| Message: | North Yorkshire I was wondering if any one could help. I am after some Scrimgeour tartan ribbon but can't seem to find it anywhere. I would love to add it to my future son's pram blanket as not only will it go lovely with my new pram but I want to have a bit of my family name always with my new son. Many thanks x |

| Message: | I live in South Australia, born New Zealand. I'm connected to Scrimgeours via Grays in New Zealand. My blood is more McGregor from Glenquaich, Perthshire. I have been trying to sort out which Scrimgeours in New Zealand came from where and have whittled it down to 3 sources. Happy hunting to you too! |

| Message: | Aldwick Bognor Regis West Sussex Does anyone have any information about Maud Scrimgeour, author of a book called The Don and the Dancer. It was published in 1907 by Thomas Nelson and sons, a copy of which I have just managed to purchase. It is the story of a Dartmoor pony. I am researching the branch of the Scrimgeour stockbroker family who were active in the area of Stedham, West Sussex. I am not sure whether author Maud Scrimgeour is the same person as Maud Scrimgeour, daughter of Alexander Scrimgeour and sister of John, Ethel and Elizabeth. I am not a relative but have an interest in local history and particularly in the philanthropic work of the Scrimgeours. |

| Message: | Rochester, NY - My grandfather was William Albert Scrymgeour; his brother was Colin, sisters Doris and Mary. I understand through my late grandmother, Ruth DeForest Scrymgeour, that my great-grandfather came from Scotland with his brother. The brother stayed in Canada and my great-grandfather settled in Rochester. My grandmother always said our ancestors were standard bearers. I'm just starting to dig into this. This website is great. Thanks. |

| Message: | Cape Town - South Africa The website is a great means to stay in contact with your roots and learn about other people having issues with the spelling of your last name. For most of my school career I was called scrumhalf, because it was too difficult for the Afrikaans population. Just a general inquiry; do all Scrimgeour's really enjoy festivities, because I can't seem to get enough? Must be something in the blood... Really looking forward to attending a clan gathering!!! |

| Message: | Branson,Missouri The first person to change the name from Carron to Skrymgeour kinda set the pace for the rest of us. Since then the name has been spelled a number of different ways over the centurys. I like the fact that in the last 15 years the clan has accepted the Scrim. The first time i checked the clan home page you were spelling the name Skrym and now your spelling it Scrim thanks for the acknowledgement: The willingness of decendants to change the spelling of their last name has been going on since the first Carron did it in the 12th or 13th century. Like father like son....It runs in the family. |

| Message: | Waitakere, New Zealand I've recently been doing a bit of research on the Scrymgeour line in my family tree and have posted what I've found to my blog if anyone is interested:- http://myfamilytreeresearch-dawn.blogspot.com/ I've read through all of the Skirmisher mags and this guestbook but didn't find much on the line I'm interested in apart from some contention about the birth/baptism of his brother Peter. The earliest I can go back to is Peter Scrimger of 'Hellhole/Halhole' in Perthshire, he had a son named James baptised at Caputh in 1765. Two generations later Peter's grandson, John Bisset Scrymgeour, migrated to New Zealand in 1860 with his wife, six sons & one daughter. Would love to hear from anyone connected to this line or if you can help me go back even further. Cheers....Dawn |

I know her story, mostly, from when she was born - but the Jacka-Dobb descendants I've connected with didn't know her dad's name/story. Her mom later married William James Dobb and Eliza married her step-brother John - her grandmother emigrated with many siblings to the UP of Michigan. All the best! Lorena |

