Hi all
The reason the records for Comrie are missing is due to the rebellion of early 18th centuary when the highlanders marched south Comrie was sacked and also when the government forces marched north they got the rest the beadles house where the records were kept was burnt and the records lost. Later the minister and I can't remember when went door to door to try and build back the records I found 3 generations of my ancestors on one page of a note book on microfiche in the A K Bell library in perth

Just a quick update on the whole Drummond McGregor scenario for my own family.

My ancestry DNA results have came back.
 
On searching for DNA Matches with people who had the surname Drummond in their tree I had just over 20 results…..

On searching for DNA Matches with people who had the surname McGregor in their tree I didn’t get the final number but stopped counting at 121 ….

Think the McGregor alias holds true (for my Drummonds anyway)

Hi John I believe it goes as follows

Patrick Drummond and Anne (presumably McArthur)

Son - Duncan Drummond and Katherine Mailor

Son - Duncan Drummond and Ann Key

Son - William Drummond born in London

Reply #33 "Patrick Drummond and Anne (presumably McArthur)" which was an image of the index, the maiden name of Anne is clearly Drummond

I know this is quite an old thread, but I note that there's mention of the McComas/McGregor from The area around Brig o Turk. As there seem to be a fir mix of McGregor families there, I wondered if anyone has done any sort of deep research on them. As far back as I've been able to work out, I've got to my 4x Great grandfather, Donald McComas/McGregor m. Janet Ferguson 29th November 1744 in Callander.  Any help appreciated!

Hi,

I think this could be the next generation back;

1719 Thomas McComish/Marrion McKnee Doanld Duncraggan Callander [Donald]
1726 Thomas McHomish/Marion McNie Thomas Duncraggan Callander
1728 Thomas McComash/Marion Nicknie Janet Duncraggan Callander

This is probably the same Thomas McComas of Duncraggan who sponsored Dougal in 1735, the illegitimate son of John Murray McGregor of Ardmacmuin and Janet Ferguson of Ardcheanochroehan. It could also be the same Thomas McComas who married Mary McLeran in 1743.

John.
