Greetings Forum :)

My paternal grandmother, Mary Moss McMillan Stewart was born 14 May 1896, in Glasgow.

I am seeking information on her grandmother and name sake, Mary Moss McMillan.

Basically all I know is that Mary Moss McMillan was born about 1821 in Greenoch.

She married John Stewart, a tailor, 29 Oct 1848, Gorbals.

It has been said that her father was named Hugh.

It is presumed that she too is a namesake, so her mother might be, Mary Moss... or... that might be her grandmother's name??

I of course do not know... :helpsmilie: ... hence my appreciation for your forum and all who share my love for our ancestry!

Any assistance is greatly appreciated! :smilewinkgrin:

I wonder if someone might please be able to answer a question for me?

Alexander Colquhoun, husband of Marion Stirling, was the younger brother of the XVIII Laird Of Luss, Sir John Colquhoun Knight & XVI of Colquhoun; 1st Baronet of the name Colquhoun, to Nova Scotia, John was born about 1596, husband of Lady Lilias Graham of Montrose (sister of the Marquis of Montrose, James Graham) whom he married on 6 Jul 1620.

I would like to know the date of the death of Alexander and a valid source |book2| I could cite to validate that death, if at all possible. IF it is a date that is later than I expected then I will have other questions, but first things first. :)

While most of my peers are claiming a connection to that family, I am seeking the opposite... heehee... proof that there is no way :taz: that our immigrant ancestor could have been the son of said Alexander.

Thank you, in advance, if anyone can help me.:smile5:

I have so many questions I don't know where to begin. I've traced my Scottish Kilpatrick family back to John Patrick of Ayrshire or Ayreshire (1429-1460) and hit the wall. No parents to be found anywhere. Am I unreasonable to want to go farther? Another problem is that I have all these people's names, dates, and places but I don't know anything about them--who they were, what they did, and how they lived. I'd like to know them. Am I asking too much? To those of you who have been around this process a while, what should I do now? Thank you for your patience.
