    Something adrift here. Mary's parents married ?1871, she was born 1873, no way her brother was buying houses in 1875. Is the date wrong - or someone slipped a generation?

    Ah, Mary, what would i do without you!! You are quite right, and the dates do not connect. Have had another look at the letter, and considering how old it is, it is in quite a readable condition, and i am pretty certain that the date is 1875. I suppose it is quite possible that it could actually be addressed to Mrs Bogue, as in John Bogues mother, it is conceivable that he had a sister Mary too, and i was just putting two and two together....

    Hmm ... interesting ... Assuming the letter came down via John Bogue / Mary etc... If not addressed to Helen Boag, how did it come into their hands? Have you traced John Bogue's mother? Was she in Ireland, or came over to Scotland to join the family?
    Questions, questions ... we've come a long way from french polishers.

    How are you progressing with your search? You were correct, by 1891 the Donaldsons had moved to Old Kilpatrick - but I can't find Mary Boag/Bogue/Bayne or her parents!!

    Hello Mary,
    Many thanks for the information, it fills in a few gaps, progress on the Boag/Bogue/Bayne is not going far, Mary's parents must have moved to Scotland from Ireland between 1871 when they married in Belfast, and 1873 when Mary was born, but thats about all I have.

    I am wondering if you are still here. This is going back several years and I have no idea if you had even read the info I posted about our family.

    Teressa, I contributed to that thread, but merely trying to help Lizziebeth, who started the thread. I hope you are able to make contact. Best wishes for your search.

    Thank you Mary for responding to Teressa's post.
    Teressa, Lizziebeth was on the forums in the middle of last year. If she is still using the email address as when she posted then she should receive notification of your posts.
    You can also try contacting her by private message (pm). To do this click on her user avatar and from the drop down menu click on Private message. This also depends on her still having the same email address as when she joined up.
