To Rhonda Smith who is looking for connections in Hawick, Scotland where
her father Ivan Cleghorn lived from 1911 to 1938.
All the sons of the earliest ancestor of mine that I can find (John
Cleghorn b. 1769 m. 14 June 1799 in Ettrick to Isabel Oliver chr. 3 Feb
1777 in Hawick parish) emigrated to Guelph, Ontario, Canada with him in
1831 so there would not have been anyone left in Scotland to pass on
the Cleghorn name in my branch of Cleghorns. Your Ivan could be a
descendant of a brother of John's but so far I have not been able to
find any siblings for him. I do know however that at least the last 2
sons (11 children), Robert & Oliver, of John & Isabel were born in
Hawick but they also came to Canada. How far back do you go in your search?
Thanks to the IGI website set up by Hugh Wallis I have recently found a
Thomas Cleghorn married to a Betty Laing 24 July 1768 in Yarrow,
Selkirk, Scotland that could possibly have fathered my John the
following year but of course cannot definitely say until I find someone
who knows of this couple and who their children were. I also found a
John Cleghorn christened 07 May 1769 in Drumelzier, Peebles, Scotland
with parents James Cleghorn and Jean Waters. Again I have no idea if
this is my ancestor as I do not know his parents names but the birth
year is the same. If anyone out there can enlighten me on these
Cleghorns it would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck on your search.
