Hi Donald, Yes it is frustrating when you hit a brick wall. A couple of years ago I had a look at some old Kirk Session records and they can hold quite a bit of information if your ancestor had been "naughty" and was brought before the Kirk Session. You might want to check if any of these ...

Hi Donald, I haven't done much with my own research recently so that when I paid a visit to the Mitchell Library in Glasgow recently I was glad to spend the day tracking David's living family members. I need to spend some time going over my own tree to ascertain where the gaps are because it's so lo...

Hi David I trawled the IGI Family Search and came up with the following. Have a good look at it because I did it in the wee small hours but I think its correct. James Livingston and Sarah Wood BIRTH CHRISTENED TRANENT Alexander Livingston 22.03.1789 29.03.1780 “ Janet Livingston 22.05.1791 12.06.179...

Hi David You could look for John's death certificate after 1855 and from that you would get his parents' names (if the person registering the death Knew them!). I'll probably be going to the Mitchell next week so if you can't find them - or there are too many - I can have a look then. Kind regards M...

Hello David, I have traced one branch of Mary Darling Livingston's grandchildren, gt .grandchidren and gt.gt.grandchildren living in Stirling. I have an address but because these people are living I don't think I should put their details on an open forum. If you could PM me your email address I will...

Hi John Thanks for that. Sorry I'm just getting back to you but with Christmas fast approaching my days are becoming quite hectic. 1. Death of James livingstone, occ. slate quarrier, married to Annie May, res. 8, Fladda Cottages, Cullipool, Luing. Date of death 26 Aug. 1959, age 75, death registered...

Hi Sandra From the OPR pf Donald Livingston to Sarah Clerk I think Donald was a slate quarrier in Cullipool in the parish ot Kilchattan (Luing) and Sarah daughter of John Clerk tenant in Ardnahua which was a township in Kilninver. If you look at the map http://canmoremapping.rcahms.gov.uk/ and reduc...

Hi Sandra Firstly Barbra was Duncan's sister. I found this in the Kilbrandon Kirk Session Records when she was brought before the session for having an illegitimate child. She in turn claimed that Archibald McCallum of Oban Seil was the father and claimed that he had acknowledged her to be his lawfu...

Jill,

I have that book if you want any look-ups.

Yes Donald, Neil did live in Lochgilphead. Very early on in my journey into genealogy I spent the day at the Archives in Lochgilphead and the Archivist then was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He has now retired but I've no doubt his successor will be equally helpful. Unfortunately I didn't rea...
