Second Generation (Parents) 2. Lester FOTHERINGHAM, son of George FOTHERINGHAM and Helen COCKER, was born on 3 Feb 1948 in 593 Castlemilk Road, Croftfoot, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland and was christened on 4 Mar 1948 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Another name for Lester is Les.

• He had a residence from 1948 to 1948 in Croftfoot, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.

• He had a residence from 1948 to 1950 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. • He resided at Kennet House from 1950 to 1952 in Kennet House, Kennet, Clackmannan, Scotland. Kennet "A mining village, one mile east of Clackmannan. To the west of the village is Kennet House, the family seat of the Bruces of Kennet." In a later mansionhouse (Kennet House) occupied by the Bruce family until 1791, but later demolished, Mrs Bruce of Clackmannan, the last laird's widow, is said to have 'knighted' Robert Burns in 1787 with the sword of King Robert the Bruce. Amongst other favoured guests, she is also said to have dubbed the lexicographer the Rev John Jamieson, editor of the Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language. Schaw Park, Kennet House, Kennet Pans, Kilbagie, Aberdona, Garlet, and Brucefield are the principal mansions; • He had a residence from 1953 to 1953 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.

• He had a residence from 1953 to 1964 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.

• He had a residence from 1964 to 1968 in Stratford, East Kilbride, Scotland. East Kilbride (Scottish Gaelic: Cille Bhrìghde an Ear) is a large suburban town in the South Lanarkshire council area, in the West Central Lowlands of Scotland. Designated as Scotland's first new town in 1947, it forms part of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. The area lies on high ground on the south side of the Cathkin Braes, about 8 miles (13 km) southeast of Glasgow city centre and close to the boundary with East Renfrewshire. The town is enclosed by the White Cart River to the west and the Rotten Calder to the east, the latter flowing northwards to join the River Clyde near Cambuslang. This area was previously the site of the small and historic village of East Kilbride, prior to its post-war development. The modern settlement serves both as a dormitory town for the city of Glasgow and maintains its own commercial centre. The earliest evidence of habitation in the area dates back to ancient graves found near the Kype Water to the south of the district. Roman coins and footwear have also been found in the area. East Kilbride takes its name from an Irish saint, St Bride (or Brigit) who founded a monastery for nuns and monks in Kildare, Ireland in the 6th century. Irish monks introduced her order to Scotland. Kil, from the Gaelic cill, means church or burial place. The area of East Kilbride is home to a river valley which, apart from the Avon Gorge, is unique in the way it was formed. A river usually starts off narrow, fast-flowing, with steep cliffs, and in the hills. This is the youth of the river. Later once the river reaches flat land it begins to widen and meander and flow slower. This is the river's middle age. Calderglen is interesting in that it flows fast, has steep cliffs and is fairly narrow (youth stage) but also meanders. The Rotten Calder therefore has its river youth after its middle age, as the river source is on flatter land and is meandering and slow flowing. Calderglen was in the past celebrated as a picturesque wooded valley. It was the home of a noble family known as the Maxwells of Calderwood who resided in Calderwood Castle. The remnants of Calderwood Castle were demolished in 1951. A few parts of the structure remain. The original parish church was located on the site of a pre-Christian sacred well, which is possibly the origin of the association with St. Brigit, since the well was dedicated to the Celtic goddess whose traditions the reverence of St. Brigit has continued. Over the centuries the church has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. As a result its current location has moved from its original site by about 50 m. The presence of the oystercatcher bird in the coat of arms could arise because this bird was considered sacred to both St. Brigit and her pre-Christian antecedent or because it was part of the Lindsey family crest - which had local connections. East Kilbride grew from a small village of around 900 inhabitants in 1930 to become eventually a large burgh. Behind this growth lay the rapid industrialisation of the nineteenth century which left much of the working population throughout Scotland's central belt from Glasgow to Edinburgh living in the housing stock built at the end of that century but accommodating far more people. The Great War postponed any better housing as did the Treaty of Versailles and the period of post war settlement it created. In turn this was followed by the Great Depression. After the Second World War, Glasgow, already suffering from chronic shortages of housing, had to deal with bomb damage from the war. In 1946 the Greater Glasgow Regional Plan allocated sites where overspill satellite "new towns" could be constructed to help alleviate the housing shortage.[3] Glasgow would also undertake the 4


development of its peripheral housing estates. East Kilbride was the first of five new towns in Scotland to be designated, in 1947, followed by Glenrothes (1948), Cumbernauld (1956), Livingston (1962) and Irvine (1964).[4] The town has been subdivided into residential precincts, each with its own local shops, primary schools and community facilities. The housing precincts surround the shopping centre, which is bound by a ringroad. Industrial estates are concentrated at sites to the north, west and south, on the outskirts of the town.

• He had a residence from 1968 to 1970 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. 20 Tarfside Oval is a tower block in the Tarfside Oval estate consisting of 4 tower blocks, 22 storeys tall in the Mosspark area of Glasgow's south side. They are built to the same design as the multis in Ibroxholm Oval just a few miles up the road and are next to Cardonald College. The scheme was maisonettes. There are also tenement properties around the bases of the multis. • He had a residence from 1970 to 1972 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.