| Message: | Los Angeles - 6/18/2010 Hello All! Like most of us I am looking for "connections". For your consideration: My mother's mother's (of Washington DC) middle name was Scrymgeour (like many of her relatives) The name Scrymgeour meant so much to her - it was the last request she made to me before she died - to make sure at least one of my children had the middle name of Scrymgeour. I believe we are main liners as her grandmother, Clara Burt, was born in Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight circa 1820 - her mother's surname was Scrymgeour and they were members of the Society in England. Said to be descendants of a "Sir Alexander Scrymgeour", they taught music to the Royal Family during Queen Victoria's reign. Clara had a sister, Sara Burt, and a brother, William Abercrombie Burt. (all were also related to the noted general, "Sir Ralph Abercrombie".) A number of relatives with the last name of "Barnes", from Long Island, New York are said to be descendants as well. Sara Scrymgeour Burt having married Polydore Barnes, a publisher in New York. (Now Barnes and Noble?) Have fun kids! Enjoy your searches... Regards, Kelly E. Nelson Los Angeles |

| Message: | Victoria, Australia I've been researching our family for some time now and although my heritage is Henderson and Morrison, I read with interest some of the earlier posts on this site that also have similar name connections. My Scrimgeour connection is more "recent" when Mary Morrison (sister of my great grandfather John) married a Francis C Scrimgeour in Dundee 1919. I believe there was a son George Allison Scrimgeour born around 1920 in Tibbermore, Perth. Francis Scrimgeour was born 1899 in Perthshire (Ruthvenfield I think) to George Scrimgeour and Margaret Lessels (yet another name worth researching). Francis is noted as being a Marine Engineer and was divorced from Mary Morrison in 1929 (have sighted the RCE) and was not "heard of" again. I've managed to trace back this Scrimgeour line to John Scrimgeour (born C1790) and Margaret Kidd (born 1788) who were married in St Martin/Tibbermore Perthshire. They had, from what I can find so far, 4 children - Ann 1820, Janet 1822, George 1824 and Robert 1826. I'd certainly be keen to hear from anyone that may have some additional information particularly regarding Francis (born 1899) and George (born 1920) |

Reading the list of the late Servicemen that had died during the First & Second Great Wars, a name came to my attention: This was of a Private Donald Scrimgeour of the 3rd RVVR Black Watch. This name has been of interest since I cannot find any history on the man who laid down his life for his country. I have been in touch with the Loch Awe Church Council but have no joy to date.

A very interesting walkabout in St Gelgin Kirk(Loch Awe) found a brass wall plaque inside the front entrance on the left side. Reading the list of the late Servicemen that had died during the First & Second Great Wars, a name came to my attention: This was of a Private Donald Scrimgeour of the 3rd RVVR Black Watch. This name has been of interest since I cannot find any history on the man who laid down his life for his country. I have been in touch with the Loch Awe Church Council but have no joy to date. I am an ex-serviceman and would appreciate any information into this brave mans live. Can anyone put any light on him please? In hope, thank you. Pete King |

| Message: | Grand Blanc, Michigan My father and grandfather are also James Scrimger's. The spelling of our name was changed early in the 1940's from Scrimgeour. The family migrated to North Branch, Michigan from the Kitchner, Ontario, Canada about the time Michigan became a state. Before that, they came into the United States through Jametown, New York. I'm trying to trace the history to understand more about my "roots". I would appreciate any feedback that gets me there. Also, there is another Scrimger family in the North Branch area that we are unable to find the "missing link". Help in that area is appreciated also. Greaty enjoyed reviwing the website. Jim |

