Hi Christine,

Dougald McDougall and Agnes Crombie were my great, great grandparents.  Although your dates do not match mine, they did have a son Hugh born 1863, but he is the 4th born child of 6 children I have found to date.  Does this date match with your Hugh?

Regards

Anne

Hi Chrissy,

I thought it would be the same family.  My great grandfather was their son, Dougal(l), who was born in Rothesay in 1865.  I also have Martha, Christina, Janet and Hugh.  They also had a daughter Mary, born about 1853.  I am still trying to find Mary's birth but I know she married John Burns in 1874.  Dougal married Janet Fulton in 1886 and they had (according to my grandmother, Margaret) 17 children, although only 6 or 7 survived childhood.  I have traced about 13 so far.    I will attempt to sent you a pm

Many thanks for your info,

Anne

Well Here is a turn up for the books.  I am DS McDougall the 3rd and Hugh McDougall is my Great Grandad.  I have traced the line as far back as the 1700's so far (I Think??) so here goes:

Me
                    ||
DS McDougall - I McDougall
                    || 
DS McDougall - Mary McDougall (McMillan)
                    ||
Hugh McDougall - Sarah McDougall (Kealt @ birth then for some reason Kilton Then Kealt on death & it is my Grand dad's sig on death cert I also have the original death cert of Hugh.  My Granddad also named his daughter from his first marriage - SARAH KILTON SMALL MCDOUGALL (1921).
                    ||
Dougald McDougall - Agnes McDougall (Crombie she died in Greenock poorhouse 1900)
                    ||
Duncan McDougall - Janet McDougall (Carmichael)
                    ||
John McDougall - Flora ? McDougall (McColl ??)

If all this looks familiar please reply to this and we could swop more info and would be interesting as to where we all fit into this.

Many Thanks and look forward to your reply.

Hi Dave,

This is great news.  I knew there were more of us out there. 

I did have Janet's surname (Carmichael) but I have not been able to trace her and Duncan positively beyond the 1851 Census.  The nearest I could get to their "place of birth" was Lismore, Argyllshire.  Was that correct?  I was going to go over there some weekend but the ferry doesn't run on a Sunday so I have to arrange a long weekend if that is indeed the place.

Best wishes,

Anne

Also spoke to my old man & would either of you be related to any of the following:

Willie / Sarah (McClintock) / Isa (Linney) / Bessie (?) all born McDougall's obviously.

Farther of the above would be David McDougall - Mother would be Jessie (Casement) Died 1924.

Many Thanks Dave
