Find Ancestors

Marion and Margaret, you're brilliant, thank you very, very much for your help.

Margaret...
I started doing this about 7 yrs ago. I wanted to know where my Dads middle name and my Grannies name came from.

I found my grannies but my Dads goes way back to my brick wall.

Ah, just like my grandfather's middle name. We thought at first that it was his mother's maiden name but turned out to be his grandmother's. Led us astray at first.

Ahh. I might have found your DUFF name.

Could this be your Mary?????

Marion, thank you so much

Not sure about that Sandra.

Margaret Duff Chalmers, mother Margaret Dunn? Are they both supposed to be Dunn or Duff or are they meant to be different?

Ooh Marion, thank you again.

MARGARET DUFF CHALMERS Pedigree

Thank you Margaret.
I take it two of the Eliza's must've died as you wouldn't have 3 daughters called Eliza?

Sandra, I would think yes, they are all Dugald & Eliza's because they all have Eliza's maiden name, although the last one has her name as Steppens. (Just an error?)
Not unusual back then to have children for 20 years.

Margaret, are all those children Dugald and Eliza's?
There are 3 Elizas and there's 20 years between the first and last child, (sorry for being a bit thick.)

Marion, thank you very much, what a brilliant site.

Margaret, I haven't a clue who he is but then again, my whole family seems to end up like that, haha. Why did they have to keep passing the same name to each generation (so confusing)

Thank you very much Margaret, I'll have to try and find out who he is, I appreciate all your help.

Alvie, i have been on Inverclyde, thank you for letting me know, and thank you so much for the Canadian help, I really appreciate it.

Loads of stuff on here....hope it works.
