Re: Robert McNaught/on

karieannscarlet — 2012-05-17 20:44:24Z

Hi Davie
Thank you I did not have his parents marriage date nor where they were married. however his name on his marriage certificate is McNaughton not McNaught yet all of his children are all McNaught as is his death certificate so you have to understand why I am slightly confused lol not hard for me. I have his parents (I am hoping) but there is no record of Robert in Australia before his marriage and I can find no convict record for him nor an incoming passenger record. He is a mystery for me and I would really like to solve it and find out more about his family eg. brothers and sisters that sort of thing as there must be more out there (fingers crossed). Are you a descendant of Robert And Margaret?

Hi all,
Have been looking for this John for a while. Possibility of having a wife, Catherine Hunter in NZ.
John died in Comrie in April 1878.aged 67.
On his death record his parents are given as James and Margaret McGregor, He is given as a widower, wife unknown to the informant, his brother James.
When I was in Comrie, last week, came across his headstone.
"sometime resident of New Zealand" was all the info on the stone
Any help is appreciated.

Robert McNaught/on

karieannscarlet — 2012-05-09 03:12:44Z

Hi I am looking for any info on Robert McNaughton who became McNaught after his marriage to Margaret Brown in 1849 in Longford, Tasmania, Australia.
He was born in about 1814 we think in Scotland, as ther is no record for him in Australia that we can find. We can also not find any record of him entering Australia and his marriage certificate is the first data we have on him. He moved most of his family to Victoria and passed away there in 1887. Robert is my 3x Great Grandfather and I would love to find out more about him and the McNaughton/McNaught Clan in Scotland.

Re: Mary( McNaught) Lockwood Family Connection

meredithmcnaught — 2012-02-24 05:18:42Z

According to my family records, my 3-great grandparents, Elizabeth and Jimmy McNaught had a daughter named Mary. She was born on 2/28/1858 and married Archibald Lockwood in 1880. They are in the 1880 census living in Elba,Knox County, Illinois. After that, we have no idea where they went or what happened to them. Perhaps you can give me some help with that?

Thanks,

Yes, Mary J. McNaught married Fremont Durand. Mary's father, Ezekial, was a brother to my 3-great grandfather, Jimmy McNaught who happened to marry a Elizabeth Durand. Mary's mother was Roxanna Durand...I believe a cousin to Elizabeth.

Info needed on Robert McNaught b. 1814 Scotland

ladibug75 — 2010-02-15 22:00:53Z

Would like to find more information and ancestors/or descendants of Robert McNaught born 18 June 1814 in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland. I have his parents as Michael McNaught and Elizabeth Tatt, but this is not confirmed. I have no known siblings.

Robert McNaught married Agnes Thomson on 22 May 1836 in Barony, Lanarkshire, Scotland. They were the parents of eight children with only two surviving to adulthood.

1. Ellen McNaught b. 22 January 1837 in Branghley, Scotland. Married James Tierney on 14 June 1865. Ellen died on a voyage to India on 10 Nov. 1866 & was buried at sea. I do not know if there were any children.

2. Elizabeth Bell McNaught b. 4 Nov 1840 in Glasgow Scotland. She married George Paterson McGregor on 16 Nov 1860 in Glasgow. George and Elizabeth came to the United States sometime between 1873 and 1878.

Robert and Agnes divorced. Agnes married James R. Arbuckle approximately 1855 and had 2 sons, James and George. This family came to the US approximately 1870 and settled in Salt Lake City Utah.

Robert, too immigrated to the US and also settled in Utah in the city of Herber. He may have remarried in Scotland, but I cannot find him or his family. Robert died 14 June 1900 in Herber, Wasatch County, Utah.

Any information on Robert, his parents, siblings, second wife & family would be much appreciated. I have hit a wall on this family.

Thanks!

Just seen your old message. One of my great uncles immigrated to the Chicago area from Glasgow, Scotland in the 1860s. His name was Hugh McNaught, married to Jane Walker. They took 2 children with them to the USA and then had a further five, John in 1866, Margary 1869, Jane 1871, Hugh 1876 and James 1879. I assume they knew other McNaughts in the area and thats why they chose Illinois. I've not been able the find any decendants. Can you help.