This was the first official home of Lester and Frances

• He had a residence from 1972 to 1980 in 63 Skye Road, Cumbernauld, Scotland. Cumbernauld (Gaelic: Comar nan Allt) is a Scottish new town in North Lanarkshire. It was created in 1956 as a population overspill for Glasgow City. It is the eighth most populous settlement in Scotland and the largest in North Lanarkshire. The name comes from the Scots Gaelic comar nan allt, meaning the meeting of the waters as, geographically, from its high point in the Scottish central belt burns (streams) flow west to the River Clyde and east to the River Forth. HISTORY Cumbernauld's history stretches to Roman times, with a settlement near the Antonine Wall. The Antonine Wall was the furthest and most northerly boundary of the Roman Empire. The security that the wall gave from possibly hostile tribes to the north probably allowed the foundation of a settlement. A rural population grew in the area where Cumbernauld's housing estates now stand, with the centrepoints being the 18th century Cumbernauld House, built close to the site of the medieval Cumbernauld Castle, and Cumbernauld Village nearby. Cumbernauld House stands on the site of the old Cumbernauld Castle, first built as a Norman-style motte and bailey. Owned by the Comyns, it was situated at the east end of the park, where the motte (mound) is still visible. The Fleming family built their castle where the house now sits. One original wall can be seen in the allotment area. The castle played host to the royalty of Scotland, including Mary Queen of Scots, who visited the castle and planted a yew tree at Castlecary Castle, only a mile or two away, which still grows there. Sadly, the roof of the great hall collapsed while the queen was staying there, and although she was not hurt, she visited the relatives of those who were injured or killed in the village below. Royalty often visited the town to hunt the mysterious Scottish ox, or white cattle, which roamed in the woods around Cumbernauld. These woods were a surviving fragment of the ancient Caledonian Forest, in which the oxen abounded. Cumbernauld House was designed by William Adam and is currently unoccupied. The old grounds are used today as a park, known as Cumbernauld Park. A mining and quarrying industry flourished after the construction of the Forth and Clyde Canal, notably 5


at Auchinstarry Quarry which is now a popular location for climbing and abseiling, and at Glencryan, where the old clay mine and its associated structures are still clearly visible. Weaving was an important part of the town's industry before the Industrial Revolution, when all the work of that kind moved to neighbouring bigger towns such as Glasgow. he Scottish Gaelic name from the town, Scottish Gaelic: Comar nan Allt, comes from its being located where streams flow west into the Clyde and east into the Forth rivers, and translates into English as 'The Meeting Of The Waters'. It was long a staging-post for changing horses between Glasgow and Edinburgh. It has variously been in Stirlingshire, Dunbartonshire, and the Cumbernauld and Kilsyth District of Strathclyde region. Since 1995 it has been part of North Lanarkshire. NEW TOWN After the Second World War Glasgow was suffering from chronic shortages of housing and poor housing conditions, particularly in areas such as the Gorbals. As a direct result the Clyde Valley Regional Plan 1946 allocated sites where satellite new towns were to be constructed to help alleviate the problem through an overspill agreement.[3] Glasgow would also undertake the development of its peripheral housing estates. Cumbernauld was designated a new town in 1955, the third to be designated in Scotland. The others were East Kilbride, Glenrothes, Livingston and Irvine (Cowling 1997). The development, promotion and management was undertaken, until 1996, by the Cumbernauld Development Corporation (CDC). This was a quango appointed by the Secretary of State for Scotland (Cowling 1997). Cumbernauld is the most clear example of a modernist new town vision in the UK.[4] Housing was originally delivered through constructing a series of satellite neighbourhoods which were clustered around the hilltop town centre. Separation of people and cars was a major element of the first town masterplan and this was carried through for much of the development of the town. Cumbernauld pioneered designs for underpasses and pedestrian footbridges as well as segregated footpaths. Early neighbourhoods were designed by the CDC and were constructed at Kildrum, Cumbernauld Village, Seafar, North Carbrain and Greenfaulds. Other neighbourhoods were later developed at Condorrat, South Carbrain and Abronhill. Much of the housing of these areas won awards for their innovative designs. During its construction, under the designer's eye of Geoffrey Copcutt, Cumbernauld town centre's daring megastructure architecture was highly praised. Architects, designers, town planners and students of many disciplines visited Cumbernauld from around the globe to marvel at the town, for many years heralded as a utopian construction[citation needed]. When originally designated a New Town the target Population was 50,000. Then in the 1961, only five years after becoming a new town, the Area to the north of the A80 was included in the town's area with new planned neighbourhoods at Balloch, Dullatur, Westerwood and Eastfield. As a result a revised target population of 70,000 was predicted. However only now is the population starting to climb above 50,000, but this is expected to increase substantially with 2,100 houses being built between 2001 and 2008. After the creation of the new town, diverse industries such as high-tech, electronics, and chemical and food processing became large employers, along with the UK government tax collection office, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. The main industrial estates were developed to the east and west along the A80 at Castlecary, Wardpark and Westfield. Areas at Luggiebank and South Carbrain to the south of the town have also been developed for industry. MODERN TIMES Since then, the outlook has changed dramatically and the New Town has won a number of very unflattering awards including the "Plook on a Plinth" in both 2001 and 2005.[5] In December 2005 the entire Town Centre won a public nomination for demolition in the Channel 4 series Demolition, where it was voted "the worst building in Britain".[6] As a result of this, it was featured on the BBC Radio 2 comedy program It's Been a Bad Week, where it won the show's fictional "Worst Week of the Week Award, Awarded Weekly, on a Week-By-Week Basis." In 2003. The intended core of Cumbernauld remains the Town Centre buildings, all of which is essentially contained within one structure, segmented into "phases", the first of which was completed in 1967, the latest of which began construction in May 2003 for completion around September 2004. Initially the basic groundwork for the new shops began in 1997 and were finally completed in summer 2007. 6


