McKinnon
- Kirkcudbrightshire (KKD, County, Scotland)
I am searching on behalf of my cousin. She is trying to find ancestors and decendants of her father HUGH McKINNON born 1910 died 1964. As she was only 9years old when he died she only knows a limited amount of info:
My Fathers name was Hugh McKinnon His Mothers name was Mary I think his father may have been a butcher or slaughter man and the family came from Scotland kirkudbright area I think, he had several sisters and I think he was born in about 16th July around 1910? Mum was 1915 and she always said he was 5 years older than her. His fathers name may have been Ian or Colin but I may be guessing here and his wife Mary may have been Smart maiden name but again I may be guessing!
His first wife in Scotland was called Margaret I think and she had a son called Graham and I think she got cancer and died around the war period, my father was in the war at Dunkirk but I have no idea of his regiment but my Mum said he was desperate to get across London and back home at the end war because she was so ill.
He came south and settled in maidstone and remarried I believe his second wife was called Pat he had a daughter who I think is called Valerie and a son I think was called Colin...they divorced. Hugh McKinnon and my Mum met in about 1951.
That's about all I know and really, I do not know where to begin!
Would really really appreciate any help.
