By John, on January 18th, 2008% The following article is an extract from Oor Ain Folk by James Inglis regarding his brother Thomas Chalmers Inglis.
Thomas died about three months after James finished writing Oor Ain Folk at the young age of 46. The cause was Phlebitis Embolism.
As his father was a Free Church Minister and was active in The Disruption then he would have been named after Thomas Chalmers the leader of the 450 ministers who left the Church of Scotland General Assembly in 1843. Thomas Chalmers died five months before Thomas Chalmers Inglis was born thereby, perhaps, prompting . . . → Read More: Oor Ain Folk: Thomas Chalmers Inglis (1847-1893)
By John, on January 17th, 2008% The following article is an extract from Oor Ain Folk by James Inglis regarding his brother John Knox Inglis.
From pages 259 and 260 of Oor Ain Folk:
John was next on the list. In some respect he was perhaps the best equipped, intellectually, of the whole family. He was set apart by the old couple for the ministry. He passed through his university course with distinction; took the degree of Master of Arts; received his theological training in the Free Church College, and while yet very young was appointed to the charge of the . . . → Read More: Oor Ain Folk: John Knox Inglis (1849-1878)
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 December 3rd, 2006% For a while we’ve been trying to find out more about Jessie Ann Inglis. She married Alexander Brand Inglis, but hailed from a completely different branch of Inglises (phew!). Until a few days ago all we knew about her was that she was born in India, around 1849, and married Alexander in India in 1868.
Then we realised that www.ancestry.co.uk had made transcriptions of two more Scottish censuses available – 1851 and 1861.