Designed to be a commerce centre, an entertainment and business venue and a luxury accommodation site, it was widely accepted as the UK's first shopping mall and was the world's first multi-level covered town centre.[7] However, the town never developed to its planned size, and the town centre has never had the life envisaged by town planners. Wealthy occupiers for the centre's penthouses never materialised and some now lie empty and derelict. Further expansion has been primarily to provide further space for shops. A substantial portion of the original Shopping Centre was demolished due to structural damage and has been redeveloped as a new shopping and leisure complex.[8] As well as the unfulfilled ambitions for the town, the passage of time has exposed serious defects in post-war concepts of centrally-planned retail and civic centres developed in the absence of proper community consultation or sensitivity to local environmental and economic conditions. This has been reflected in a country-wide backlash against modernist architecture in general. Cumbernauld's Town Centre is widely regarded as one of the ugliest and least-loved examples of post-war design in Scotland. The confusing layout is an abiding source of frustration for both visitors and residents, many of whom are the descendants of skilled workers who aspired to escape the frequently appalling social and housing conditions of the Glasgow conurbation in the 1960s and 70s. Despite its bad press, from a purely aesthetic standpoint Cumbernauld is regarded as representing a significant moment in town design, and in 1993 it was listed as one of the sixty key monuments of post-war architecture by the international conservation organisation DoCoMoMo. The residential structure of Cumbernauld is noteworthy in that there were no pedestrian crossings, i.e. zebra or pelican crossings, or traffic lights — pedestrians traverse roads by bridge or underpass. This remained the case until a set of traffic lights were erected in the Condorrat Village neighbourhood Main Street, soon followed by traffic / pelican lights which were erected beside the new Tesco Extra, opened January 2004. This has led to the suggestion that the town is car-centric, and difficult to navigate by foot. The town has a reputation as grim and isolating, and has below-average house prices for the region despite above-average income and below-average unemployment and child poverty rates. However, the town's housing is well planned and generally of high quality, making it a source of local civic pride in stark contrast to the town centre megastructure. House price imbalances across central Scotland mean that large family homes of 4 bedrooms and above are available for occupancy in Cumbernauld at prices and rents often half that of equivalent or less salubrious dwellings in the nearby centres of Glasgow and Stirling. Unfortunately the ideals of the 1960s were never realised and half of the New Town was never built. Cumbernauld was the location for the film Gregory's Girl and its sequel, Gregory's Two Girls. In the film Orphans some of the scenes were shot in Carbrain. Cumbernauld in the last few years has seen a surge of business activity with the expansion of IsolaWerke in the Wardpark area, the New OKI UK headquarters in Wardpark and Yaskawa Electronics, A.G. Barr World Headquarters. • He resided at Ambleside from 1980 to 1993 in 7 Inch Keith, East Kilbride, Scotland.

• He worked as a Lithographer. • He was Protestant. Lester married Frances MALICE on 14 Dec 1968 in Hillington Park Church, Berryknowes Road, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland (Hillington Park Church). Noted events in their marriage were: • They had marriage banns published on 28 Nov 1968 in Hillington Park Church, Berryknowes Road, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Children from this marriage were: 1 i. Paul FOTHERINGHAM ii. Gary FOTHERINGHAM 3. Frances MALICE, daughter of James Gibson MALICE and Violet Bainbridge DENBY, was born on 14 Jul 1945 in 133 Balornock Road, Springburn, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland Another name for Frances is Frankie General Notes: The O'Molloys, now always simply Molloy or occasionally Mulloy, are of very distinguished origin. They are of the southern Ui Neill, traditionally descended from the famous Niall of the Nine Hostages, King of Ireland A.D. 371. The head of this important sept was O'Molloy chief or lord of Fercal, a district covering several baronies of the county of Offaly (alias King's County). In Irish this name is O Maolmhuaidh, which, according to O'Donovan, signified noble or venerable chieftain. A quite different origin is traced for the Molloys of Connacht, who are called O Maiol Aoidy (servant of St. Aedh), a name which has many anglicized forms such as Millea, Miley and Mullee, the most usual being Molloy. The origin of the Offaly sept is evidenced by the fact that in early records in English the name is often given as O'Mulmoy. Many of this distinguished family had friendly relations with the English crown. In 1189 Albin O'Molloy (d 1223), then Bishop of Ferns, was one of the officiating prelates at the coronation of Richard I and, notwithstanding the efforts of several prominent O'Molloys to withstand Tudor aggression in Ireland, their chief was appointed hereditary bearer of the English standard in Ireland, an office he exercised at least within the Pale. An important branch of this sept, whose head was known as the Green Molloy, is said to have migrated to Co. Roscommon, though one eminent authority, John O'Donovan, considered them a distinct sept. The fact remains that east Connacht and Offaly are the main habitats of Molloys in modern times. Many distinguished O'Molloys and Molloys may be mentioned. Albin O'Molloy (see above) was a Cistercian monk before he became Bishop of Ferns; he is remembered for his reply to Geraldus Cambrensis, attributing the ills of Ireland to English and Welsh clerical intruders, and for his excommunication of the Earl of Pembroke. Two other priests were notable, viz. the Franciscan, Rev. Francis Molloy, author of Lucerna Fidelium (published 1676) and the first printed Irish grammar, and Monsignor Gerald Molloy (1834-1906), theologian and scientist. James 8


