Alexander and Margaret had 11 chlidren (John, Agnes, Elizabeth, Margaret, Margaret(2), Janet, Mary, Mary(2), Issobel, William and Katharine).

Thomas Pimperton and Agnes Rinder
- Dumbarton
Looking for information on ancestors and descendants of Thomas Pimperton and Agnes Rinder. I know they were married on 22/03/1767 in Rothwell, Yorkshire. Thomas was a glassmaker and may be the son of John Pimperton of Bank House. Thomas and Agnes had a son Henry born 12/01/1768, but he unfortunately it looks like he died the following year. They may also have had a son Elijah born in 1779 and a daughter Catherine born in 1781 (all sourced from the Yorkshire Parish and Probate Records). It appears at some point they moved to Dumbarton in Scotland where they had a daughter Ann in 1784 (sourced from OPRs). Thanks.

Kean/Kane
- Duntocher
My great grandfather, Samuel Harkin,was married to Sarah Kean/Kane.They lived in Duntocher. I have been unable to find Sarah on any census before the marriage, and am unsure as to what her name really is. I have found who I assume is their son, my grandfather, James as 'grandson' to Henry Kean as a three year old, in the 1881 census, but had previously been informed that her (Sarah's) maiden surname was Kane.
It is all very confusing!
Can anyone help, Please?

Margaret Houston Browning was my maternal grandmother
- Gartocharn
'granma' (my great granma) raised my father (Duncan McFarlane born 1925) from the age of 3, in her wee cottage (Blairannaich) until he went out to work as a young lad with the forestry, and then conscripted down the mines in Yorkshire during World War II (one of "the Bevin Boys" as they called them for the politician who came up with the scheme). My mother, Catherine Browning, was evacuated to her granma's cottage at the age of 12 (1940), went to the village school, then Alexandria Academy, and then "into service" in 3 of the big houses nearby, including Ross Priory. Granma's husband, Guy Browning, went ahead to Canada to make a new life for himself, his wife and children (in the face of dire poverty and more children if he stayed) but in the meantime she changed her religion. She never followed him and he grew a second family out in Canada. Turned out, both a McFarlane and a Browning of these respective families (the previous generation to my mum and dad), my great granma's generation, went to Canada and made a life there.
