John Scotland

smswstoner — 25 Jul 2004 2:37:50 GMT

I'm so glad we finally have a board for the surname Scotland! How much easier it will be to search for our kin.

My grandfather was John Scotland. He was born in Kingsbarns (near St. Andrews) 11 December 1884. He was the son of Robert Scotland [s/o Thomas Scotland and Martha Dow Scotland] and Margaret Gibson Scotland [d/o David Gibson and Catherine Cameron Gibson]. His siblings were Thomas Scotland, Catherine Scotland, David Scotland, Martha Scotland, Robert Scotland, and Margaret Scotland.

Grandfather John Scotland married my grandmother, Marjory Stuart Small, 5 March 1913 in Dunfirmline, Scotland. They moved to Vancouver where their 1st and 3rd daughters were born (29 Dec 1913 and 30 Oct 1920 respectively) - their 2nd daughter, my mother, was born 20 Nov 1917in Dunfirmline. The family lived in Vancouver, BC, Canada and Grampa John worked on the paddle-wheel ships that traveled up the Yukon. He died in Vancouver on 22 July 1954 and Marjory died on 8 October 1979, also in Vancouver.

Surnames on my maternal side are: Dow, Gibson, Scotland, Small, Stuart, Motion, Cameron, Cant, Leach, Walker, and Young. I have a listing of family members compiled by my grandmother Scotland, starting with the 29 Nov 1800 marriage of her gggrandparents Peter Small and Mary Walker Small in Scotland, and will be happy to share what I have. m.

Hi, I have just found my Gr Gr grandmother, Phoebe Scotland, born in Liverpool in 1845. She married John Patrick Callaghan around 1865 to 1974, if they got married! cannot find a trace of wedding cert.

Looking at this list I take it that there are not that many "Scotland"s around?

would be interested in a brief history of the scotland family name if any one has the time.

Am tied up searching the Callaghans at the moment, but would love the notes for my future research.

Thank you
Keren Callaghan