Lynam Molloy (1837-1909), composer of "Love's Old Sweet Song" and many popular ballads, Joseph Fitzgerald Molloy (1858-1908), novelist and poet, Charles Molloy (1690-1767), dramatist, and Charles Molloy (1646-1690), author of a standard treatise on maritime law, where other contributors to the literature of their country. Most of these were Offaly men. There were two distinguished officers of the name in King James II's army in Ireland and one, a relative, in that of King William. In treating these names in Irish Families as anglicized forms of O Maolaoidh of Connacht I followed Woulfe. Further research shows that almost every record in which they appear relates to Leinster, mainly Co. Kilkenny or an adjacent area. Among these are Fiants of 1575, the "census" of 1659, Ossory and Preogative wills of the eighteenth century and Griffith's Valuation of the nineteenth. it would seem unlikely therefore that the Irish form of these midland families is O Maolaoidh: but I am unable as yet to suggest the correct alternative. When Millea occurs in Connacht it is probably a corrupt form of (O) Malley, Mullee being the usual anglicization form of O Maolaoidh there. The use of Molloy as a synonym of Slowey in the Cavan-Monaghan area of Ulster is explained by the elision of the C and the aspiration of the S in the spoken form of the Irish Mac Sluaghaidh. O'MOLLOY, MULLOY: O'MAOLMHUAIDH MODERN COUNTY: Offaly MEANING: `descendant of Maolmhuadh'. (The name derived from maol `chieftain' and muadh `proud'.) Albin O'Molloy, died 1223, was one of the bishops who officiated at the coronation of King Richard the Lionheart in England in 1189. A less important O'Molloy sept derived its name from O'Maoil Aoidh `descendant of a follower of St Aedh'. Molloy Molloy, along with Mulloy and O'Molloy, is the anglicised version of a number of distinct Irish names. The O Maolmhuaidh, from maolmhuadh meaning 'proud chieftain', were part of the southern Ui Neill, the southern branch of the large tribal grouping claiming descent from Niall of the Nine Hostages, the fifth-century king who supposedly kidnapped St patrick to Ireland. they held power over a large part of what is now Co Offaly, where the surname is still very common. A second family were the O Maoil Aodha, 'descendant of the devoteee of (St) Aodh', from maol, literally 'bald', a reference to the distinctive tonsure sported by early Irish monks. As well as Molloy, this surname has also been anglicised as 'Miley' and 'Millea'. The name arose in east Connacht, in the Roscommon/east Galway region, and remains numerous there today. Motto - I would rather die than be disgraced Noted events in her life were: • She had a residence from 1945 to 1999 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.