Re: McNaughts of Dunbartonshire 1880s

BradleyAllen_1 — 2008-10-20 02:37:49Z

I have done extensive research of my wonderful Grandfather Arthur MacNaught. Of course when people came to the New World, yes the United States (US) it was not uncommon to change names. I can be linked to John McNaught of John McNaught of 1794, and quite a few earlier John McNaught's of as early as 1761. As a matter of fact how the McNaught's in the US track back to me is though the McNaught and Shaw family. They resided in Delaware County and I know the family history in the US. In fact my grandmother who married Arthur is still alive. She was a NORTH and her family was one of the first settlers of Walton, NY. They provided Leadership/Service in the RR and transportation industry. She and the MacNaught's were very proment people in the US. The McNaught's were Dr.'s when in Delaware County. They were also the provided leadership in the form of religion, Law, including Judges, and security such as Game wardens. My grandfather was very smart enjoyed to read and was an construction engineer. He build many roads and bridges in the eary 1900's. His brother Marshal and Macolm were sucessful citizens. HECTOR SHAW is a native of Hamden, Delaware County, N.Y., and an influential and worthy citizen of that town, for the welfare of which he is ever laboring. He is of Scotch ancestry, being a son of Donald Shaw, who was born in Argyle, Scotland, in 1788, and was brought to America by his parents when but nine years of age. Twenty- four years later he married Janet McNaught, who was also Scotch, being a native of Dunbartonshire on Loch Lomond, where she was born in 1798, a daughter of John McNaught. She sailed for the New World in 1817; and in 1821 they were married in Bovina, and settled in Hamden, on the flats one mile below the village, where they were at one time possessors of one thousand acres of land.

Janet had 9 children with Hector. Arthur Shaw was one of them, who married Jennie Bostwick, daughter of Marcus and Deborah (Kellogg) Bostwick, and is the father of four children. Augusus born 1871, Shirley born 1873, Catherine born in 1879, and Edith, born in 1882. Edit Shaw was my mothers Grandmother. Janet lived to be over 96.
That’s where it’s a little weird and I might loose you. Edith Shaw married a Malcolm She may or may have not known that her blood came from Janet McNaught whom sailed to the US and married Hector in 1821, that would have been her grandmother. Anyway she married Marshall McNaught born in 1884. Marshall was decendent of Malcom born in 1852 whose father was John M. McNaught 1821 from Bovina, Delaware County, NY, A couple generations before in John McNaught’s from 1761, from Dunbartonshire, Scotland.
I think that is when the name changed to MacNaught. Anyway my grandfather Arthur MacNaught and Elenor Virginia (North) MacNaught my Grandmother had my Mother Patricia Ann (MacNaught) Allen, and my two uncles Malcom MacNaught and Robert MacNaught. My sister Kim and I (Brad) Allen have quite a few wonderful MacNaught relatives. Our living cousins are Brandon James, Clinton John, Ramsey Jade - (from Robert) and Caroline, Lindsey, Taylor, and Kelsy -(from Malcolm). My wife and I travel often and have 2 girls Avery Michelle and Reese Alene. I would like to get in touch with my long lost relatives from Scotland. I know that it is easier to communicate now with email.

I can be reached at Bradley.Allen@us.army.mil. Please type McNaught in the subject line so I will be sure to respond.

Thanks, and I look forward to speaking to you. – Brad

Right at N 2080 East Rd.
Turn right, it becomes E 2775 NOrth Rd.

brianhill9797 — 2008-04-16 07:36:26Z

I'm looking for information on my great grandfather John McNaught who was born about 1871. He married a Mary McIlvain from Glasgow and they had my grandmother Margaret.

John McNaught was born in Scotland,may have been a Porter and come over on the Tuscania. McNaught may have been McNaughton at one time. At one point John came to the U.S. and lived at 949 Avenue E in Bayonne, Hudson County, NJ.

Someone found out a lot about the McIlvain side but I dont have much information on John McNaught. I'm curious what his parents names were.

Thanks,

Hi Linda, nice of you to take the time to contact me with your exciting information.Euphemia is a strong family name My great aunt was Euphemia, her aunt was Euphemia and HER mother was Euphemia(nee Campbell)This takes us back to Around 1850 in Dunoon.(I have recently visited the family grave there.)
Euphemia Campbell(this is when the name Euphemia first comes into the family) was married to Malcolm McNaught whose father was Alexander McNaught born in about 1829.
I cannot trace a William in the family but that is not to say that there was not a William in Malcolm's or Alexander's family.
I have not yet delved this far back and many McNaughts did emigrate to other countries.

