Hi John,
The Four sons of Robert Livingston and Agnes Nicol I lost track of except one. His son James Livingston a journeyman married Mary McLean Nov. 12, 1895 in Cambuslang Parish, Lanarkshire A son Hector McLean Livingston was born August 19,1901 in Cambuslang Parish, Lanarkshire and a daughter Agnes Nicol Livingston was born December 27, 1905 also in Cambuslang Parish, Lanarkshire. This family line then would be:

1. Donald Livingston 1728-1816 Savary Morvern, Hero of Battle of Culloden, Cattle drover, Savary Miller and Hotel keeper m. Jane/Jean Stewart
2. Adam Livingston Miller of Savary, Morvern early 1800's m. Margaret McDonald
3. Robert Livingston b. abt. 1825 Savary, Morvern m. Agnes Nicol (Robert left Morvern for Lanarkshire by 1851
4. James Livingston b.Cambuslang Parish, Lanarkshire 1870 m. Mary Ann McLean
5. Hector McLean Livingston b.1901 Cambuslang Parish, Lanarkshire
6. Descendants Unknown at Present of Hector?

I wonder if Hector McLean Livingston has any descendants?

My QUestion was soon answered by John Livingston who discovered that his son Hector McLean Livingston who was Jame's only known son died a day or so following his birth in 1901.

"Hi Donald,

Just came across a Hector McLean Livingstone, b. 14 or 15 Aug. 1901 at Cambuslang, GROS Data 627/00 0553.

Unfortunately, Hector died at under two days old, suffering from convulsions, GROS Data 627/00 0215."

Death was on 16 Aug. 1901 at 6, Morriston Terrace, Cambuslang, f. James Livingstone, journeyman joiner, & m. Mary Ann McLean,

John.

2.Robert Livingstone b. January 1,1899 Cambuslang Parish died 1974 Cambuslang Parish Lanarkshire (Are there any descendants John?)

Hi John,

This is my understanding of Robert's father Adam Livingston the early 1800's Savary, MOrvern Miller. Not much info on him but this is what I have pieced together on the family. What we know then about Adam is fragmentary though there are some interesting bits and pieces.

Adam Livingston b. tenant Savary, Morvern (bornbefore 1800 died before 1841 Savary, Morvern) and Mary? One Child
1.Sarah Livingston born Savary abt. 1812/1813? baptised 1815 Morvern Parish ( recorded as illegitimate birth in 1815 Morvern Parish baptism record) died 1891 Lochaline, Morvern m. Donald Livingston b. 1793 agricultural laborer/crofter of Savary , Morvern
A few years later Adam Livington the Savary Morvern Miller married Margaret McDonald

Adam Livingston b. Savary, Morvern m. wife Margaret (Peggie) McDonald
2. Jean Livingston b. abt. 1822 at Savary m. Hugh Cameron d. 1893 at Achronich, Morvern according to her death record
3. Ann Livingston b. unknown died in 1866 Dartmoor,Australia m. Joseph Povey in 1855 in Victoria Australia. Ann and their two sons George and Adam died of TB. Sons George and Adam buried at Digby Cemetery, Dartmoor. Joseph Povey remarried.
4. Robert Livingston b. abt. 1825/1826 Savary, Morvern married Agnes Nicol d. 1906 Cambuslang Parish, Lanarkshire

Adam and other children of the legendary Donald Livingston 1728-1816 should be buried at old Kiel Cemetery near Lochaline in Morvern I would think where Donald buried his father and Mother John and Ann Livingston around 1760. Adam's brother also named Robert was buried at Kiel Cemetery in 1856 according to his death record as were other family members. The older name for the cemetery was Colmkil.

Hi John,

Thanks for that. Well I guess no descendants for Hector. Perhaps we will have greater luck with Robert Livingstone born in 1899 at Cambuslang Parish to James Livingston and Mary Ann McLean.

Donald

Donald,

It's not looking too good on Robert either, I've found a birth & a death for him, but no sign of a marriage, or birth of any children.

Robert b. 1899 at Cambuslang to James Livingstone & Mary Ann McLean, GROS Data 627/00 0027, d. 1978 at Cambuslang, age 79, GROS Data 573/00 0069.

I also had a look in the phone books for Rutherglen/Cambuslang, there are still a few Livingstones in the area, less than 10 I think, & nothing to indicate by their christian names that they are related to the family we are presently looking at, but who knows, still one left to look at,

John

Hi Donald,

The last I've found on this family, not exactly the info we had hoped for, but what's new;

Annie McLean Livingstone, b. 03 Apr. 1896, at 6, Morriston Terrace, Cambuslang, no further info available at present. The only other person I can find with the same name, died in Edinburgh, unfortunately, the ages do not tie in.

Agnes Nicol Livingstone, b. 27 Dec. 1905, at 6, Morriston Terrace, Cambuslang, GROS Data 627/00 0024, d. 1976 at Motherwell & Wishaw, GROS Data 570/00 0826, again, no sign that she married.

John
