Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Malcolm McFarlan
• Occupation: Publican Logie, Perthshire, Scotland
• _EMPLOY: 1853
• Occupation: 1856; Innkeeper Wallace Hotel, Causewayhead, Stirlingshire, Scotland

Notes:

1 - Malcolm Mcfarlane died in 1875 at Causewayhead. Helen Mcfarlane was living with her daughter in Glasgow and I don't know what happened to her. There was a son John born 1825 in Logie and was wondering whether he died very young.

From Page 23 of Logie Kirk Sessions: No date
Williiam Towers, from Hill of Aithrey, purchased a plot for four lairs and two headstones at the back of the Church. There is no date for the purchase but in the margin, it says that these lairs were transferred to Malcolm McFarlane on the 7th Ma y 1871 - see page 41.
From Page 32 of Logie Kirk Sessions: May 15th 1776
John Towers appears before the Session and it seems that there has been some mix-up over lairs. These appear to be different lairs to the above ones as each entry gives a description of locations. It tells of how he agrees to move grave stones. Th ere is also a note beside this entry in the margin and it says that these lairs are transferred to John Christie, Ironmoulder in Stirling, grandson of John Towar, this is dated 11th September 1875
From Page 41 of Logie Kirk Sessions: 9th May 1871
Malcom McFarlane provided a deposition dated 13th April/August 1850 signed by Mrs. Michael Towers (Margaret Cumming) in respect of four lairs mentioned on page 23 (of this book).
From Page 74 of Logie Kirk Sessions: 14th October 1850
Hellen Christie, spouse of Malcolm McFarlane, Causewayhead obtained another 4 lairs in the Old Churchyard and then it goes on to describe the location.

2 - I have been doing research on my McFarlane Family tree. Briefly, I am 6th generation Aussie, with firm research connecting me to my 4th Great Grandfather Malcolm McFarlane in Scotland. I found his death certificate, on which it states his Wif e was Helen Christie, father was also a Malcolm Mcfarlane, mother was Ann Parker. His father is stated as being a seaman in the Royal Navy.

3 - I didn't know Malcolm had a brother Peter. I did however come across a Will (everything is left to a brother John) in my research that belongs to a Malcolm Mcfarlane, who has railway stocks. Which correlates with a death certificate that ha s a Malcolm (married to a Helen Christie) stating occupation as being with the railways (carriage inspector or something to that effect). The will is circa 1853, the death cert is 1875. Also has Malcolm's father as Malcolm (his occupation was a Se aman in the RN) and Ann.

1 - We travelled to Scotland in 2007 and stayed at Stirling. My husband's great-grandfather Malcolm McFarlane was born here.Malcolm's father, another Malcolm, was listed in the library as gentry in 1856 and ran what is now known as the Wallace Hot el. We were unable to find records as to the name of the Hotel during this period, the current managers did not have records onsite. We believe the next McFarlane line back was married to a Christie girl, from the local area, being a farming famil y. The Christie girl had a twin brother. My husband to this day is a male twin with a female twin sister. His twin sister has a boy & girl twin. We would find it of great interest if you could direct us where to research further for additional inf ormation about the McFarlanes from 1856 and prior of Stirling. Look forward to your response.

As Donna husbands ancestor Malcolm emigrated to Australia in 1853 it must have been his father Malcolm (the one who married the Christie girl) and is described as gentry in 1856 and ran the Wallace pub.-Ed.

2 - Causewayhead is at a roundabout road junction to Bridge of Allan, Menstrie, etc. It lies at the foot of the Abbey Craig (Wallace Monument) and if my memory serves me there is a hotel at that roundabout. I have had a meal there and I had a pin t after climbing Wallace's Monument.