I am researching the name WILLIAN McNAUGHT who was born in Scotland. His birth yr. is 1815. He was in business with my family member THOMAS SCRUTCHINS before and after Civil War in Atlanta Georgia. The reason I am contacting you is I noticed the name EUPHINA (SPELLED THIS WAY IN 1850 Census) in your family tree on Ancestry. This name was the name of William McNaught and Judith's first child. Judith was from Virginia. There were Canada connetctions as I have made a recent fabulous find in the Atlanta History Center. There are 8 boxes of correspondance filed there on "William McNaughts" business adventures around the country and various personal letters back and forth from Canada and Scotland and England. If you are interested and see a connection, email me. I am anxious to let somebody in this family know of this great find. Sincerely, Linda Biggers Mitchell

Hi Beryl
So nice to have some contact. I will give you some more info which should help fill in some blanks. Yes, my granny on mum's side was Mary Johnstone Welsh. My Granny & GRandpa (Devonia) had the following children - Annie, Elsie, Elizabeth, Helen, Mary, Joseph and last but not least, my mum Devonia (called after Grandpa). I'm very sad to say that all are now passed away. My mum died in 1995 aged 61. I was called after my granny Mary Welsh Millar. I have loads more info on the McNaughts but not so much on the Welsh's as I believe that name originates from England and my granny's father was Peter Welsh. I've only been able to do the Scottish side. Just to give you some age context, I am 50 years old and have 3 brothers and live in Bathgate, West Lothian. Happily, my dad is still alive and kicking at 76years old and shares my passion for genealogy. I could go on and on and if you want to email me at - closeadm@aol.com we could probably share lots of information. It was really nice to hear from you. Kind regards, Mary

When Devonia returned from America with his father & sisters He later married my Husbands Aunt ( Namely Mary Johnstone Welsh, i know they had a daughter Annie who married a James Russell but not what other children they had. You said your mother was Devonia Mcnaught who was her parents. If Devonia Mcnaught born on board ship was your Grandfather then Mary Welsh would be your Grandmother?My husband said he remembers an Aunt Devonia on his dad side and they came from Bathgate. is there any connection.

Re: John Mcnaught- Scotland

Highlandseer — 2007-04-15 20:38:41Z

With regard to your query about your ancestor Jane McNaught.
My wife is the direct descendant of Margaret Murray who married a Donald Cameron, and they eventually ended up at Airdrie. Jane McNaught certainly had children who were illegitimate. I know that a John Mcnaught who ended up in Canada is registered as her first son and is also illegitimate.
However, I have looked at the marriage certificate details of Jane McNaught who married Charles Murray, on 13 February 1874 at Bonhill, and her father is given as a name like 'Matthew' McNaught and the mother as Mary McNaught or Wilson. Charles Murray is a widow at the marriage, but Jane is a spinster. Both are about 35 years old.

In all other respects I think we have the same person(s)

I have 1871 census information for a Jane McNaught . In the image from GROS (General Register Office Scotland) of this census, Jane Mcnaught 17 years is a boarder, and a name that does appear to be someone by the name of Marjory who is 10 . Interestingly, Jane stays next door to an elderly couple named Wilson in this census.

Please get in touch re this family as there appear to be a couple of anomalies.

I also have a William McNaught born in Renton. He was born 17 Dec 1865. His mother is Jane or Jean McNaught. He married Annie Watt. I am trying to trace the family back. Jane's father is John McNaught, mother Marion or Marjory Roy.

Anyone know this family? Kathleen

James McNaught/McKnight & Margaret Thomson, mid 1800s, Sorn, Ayrshire, Scotland

Want info on James McNaught who married Margaret Thomson of Sorn, Ayrshire, Scotland. He died between 1841 and 1851 and is buried in the churchyard at Sorn. She died in 1899 and is buried in the churchyard in Sorn. The spelling of the name changed depending on who the clerk was in the parish at the time the church records were written.

Their children were: Margaret,
Robert (md Mary Thomson, lived in Sorn & Auchinleck, Ayrshire),
Janet (md John Steele, lived in Sorn, Ayrshire),
Jean,
Agnes,
Mary,
William,
Marion (may have married a Davidson).

The family changed the spelling of the name to McKnight on the 1851 cencus and the name stayed McKnight on every cencus after. Also, where headstones are present the name on the stone is McKnight.

I have old pictures I'm trying to identify. I would like to have contact with descendants of this couple or with others who can help me make contact with anyone who knows them or has researched these nemes in these areas and can help me.

Hi George
I would love to make a connection BUT I have no further information about the McNaughts in Glasgow. All I have is place of birth, an estimated date of birth for Alexander and his parent's christian names which were Janet & Duncan. I was told that Duncan McNaught was a weaver.
I would love to contact Kate McNaught as she is a descendant of Alexanders.
The Australian descendants are quite well researched but there are a few gaps in the very large tree.
