesn't help much as there are LOADS of people with the same names in the same place.
It is possible that John snr ( the Edinburgh one) is the merchant mentioned on the internet as winning the "Edinburgh Arrow" archery prize, but of course he may not be. Still lots to find out.

Hi jennymack,

You need to make one more post, so people can PM you, and you can PM them.

After 3 posts, look at the persons name on rootschat, there is either a green or white icon, looks like a page with 3 lines on it, click on the icon, then you catnip your PM then send.

Hi Jennymack

Thanks so much for the oral history.

The information seems to be quite specific which makes it really interesting. Considering the length of time approx 200 years and the number of generations, five six, the information has passed through, I personally think the information is likely to be pretty accurate.

Hello

I did find a record of a marriage between a Robert Mcintosh and Euphame Johnstone 26 Mar 1738. The location Parish,Edinburgh,Midlothian,Scotland.

They appear to have had a few children

Elizabeth Mackintosh(1740)
Nicol Mackintosh(1741)
John Mackintosh(1743)
Lachlan Mackintosh(1746)

The population of Edinburgh in 1700 was estimated at between 50-60,000 people.
Although McIntosh in quite a common name Euphame Johnstone is not so common.
For a marriage between a Euphame Johnstone and a McIntosh with a child John Mackintosh born 1743 would be quite rare.

The oral history differs in that the name of John's father is Robert not John otherwise Euphame Johnstone OK. Location OK Year of birth OK Origin of Euphame Johnstone yet unknown.

Hello McTosh

I'm sorry for the confusion, you are quite correct - it should be Robert, that's them, I put the wrong name as there are so many Johns in the line I had forgotten he was a Robert!

The story actually comes from two places, as another man who is also distantly related told me (when discussing the family tree) a very similar version which had been passed on verbally in his family - so I think it is very likely to be true. I don't think the brother called Lachlan came to England, as there is a death of someone likely to be him in Edinburgh, but the one called Nicol never crops up anywhere - maybe he died young, or maybe he moved to Northumberland and changed his name. All interesting stuff, just wish I had more time to look into it. Might get a moment later on once I get this mob of current day family sorted out!

Hi jenny & Mctosh,

when my friends here on rootschat started to help me on McIntosh's and
Robert Hunter Mackintosh turned up, it was suggested this could have been a clue to
John's wife { maiden name } but now with Euphame Johnstone turning up bang
goes our theory.

Its all so fascinating well done jenny & Mctosh
