Trying to find out where my great grandfather went. Last known to have been at Grimes Hall in Kirkby Lonsdale working I think as a Butler. Did he remarry in England and have a second family? |

This has him born in Inverness. Are you sure you have the right person? Please tell us what you know for definite as it is such a common name. |

Kirkby Lonsdale was in Westmorland, just 500m from the Lancs border. |

Mike - to me "between" implies it's in neither. |

Donald McIntosh was born 26/11/1867 at 17 North Street, Forres, Elgin, Scotland. Father Donald McIntosh and mother Janet Smith. In 1897 he married Catherine Carnegie in Glasgow - shotgun marriage. His son my grandfather William Douglas McIntosh was born 10th August 1897. On 7th march 1903 Catherine obtained a divorce. Donald's occupation was Butler. The next record I found was in 1906 when he signed the death certificate of his sister Jane in Forres. On the certificate in 1906 his residence was shown as Grimes Hall, Kirkby Lonsdale which I believe is in Cumbria. I suspect he stayed in England as there is no record of his death in Scotland. He may have remarried in England and had another family. I would be grateful for any information. Bill McIntosh |

Whilst there are 4 ways to spell McIntosh, Mackintosh, MacIntosh and McKintosh, this line of the family has always been McIntosh. Donald could write and on certificates Donald signs his name McIntosh. His Uncles and aunts 10 of them had different variations. His Grandfather was Hugh McIntosh and grandmother Janet McDonald. Depending on who could read and write and what the registrar wrote the spelling of the surname varied. The data above comes from official documents which I have copies of. This data is correct. He disappears from Scottish records and as there is no trace of him dying in Scotland I can only assume he died in England or elsewhere. |