| Message: | Perth, Scotland I note that the Clan Scrymgeour Gathering 2008 is to be held at Balmerino Abbey. This is one of the most appropriate venues given that the ancient chartularies of that Abbey are the source of some of the earliest records to be found of the Scrymgeour forebears. In researching for my book “de Dundee – an early burgess family with Highland connections” , the chartularies of Balmerino and the neighbouring Abbey of Lindores proved very rewarding, yielding references to Albert de Dundee (1180c-1245c), Gregory de Dundee (1210c-1270c) and Master Ralph de Dundee in the period 1230 – 1281. Sir Ralph de Dundee(1260c-1307) was son to Sir Gregory le Long who most probably was son to Thomas de Dundee. It was Master Ralph who by marriage gained the lands of Glassary. His wife was the heiress of Gillascop MacGilchrist of Glassary – she was probably called Isabella, as that was the name of his widow in 1307. She was able to retain the barony of Dundee lands but the pro-English MacDougal’s, in 1308, held the castle of Glassary for King Edward I. Their son John de Dundee was still a minor when his father died but later he was to regain Glassary and adopted the designation John de Glassary. In the patronymic Gaelic form he was Ian McMaster, his father, Ralph, having graduated a Master of Arts and sometime Clerk to King Alexander. John’s son, Gilbert de Glassary retained a large estate in and around Dundee in Angus and Perthshire. Gilbert made over most of his estate to his daughter Agnes and her husband between 1364 and 1374 in a series of grants. Her husband Alexander Scrymgeour, “bannerman to the king” thus gained substantial estates in the Dundee area and in Argyll and the Scrymgeor family derived their coat of arms from the Dalriadic lion of the Glassary family. With best wishes for the 2008 Clan gathering. |

| Message: | Nashua, New Hampshire - USA I'm researching my Mother's heritage. Her Grandmother was Catherine Mary Scrymgeour, born in Dalkeith or Dundee, Scotland on March 3rd, 1887. Catherine's parents were Robert John Henry Scrymgeour (born dec 3rd, 1868, and named Viscount of Dunhope in 1941). Robert John Henry's wife was Amy Elizabeth Mason from High Kirk, Edinborough Scotland. Robert's parents were from Londenderry, Scotland, and I'm told that we trace back to Alexander Scrymgeour, and his father Colin Scrymgeour. I'd like to know if you are familiar with any of these names in my family lineage, and if you might provide me more information. I'm wondering if we are distant relatives. Although my last name is Paquette (for my father), I have a strong interest in learning about my mother's family. My wife and I are planning a vacation with our son Cameron, to Scotland, and it would be great if we could find locations that have significance to my family. So I'd like to be sure that we are of the same Genealogy. |

My father's name was James Sharp Scrimgeour and he was born in Dundee, Scotland in January around 1896. He moved to Perth, WA in his mid-teens with his brother, Norman and his sister, Emily. My grandfather's details are unknown to me as my grandmother re-married in Scotland and then came to Australia with her new husband, ...Schultz. Her maiden name was Holman. My father James married Minnie Jane MacIntosh in Perth, WA and I am their only child. Norman married Clarice... and had two children Ronald and Eunice. Eunice died as a child and Ron married Verna... and they had two adopted children. Ron also died some years ago. Emily married Clem Hampton and had no children. So I have very few relatives. On a luckier note, I married Bernice Sharp and had four children. I now have 12 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild and another on the way. It would be great to hear from anyone who knows extra details of my early family. |

Everyone calls my dad Scrimy so my little brother got landed with the name Scrimy Jnr haha he hates it. Know one believes me that Scrimgeour is scottish they all think its German for some reason.

| Message: | Sydney, Australia My mother Joyce Scrimgeour and I were so pleased to receive 'the Skirmisher" recently - what interesting reading. My father was Robert Scrimgeour as was his father who was born in Dundee. He came to Oz with his brother David in the late 1800's. Robert married my grand mother Lydia Georgina Granville Price (what a name). They had 3 children May, Dorothy and Robert (my father). All are now deceased. Love to hear from any relatives out there. |

We managed to track down the tartan and he will be marrying in it. There will be quite a few tartans on show on the wedding day - McVeigh, Rae and Livingstone to name just a few. It promises to be quite a colourful event. |

| Message: | Prince George BC Please note the the corrected e-mail. I made a mistake on my first message! I have recently discovered that I have ancestors with the "Scrimgeour" name in Scotland. Do you know of a Helen Scrimgeour who was probably born around 1786. She married Thomas Aitken and I think they were from Falkirk. They had a son, Henry Scrimgeour Aitken born around 1806. I have just started looking into this line and I would appreciate any help you can give. Thank you very much. Karin Yarmish |

