Ann McAinsh & John Gow married 1834
I am researching the McAinsh family name and would like to hear from anyone who may be related.
I have researched back to Andrew McAinsh, 1745, who married Christian Mitchell. their son Robert McAinsh married Elizabeth Drummond in November 1811. their daughter Ann McAinsh married John Gow in December 1834. their son James Gow was my grandfather. James was born in March 1845.
John and Ann lived in Tillicoultry, Auchterarder,Scotland.
John died in March 1867 and Ann left Scotland to come to the U.S. in April 1869. she only stayed for a short while before returning to Scotland. she again left Scotland in 1871 and sail to New Zealand to be with her daughter Elizabeth.
Ann Gow died in Dunedin, New Zealand in October 1916 at the age of 102 years old.
I would like to hear from anyone that may be related by way of the McAinsh name.
my father's middle name was McAinsh and for years I never heard of anyone with that name. however, since I have found family in New Zealand I see many in the family with McAinsh as a middle name.
I hope that I may hear from someone that may be related through the McAinsh name.
good luck in research.
