• Notes

  Robert, born 1829 in Cumbernauld. He was the son of Thomas McFarlane and Christian Grinlay. They married 1825, also in Cumbernauld. I have now found that Robert McFarlane's grandparents were Thomas McFarlane and Elisabeth Baird. They were of Condorrat (now part of Cumbernauld). When I was doing research into this branch of my family (my paternal grandmother's), I found a Thoma s McFarlane of Condorrat sentenced to transportation during the Radical War ... however, not confirmed it the same person but would be interesting to see if it is.