5. Helen COCKER, daughter of David COCKER and Margaret Hughes MURPHY, was born on 3 Jun 1925 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, died on 23 Feb 1976 in Hairmyres Hospital, Eaglesham Road, East Kilbride, Scotland, G75 9Jl, and was cremated in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. The cause of her death was Aute Myocardial Infarction/Ischaemic Heart Disease. Another name for Helen was Ella. General Notes: On the bonny banks of Loch Lomond, long immortalised by Scotland's bards in song and verse, is the territory of the Colquhouns and it is there that much of the Clan's turbulent history unfolds. Although the name Colquhoun derives from the barony of Colquhoun in Dumbartonshire, which was granted in 1241, the lands surrounding Loch Lomond became part of the Clan estates through the late fourteenth century marriage of Sir Robin Colquhoun to the Fair Maid of Luss, a Celtic heiress to the lands of Luss. However, the irrepressible allure which this scenic region held to other neighbouring clans meant that the Clan Colquhoun were compelled throughout the centuries to defend their possessions through the might of the sword and the power of the law. Despite hostilities from the MacLeans and the warlike MacGregors, the Clan vigorously asserted sovereignty over their lands, with Colquhoun clansmen often willing to lay down their lives to ensure the maintenance of the Clan's power in Luss. Even Colquhoun chiefs were ready to die for their people - in 1439, one chief died on the Loch Lomond island of Inchmurrin, a casualty in a battle with the MacLeans of Duart. However, while the Colquhouns were ready to fight, they were not unskilled in the art of strategy, both in the field of battle and the field of politics. When Iain Colquhoun was requested by King James I to retrieve the apparently impregnable Dumbarton Castle from the Crown's enemies, he responded "Se je puis", hence the clan's motto. While the castle was indeed well fortified, it was cunning which won the day. Iain invited the castle's garrison to go hunting, and the undefended castle was easily taken by the King's troops. The Clan's greatest enemies were the tumultuous MacGregors. In the Battle of Glenfruin in 1603, 200 Colquhoun clansmen lost their lives to the enemy clan, and the MacGregors carried off over 600 cattle and 280 horses, sheep and goats. The Colquhouns never fully recovered from the magnitude of the military defeat, and their lands passed, through a marriage of a Colquhoun heiress to a Grant chief in 1718, to the Clan Grant. Even under these circumstances, the astuteness of the Colquhouns shone through. The father of the heiress, Sir Humphrey Colquhoun having only his daughter to succeed him, made a deal with the Crown whereby he would renounce his baronetcy in return for an assurance that his daughter and son-in-law would inherit the lands and chieftainship of the Clan, but the Clan name would never be under the control of the Clan Grant. Sir Ivar Colquhoun of Luss, the 28th Chief, resides on the Clan's original lands beside Loch Lomond at Camstradden, near Luss, Dumbartonshire. The Clan crest is a stag's head, and the motto is "Si Je Puis" meaning, in Old French "If I Can". Gaelic Name: Maca'Chobaich Motto: Si je Puis (If I can) Badge: Hazel Lands: Loch Lomond-side Origin of Name: Placename, Dunbartonshire Pipe Music: The Colquhoun's March History In 1241, the time of Alexander II, Malcolm, Earl of Lennox, granted the lands of Colquhoun in Dunbartonshire to Humphrey of Kilpatrick. Humphrey's son Ingram is the first person recorded as taking Colquhoun for his surname. Around 1368, Luss, on Loch Lomond, was acquired by Sir Robert Colquhoun through marriage. From then on the chiefship has been described as of Colquhoun and Luss. His grandson Iain Colquhoun of Luss married Margaret, the daughter of the Earl of Lennox. When James I returned from English imprisonment a few years later in 1424, one of the people he took his vengeance upon was the unsupportive Lennox. The position of Lennox was decimated and Iain of Luss took advantage of this to win the King's favour by capturing Dumbarton Castle from Lennox. By 1427 he was Sheriff of Dumbarton and by 1439 he was dead, like his King, killed by those he had treated so badly. By way of compensation, James II made Luss a free barony for Colquhoun's grandson Sir Iain. It remained this way until the Rising of 1745. Luss was raided by thieving MacGregors <../MacGregor/history.html> in 1603, leading to a bloody battle and defeat of five hundred Colquhoun men, three hundred of whom were on horseback, by four hundred MacGregor men at Glen Fruin. Over two hundred of the Colquhoun men were lost when the MacGregors, who had split into two parties, attacked from front and rear and forced the horsemen onto the soft ground of the 15


Moss of Auchingaich. It meant the proscription of the Clan Gregor. It wasn't until the eighteenth century that the enmity between the clans was laid to rest when, at Glen Fruin on the site of the massacre, the chiefs of the Clan Gregor and Colquhoun met and shook hands. The 11th Laird of Luss, Sir John Colquhoun, became a Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1625. Seven years later, however, he vanished along with Lady Catherine Graham <../Graham/history.html>, his wife's sister. He was accused of using witchcraft and sorcery to woo her and so, wisely, never returned to clear his name. Today the family is seated in the great mansion of Rossdhu.

Children from this marriage were: i. Peter FOTHERINGHAM was born on 3 May 1912 in Scotland and died on 11 Dec 1954 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Peter married Molly Jane BURNESS circa 1942. ii.

