MCGREGORS OF SEIL MIGRATE TO ONTARIO
GREGOR B.1817 ARG.D.1892, OSPREY ONTARIO & BRO DUNCAN MCGREGOR BUTE
Hullo David,
I am the 3x great grand daughter of Janet McGregor b.1829 Easdale,Seil, d.1899 Johnstone, daughter of Dougald McGregor [joiner] & Janet McDougall.
Her brothers were: Gregor b 1817. Alexander b 1821 Duncan b ?, Dugald b 1834, John b 1836. Mother Janet possibly died in childbirth when John was born for Dougald married again to Catherine Carmichael. They had a son Alan who inherited Dougald's croft farm when he died abt 1848. The elder sons went to Ontario in 1853. Gregor was a farmer & Congregational minister in Osprey & wife Euphemis died in 1885.Three children born in Scotland,dau Euphemia in Ontario. Alexander was a farmer & blacksmith in Culross. First son Dugal b Scotland, other 4 in Ontario He died 1895 in Kincardine, wife Mary Orr d Culross in 1897.
I think his bro Dougall migrated too (unproven)I have much more detail about Janet but nothing on the previous generations, or your ancestor Duncan. In 2010 I went from Tasmania were I live to Ardentallin, Kilbride were Janet MacDougall was born.
I am so pleased to find common ancestors. Please reply. Helen Quilty