The names might be familar to someone else. Your Peter Scrymgeour was first married 14 Mar 1836 to Margaret Worthington at Saint Peter, Bolton Le Moors, Lancashire, England and they had a least 2 children that I found James chr 24 May 1840 Wigan, Lancashire, England (according to 1851 census he was born in Barrow upon Soar Leicestersh) and Charlotte about 1842 Wigan. He also had a Thomas Haslam with 2nd wife Helen who was 8 mths in 1851 probably died 1856. |

| Message: | Greetings everyone from Stavanger, Norway. I have a problem with my family tree and hope someone will be able to help me. I am looking for my ggg grandfather - James Scrymgeour. I think he was married to an Ann. My gg grandfather was Peter Scrymgeour who was married to Helen Haslam in St. Helens, Lancashire in Oct. 1849. They had nine children including my g grandfather Robert Bisset who was born around 1860. Robert Bisset immigrated to Canada and died in Wpg., MB, Canada 02 Feb. 1910. On the censuses from 1871 and 1881, Peter's birth place was Brabourne, Lees, Kent and his occupation was mason. However, on his marriage cert., his occupation is listed as High Baliff. I think I have placed too much value on the fact that my great grandfather's middle name was Bisset because I have found a James and Ann Bisset but their son, Peter, was born in Scotland. I cannot find a James and Ann from Brabourne. Can anyone help me? Robert Bisset's siblings are: John b. 1852 Catherine Anne b. 1853 Donald b. 1857 Helen b. 1858 m.1894 T.M. Havelack Alexander b. 1864 Margaret Milne b 1865 m. 1897 H. Anderton Charles Taylor b. 1869 m. 1897 J. Litherland Jessie b. 1871 Thanks for taking the time reading this and I truly hope someone can help me or perhaps has the same problem. Best wishes Valdine |

We have found so many records of their children in the US and their are many variations of spellings used. OF their 7 children (all born in Antrim County Ireland): Maggie, Thomas, George, Archie, Elizabeth, Matthew, and Nellie they spelled thier last name in the following ways: Scrimanger, Schriminger, Scriminger, and Scrimgeor. We thank you for your site it's been helpful as we continue on our search. And we hope to one day close the link between Mathew and the other Scriminger's/Scrimgeor's. |

She met her husband Colin in South Africa and they returned to England in 1959. He died in December in Hadleigh, Suffolk.3" Colin was my Granfather, who was origionally married to my grandmother Mary Scott (now residing in Perth.) He later married Mary Luarie, who became my step-grandmother. Their lives, and the lives of my family are well documented in a book Mary wrote before her death entitled 'Single to Durban.' Anyone who is interested can contact me for copy info. |

Peter James Nicol (a son of George & Margaret) came to Moreton Bay (Brisbane) to be druggist and admin. of the Military Hospital in 1840. Late he and his brother (Henry) fornded a sheep run of 25,000 acres and called it "Ballindean" after the Wedderburn estate at Inchture. I have been trying to attend the AGM for about ten years, but something always seems to pop up and prevent it. But I shall suprise one and all one year, as it will happen! Regards to all.

| Message: | Currently I live in Nova Scotia. Originally I'm from Prince Edward Island. My great-aunt, Georgie Scrimgeour is the wife of Stuart Scrimgeour. Uncle Stuart died in May, 1961 while living in Charlottetown, PEI Canada. I would be interested in making a connection to his family to share with my aunt who will be 100 years old in March 2004. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! Marina |

| Message: | I live in Washington State. I have been doing genealogy for a while but am stuck on how to find out when my ancestors immigrated from Scotland to America. My grandfather is Colin Wallace Scrymgeour born in upstate New York or Canada in 1893. His father is William A. (Albert??) Scrymgeour, the 1880 New York census records indicate he was from Canada or Scotland (don't know which for sure - that's where I get stuck.) I have not had any luck so far getting any other records. Can anyone help me? |