George FOTHERINGHAM. George married Helen COCKER, daughter of David COCKER and Margaret Hughes MURPHY, on 31 Aug 1943 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. George next married Elizabeth RIDDELL, daughter of Alexander Williamson RIDDELL and Mary SEALY, on 7 Mar 1980 in Claremont Church, East Kilbride, Scotland (Claremont Church). 9. Annie Mitchell CUITS, daughter of Thomas CUITS and Sarah BUTCHER, was born on 17 Dec 1885 in 16 Charlotte Street, Stranraer, Scotland, died in 1973 in Cleland Hospital, Nursing Home, Cleland, Lanarkshire, Scotland, and was buried in 1973 in Rutherglen Cemetery, Rutherglen, Lanarkshire, Scotland. General Notes: Definition: 1) A place name from the Cunningham area in the Ayrshire district of Scotland, which, in turn, got its name from the words "cunny" or "coney" meaning rabbit and "hame" meaning home (rabbit's home). Another possible translation is that the name derived from "cuinneag" meaning "milk pail" along with the Saxon "ham" meaning "village." Surname Origin: Scottish Alternate Surname Spellings: CUNNYNGHAM, KONNINGHAM, KOENIGAM (Donegan, Counihan) The surname Cunningham or Conyngham is among the 75 most numerous in Ireland, the estimated number of persons so called in 1954 being 8,550. they are distributed over all four provinces, the majority being found in the Ulster counties of Down and Antrim and in the Connacht counties of Galway and Roscommon. In the former the families in question are for the most part of Scottish origin; in the latter they are native Irish. The original Irish-Gaelic forms O Connaghain and Mac Cuinneagain were first written as O'Cunnigan and Mac Cuinneagain were first written as O'Cunnigan and MacCunnigan. Under the anglicizing influence of three centuries of British occupation many old Gaelic families, having dropped the O or Mac, gradually assumed an English or Scottish name approximating to theirs in sound. Thus Cunnigan became Cunningham. There is hardly another name in Ireland which appears in the Registrar-General's records, voters' lists and so forth in so many different guises. Side by side with the standard form Cunningham, we find Coonaghan, Counihan, Cunnighan, Kinningham, Kinighan, Kinagam, Kinnegan and MacCunnigan in Ulster, while Conaghan and Kinaghan are two of the many variants elsewhere. Counihan and Coonaghan, however are properly the anglicized forms of the north Munster name O Cuanachain. The true Irish Cunninghams trace their descent from two sources in Connacht, the Gaelic forms given above denoting son (mac) or descendant (O) of Connagan, which is a diminutive of the personal name Conn. One branch stems from Fiachra, brother of the famous Niall of the Nine Hostages are father of the last pagan King of Ireland, and was located in Co. Sligo; the other is a sept of the Ui Maine (often called Hy Many), a wide spread group of septs centred in counties Galway and Roscommon of which O'Kelly was the most important. As is not unusual in the case of smaller families which, notwithstanding the destruction of the Gaelic order after 1603, refused to accept English rule, no arms are on record at the Office of Arms in Dublin Castle for O'Cunnigan or MacCunnigan. The well-known Cunninghams arms are those of a Scottish family, several branches of which settled in Ireland in the seventeenth century and became influential in the north. There is a tradition that these Cunninghams were originally Irish settlers in Scotland: be that as it may they were in Scotland as early as the eleventh century, since their arms and their motto "over fork over" are based on an incident which occurred about the year 1050 when the Cunninghams' ancestor saved the life of Malcolm Canmore, afterwards King of Scotland, by covering him with hay and thus concealing him from MacBeth's pursuing forces. The most distinguished Irishman of the name was probably Timothy Cunningham (d. 1761), the antiquarian, member and benefactor of the Royal Irish Academy. Mention may also be made of Henry first Marquess Conyngham (1766-1832), who was an Irish representative peer and a man of influence in England in the reign of George IV, and also of John Cunningham (172922


1773), the Irish actor and poet. Some of the Cunninghams in Ulster acquired their surname in quite a different way from those dealt with above. There was a minor sept of MacDonegan in Co. Down, one of whom, John Donegan or MacDonnegan, was Bishop of Down from 1395 to 1412, while earlier in the fourteenth century Florence MacDonnagan was Bishop of Dromore. In this area the name was first corrupted to MacConegan and later some of these MacConegans changed this to Cunningham in imitation of the Scottish settlers. Others, however, retained the more correct modernized form Dunnigan, and Dunnigans are still to be found in Co.. Down. This name is not to be confused with Donegan or Dongan - O Donnagain in Irish - an important sept of Muskerry, Co. Cork, whose territory was around Rathluirc. Thomas Donegan (1634-1715), last Earl of Limerick (of the first creation) Governor of New York from 1683 to 1691, was the most distinguished man of this name. Noted events in her life were: • She was Protestant from 1885 to 1973 in Scotland. • She had a residence in 1891 in 48 South Coburg Street, Tradeston, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. • She worked as a Copyholder 1899 to 7 Jan 1903 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.

Noted events in his life were: • He worked as a Flesher (Master) about 1850 in Strathaven, Avondale, Lanarkshire, Scotland. James married Margaret BROWNLIE on 6 Jan 1821 in Strathaven, Avondale, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Children from this marriage were: 34 i. William HEPPLE.

Margaret BROWNLIE, daughter of Robert BROWNLIE and Lillias STERLING, was born in 1801 in Strathaven, Avondale, Lanarkshire, Scotland and was christened on 7 Dec 1801 in Strathaven, Avondale, Lanarkshire, Scotland. General Notes: Torfoot Farm, Strathaven, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Torfoot Farm is located about 7 miles southwest of Stathaven, Scotland. The lands of Glengavil in Lanarkshire were given by the 1st Duke of Hamilton to his illegitimate (later legitimatized) son, James of Finnart. In 1547 John and William Brounlie are listed among the tenants on the lands of Glengvill which includes Torfoot, as are John and Andrew Hamilton. (Register of the Great Seal of Scotland, 1547) Its likely that most, if not all, the Brownlies in Lanarkshire descend from this John & William Brounlie. 40


