By John, on January 15th, 2008% The following article is an extract from Oor Ain Folk by James Inglis regarding his brother Alexander Brand Inglis.
Alick, as he was known, is Roz’s direct ancestor, her great-great-grandfather. The extract below we have previously published because of that fact. I have, however, expanded it with the inclusion of a few more paragraphs which are semi-relevant.
From pages 255 to 257:
The next in rotation was Alexander, a loyal, loving soul, possessed of more than ordinary perseverance and force of character; and his story, too, would be worth the telling, had I the time . . . → Read More: Oor Ain Folk: Alexander Brand Inglis (1839-1886)
By Roz, on November 25th, 2007% William was one of James Inglis‘ younger brothers, I have written about him before I think. He was tempted to Australia by James and took a position in a bank in Wilcannia (a town in New South Wales about 450 miles North West of Sydney) taking with him his wife and four young children Helen, Mary, Robert and William.
There is a transcription of a vivid account (given by Helen, using the name Daisy because her second name was Margaret) of life in Wilcannia and the death of their father, on rootsweb . . . → Read More: William Burnet Inglis 1851 – 1888
By Roz, on March 16th, 2007% Since I last wrote a post (that would be 11th February…) my maternal grandfather has reviewed the work we have done so far and has been able to add quite a lot. Not all of it “factual” in the genealogical sense, but some background information, confirmation of second-guessed facts, that sort of thing.
We’ve been able to add some detail to the Moore branch of the family (my grandfather’s mother’s family); in particular following Elsie Lena Moore‘s brothers and sisters.
Lilian Moore, Elsie Lena’s eldest (surviving to adulthood) sister we now know married a George . . . → Read More: Update
By John, on March 15th, 2007% My family has a lot of Daniel Doyles in it. It’s a tradition, or an old charter, or something. Each of them is fascinating in his own way but I choose one in particular to talk about here as he was famous in his time and still remembered today by a certain green side of Glasgow.
First, how is he related to me? My brother is Daniel Doyle, our father is Daniel Doyle, his father was Daniel Doyle, his father was Daniel Doyle, his father was Edward Doyle (how did that happen?), his father was Daniel . . . → Read More: Dan Doyle: The Life and Death of a Wild Rover
By Roz, on February 1st, 2007% It’s been a while – two weeks is a long time in genealogy.
Firstly – Psychology 101.
When I first set up my family tree on www.ancestry.co.uk I created it as a “Private Tree”. At some point later, it got accidentally saved as a “Public Tree” and therefore available to the whole world to view. Not a problem in itself, apart from the fact that some annoying “feature” of the tree is that you cannot tell it specifically who is alive and therefore who should be marked as “Living” – the tree displayed all my grandfathers’ details despite the . . . → Read More: Ramble…