1634 Rentals of the Barony of Avondale include Johnne Hamilton in Toirfute "land will saw (sow) of corne and beir (barley) and Johnne Brounlie in Toirfute "as above". (The original manuscript is held by Hamilton Central Library among the papers of the Dukes of Hamilton) 1658 29 December Anne, Duchess of Hamilton with consent of William, Earl of Selkirk, her spouse, deeded 8 shilling fourpenny of the lands of Torfitt which is one part of the lands of Glengivell with houses, biggins, yards, crofts, etc. to Thomas Hamilton and the same to John Brownlie, liferant (during his lifetime) and Thomas his lawful son, inheritable (to be passed to his heir). (This was probably because of his descent from the Hamiltons through his mother, Helen. This John Brownlie was md to Helen Hamilton and Thomas Hamilton was md. to Helen Brownlie.) The land at that time was already occupied by Thomas Hamilton and John Brownlee. 1659, 5 April, John Young granted rights to his eldest daughter, Janet, "future spouse of Thomas Brownlie, Portioner in Torfoot and on 14 June that year , Thomas Hamilton granted rights to 1/3 part of his lands to his wife, Helene Brownlee during her lifetime. 1668, 4 November, the estate of Margaret Muir, spouse to the deceased John Brounly of Torfoot was inventoried. (Register of Testaments, Volume 35).. No one has figured out just yet how this John fits into the family - possibly father of John the 1st Laird. 1679, Thomas Brownlee, Laird of Torfoot, fought in the Battle of Drumclog and, three weeks later, the Battle of Bothwell Bridge. The History of Avondale and Strathaven by William Fleming Downing includes the following in his account of the Battle of Drumclog: "In the subsequent raid on the district for the purpose of capturing the "rebels" it is recorded of Brownlie of Torfoot that sitting at dinner one day he was acquainted with the fact that the troopers were approaching his house. Rushing across the courtyard he took shelter in a barn and his wife hurriedly covered him with straw. Returning to the courtyard, Mrs. Brownlie awaited in fear and trembling the arrival of the soldiers. They at once proceeded to search the house and failing to find their man began to overhaul the farm buildings. Several troopers stuck their swords into the straw. At length one of the men got on top and shook the whole pile by swaying his body. "There's no one here lads" he shouted, and the men left the building. Contriving to leave last, he turned to Mrs. Brownlie and said, "Next time ye cover yer man see ye mak' a better job o't." 1693, 4 Jan Matrimonial Contract between John Brownlee, son of Thomas Brownlee and Janet Young, and Janet Hamilton, daughter of Robert Hamilton. 1713, 27 July the Brownlee portion of Torfoot passes to John Brownlee son of Thomas Brownlee deceased. 1747, 21 May the Brownlee portion of Torfoot passes to Thomas Brownlie, eldest son and heir of John Brownlie. I think it was at this time that my ancestor John (2nd or maybe 3rd son) came to America. 1773, 20 May the Brownlee portion of Torfoot passes to James Brownlee, eldest son and heir of Thomas Brownlee. 1803, 14 July disposition of James Brownlee in favor of his son, John. This deed conveys "all and hail my sixteen shilling eight penny land of Torfoot". At some point the Hamilton share of Torfoot must have passed to the Brownlees. It also grants "the rights of pasture of herding 40 old sheep on the lands of Waterhead called Greystonhill or muir of Peelhill under burden of which the said lands of Waterhead Greyston muir were disposed by Thomas Brownlie my father to James Young upon the 28th day of February 1765 but reserving always from this disposition not only the aforesaid lands of Greystonmuir disposed by my said father to James Young, but also reserving therefrom the free right and property or dominion utile (i.e. right of property) …of all and haill the northermost half of side of the said lands of Torfoot with houses and pertinents thereon, that piece of meadow near overhouse called Bogston Meadow and the right of grazing the one half of the said 40 sheep in Waterheadmuir all as disposed by me in feu form and heirtage to Alexander Brownlie my third son as more particularly discribed in my free disposition thereof to his being dated 14 day of May 1800." This James Brownlee and his wife, Margaret Craig went to Pennsylvania where he died 12 May 1817 and she died 17 Apr 1812. They are buried in Laurence Co. PA. Roman coins were found on the lands of Torfoot in 1803. 1823, 22 May Disposition of Trust and Deed of Settlement from John Brownlie to his brother, 41


Alexander, with directions to convert his whole estate into money. 1831, 2 March & 20 April John Brownlee of Torfoot now residing in Franklin County, State of Pennsylvania in U.S.A. sold the property to Jean Struthers, wife of William Dykes, Surgeon in the Royal Navy. Purchase price was 1,345 pounds. 1872, 11 November Jean Struthers Dykes sold the property to Alexander Park, resident of West Auchenlongford in County of Ayr. Purchase price 2,665 pounds. (The preceding was extracted from the Registers of Lanarkshire by Mrs. Kate Sherwood, a descendant of James Brownlee and Margaret Craig.) Births Recorded at Torfoot 11 April, 1699 - John Brownlee (my ancestor who came to America), son of John 5 July, 1701 - Jean Brownlee, daughter of John 23 May 1703 - John Brownlee, son of Archibald 31 May 1709 - Andrew Brownlee, son of John 2 July, 1714 - Janet Brownlee, daughter of John 1 Nov., 1724 - Jean Brownlee, daughter of Thomas 5 Nov., 1725 - Janet Brownlee, daughter of Thomas 1 Jan., 1728 - Martha Brownlee, daughter of Thomas 10 June, 1735 - John Brownlee, son of Thomas 31 Dec., 1735 - Agnes Brownlee daughter of Thomas 25, June 1750 - Marion Hamilton, daughter of John, Portioner 11 Sept., 1756 - Isobel Hamilton, daughter of Andrew (The above extracted by B. Rudolph from Parish Records of Lanarkshire) Research Notes: Origins of the Name Brownlee • Brownlie • Brounlee • Brounlie • Brounley • Brounly • Brounel • Brounle • Brounlea • Brownlea • Brounele • Brownleigh Introduction After a lot of research, most of which is inconclusive, the following facts must be considered in any appraisal of how and where the name originated. Before 1855 recording of births, baptisms, etc. was a ‘hit and miss’ process and the accuracy depended largely on the ability of the recording clerk to spell, and the degree of his sobriety at the time. For instance in Allan Lindsay Arnold's family there is evidence of the following confusion in the parish records for Livingstone, Linlithgowshire, Scotland. 10th October 1819 – birth of DAVID, lawful son of James BROWNLIE and 22nd April 1821 – birth of JOHN lawful son of James BROWNLIE. James’ own birth was recorded – 5th August 1792 as son of David BROWNLEE. Since about the mid 19th Century these names seem to have become stabilised, and with better literacy, better communications and compulsory records of births, marriages and deaths – families have retained these variant spellings through to the present time. From the year 1486 to the early 1800’s, there are ample records of people named BROUNEL, BROUNLE, BROWNELE, BROUNLIE, BURNLY, BURNLEY, in some cases these various forms of spelling all refer to the same person. There are references to people of this name in sasine records as early as 1486 and 1489, but while these appear to be the earliest of Brownlee records, a check through the Register of the Great Seal of Scotland prior to the year 1500, show a great number of people named Broun. Charter No. 1293, in 1533 refers to Brounside Vic. Lanark. I think that this relates to a different estate to that named Brownlee near Carluke. Lee Estate – Carnwath It is believed, that the following explanation is possibly the most acceptable option at the moment. There is a very famous estate called Lee near Carnwath in Lanarkshire which has been famous since the 12th Century and a study of early records indicates that the district’s name has developed through the following variations: Chefcarneuat 1116 Charnewid 1165 Karnewid 1178 Carnewith 1185 Carnwyth 1359 Carnewith 1451 Carneweth 1507 42


The Somervilles of Carnwath were a family of warriors whose name was once honoured throughout the land. The family seat was Couthally Castle, the ruins of which may still be seen near the railway station (c1970). The Kings James III, IV and V were frequent guests of the Somervilles and attended hunting parties there. From “Couthally”, the Somervilles moved to "Double Tower" and finally to “Carnwath House”. This house is on the left of the road as one comes from Lanark and forms part of what was one of the most beautiful approaches in the land. Opposite Carnwath House is the parish church and St. Mary’s Aisle, now all that remains of the church erected by Lord Somerville in 1424. The large window of the Chapel is one of the finest specimens of Gothic architecture to be seen anywhere. As Roslin Chapel, often reputed to be the oldest in the country is dated 1446 (St. Mary’s would seem to be even older) it is now used as a Mausoleum by the Lockharts of Lee and Carnwath and was carefully repaired by Sir Simon McDonald Lockhart. In explanation of how the name of Lockhart came to replace that of Somerville it should be explained that the Somerville family had fallen on evil times and finally had to sell all that remained of their lands in Carnwath, to the Earl of Mar. In 1634 the estates passed to Sir Robert Dalziel, 2nd Earl of Carnwath, and then in 1684 the 4th Earl sold to Sir George Lockhart, then President, of the Court of Sessions. The present Laird, Major Simon McDonald Lockhart is a descendant of that Great Scottish Lawyer. According to some reports there have been Brownlees associated with the Somerville Estates and later with the Lockharts of Lee for a number of centuries and, if one examines the records of sasine re John Brounele or Carwour, one might easily come to the following conclusion: John BROUNELE or CARWOUR may have been John BROUN of LEE of CARNWATH?? Brownlee and Forest are common names between Garrion and Carstairs, both of which adjoin Carnwath in Lanarkshire although the origin of Brownlee may be debated, there appears to be enough evidence to warrant an assumption that the earliest recorded Brownlees either took the name from the LEE property or from the estate called Brownlee which lies between Garrion Bridge and Law and was originally the Barony of Mauldslie. In a letter to Allan Lindsay Arnold Brownlee, Sir James MontiethGrant, Lord Lyon King of Arms on 5th September 1969, stated: “The cinquefoil ermine alludes to Hamilton, who were portioners of Brounlie in the Parish of carluke in the 17th century. The name Brownlee is said to have originated from this estate”. Margaret married James HEPPLE on 6 Jan 1821 in Strathaven, Avondale, Lanarkshire, Scotland. 70. Thomas KAY was born in 1786.
