Hi Sheryl,
Saw your request while browsing "Robert Scobie"
My name is John Alexander Scobie and living in Perth, West Australia.
I am a direct descendant of the Robert Scobie you mention.
We have been told he and his family went to NZ on the ship "Robert Henderson" in
1870 but passenger lists I have found have no mention of Scobies on board.  I am
trying to find out which ship they did go on.
A younger member of our tree has compiled a lot of info on this family and I
have a copy of the book she compiled.
I am also trying to find out as much as I can, hopefully we can help each other.
I am using "Family Tree Maker ver 9"
At the moment I am at sea using the ships computer but will be home
about the 4th of December for a few weeks.
My email address is jsco8342@...
Bye for now.
Regards
John Scobie.

Subject: Given and Middle Names

There was indeed a longstanding tradition in Scotland of naming wains after
their grandparents.....

First son after the paternal grandfather
Second son after the maternal grandfather
Third son after the parent

First daughter after the maternal grandmother
Second daughter after the paternal grandmother
Third daughter after the mother.

Note that in some parts of Scotland the paternal/maternal
relationship was reversed in terms of the first two sons and daughters.

After the first three wains of whatever sex, the eldest siblings
of the parents tended to be used.

But I have never ever yet come across an example of the suggested naming pattern
involving greatgrandparents and/or uncles/aunts and greatuncles/aunts that cover
8 sons and 8 daughters !!

Such a pattern, I'd suggest, is a pure myth !

If anyone out there can provide me with such an example, backed up by clear
documentary evidence in the Scottish records, I'll eat whatever hat that they
care to nominate.

Never mind that I'd dearly like to use such an example in my next appropriate
lecture !! <g>

Yes, it's far from uncommon to find the first 3 sons' and 3 daughters' given
names matching the above pattern, but it's equally common to find this pattern
being 'interfered' with by infant deaths, - sometimes the name was 'recycled',
sometimes not.

And equally common to find that the names of 4th and subsequent sons and
daughters, while eldest siblings of the parents often come into the situation,
cannot, in my experience be shown reliably to follow any pattern other than that
of given names that are common in the family tree.  Equally common, however, my
experience is that the given names of fourth and subsequent wains can produce
surprises ! <g>

And sometimes other family events, such as the death of an aged relative led to
a deviation from the above 'ideal' pattern.


As regards family surnames used as middle names, the aristocracy apart, this was
quite uncommon prior to the early decades of the 1800s.

Thereafter, the practice became widespread, but, in my experience there was no
pattern, other than that, -

... the first such surname to be used was the mother's maiden name, but this was
often repeated for many wains ....

... if the mother's maiden surname wasn't repeated, then the father's mother's
maiden name came into play, thereafter maiden surnames in previous generations,
- which can obviously be extremely valuable research clues.

... but watch out for the use of such middle names where there is absolutely no
family connection, - from wide experience, there are many such reasons !!

maiden surname. Daughters aee named after the mother, grandmothers, and aunts,
sons follow this procedure too. Here is an example of my settler whose name was

Joan if you decide to use a genealogist to research your family, spend the
extra dollar/pound, and use a certified professional one, otherwise you
will  turn out to be the long lost gggggdaughter of Robert the Bruce, Willie
Wallace  or Bonnie Prince Tearloch/Chairlie. which considering we are a
population of 5.1  million we are all probably related at some point which ay
explain a number of  peculiarities.

Name Crooks:
John Crukis merchant and burgess of Irving  1635

John Cruix orCruiks in Glensheilds on record 1635

William Cruikis in Polwart 1665

Alexander Cruicks was retoured heir in lands in the  Barony of Monkland
1692. (sounds like fought in a revolt and lost the family  lands)

James Crukes of Carturk was retoured heir of  Alexander Craiks of Carturk
1698

Ramsey Crooks 1786 to 1859 Fur trader described by Black Hawk he  Indian
chief as "the best pale-face friend the red man ever ad," as born in  Greenock

Hope this helps a wee bit
Dave






I'm trying to obtain some general information on the origin of  the Crooks
name and family.

The few bits of family information I  have on my ggg grandfather, James
Crooks, indicate he came to this country  from Ireland and the surname was
possibly spelled Crookes. I've found  several family trees online that
indicate
he was born in Glamoris, Scotland,  but there is no source or documentation
for this information and none of the  trees indicate that he was born in
Ireland.

I did make contact with a  distant cousin who said she had visited Scotland
and we were descended from  the Stewart clan, but she couldn't or wouldn't
provide anything to support  this.

I seem to remember reading something online about a massive  migration of
people from Scotland to Ireland sometime in the 1700's, which  might
explain
why my family thinks James came from Ireland and others have  somehow
determined he was actually born in Scotland.

Can you provide  any information on migrations from Scotland to America, or
the British  colonies as they were back then, in the 1700's ? Would
immigrants have come  directly from Scotland or traveled to Ireland first
or could
it have been  either one ?

Any information you could provide would be greatly  appreciated.

Regards,
Joan Crooks

I have Clark's in my family.  So far they seem to be from Fife and West Lothian.
The earliest I have is Michael Clark born in Ireland and he married Jane Nevins
(Navin) in Auchterderran, Fife, Scotland.  He died in  1890 in Bathgate, West
Lothian.  Dont't know if this will help you any.

I use the spelling that's in the BDM registrations or on the OPRs. Apart from my
aunty and me, I believe all the Catherines regardless of spelling were called
Kate, Katy or Katie.
I might add that I prefer to be called by my full name, Catherine, but would
accept almost any abbreviation of my name except those three mainly because
Australia's notorious bushranger Ned Kelly had a sister, Kate. Kelly was my
surname before I married.  Just one of my pecularities, I guess. On the other
hand, my brother Neil was nicknamed "Ned" by his mates at high school and work
and it never bothered him.

My grandmother's birth name was Mary Susie and when she got married the Marriage
Certificate states that her name is Pearl Henrietta. Her School records and her
high school diploma that I have also state that her name was Pearl. Family
members referred to her as Pearl, Etta, Henri, Henrietta and the 1930 census
states also that her name was Pearl. Imagine my confusion when I got the
original birth certificate and the name change certificate. I thought she had a

Isn't that the problem with all naming systems? The same names come up. I was
"Bob's Bobby" and my brother was "little Adam" (as opposed to his uncle "Big
Adam"). There were three Helen's "Big Helen" (older), "Little Helen", and
"Ollie's Helen" (she married into the family).  We all knew who we were!

All the talk of naming patterns is very interesting, but it should be

remembered that first and family names mean/meant little or nothing in the

Highlands. It is not unusual to have, in a small village school, a large number

of children who shared the same names. We identified everyone by a nick

Willie Charger.... ran off when the rent man came.

YES!

A neighbour in Urray parish had the common name of Ishbell
Mackay. She may still be alive. So many Mackay women had
that name, she was better know as PIGS MACKAY.

In her village she was the only pig farmer surnamed Mackay.

BCC sent to her neighbour!

Let's be careful to distinguish between nicknames and bynames !

Nicknames are substitutes, bynames are a clarification added to the name, - the
Welsh practice of "Jones the Baker" is the perfect example, using the
occupation.

In the Highlands bynames could be related to appearance or locality as well ,
e.g. there was never a person baptised as Allan Breck Stewart, but there was
Alan Stewart given the byname of "Breck" to reflect his freckled and/or fair
fair complexion.

Similary re Rob Roy or Ruadh McGregor !

Allen: I can't give you a postive answer to your question, but looking at your
surnames they are to be found in a wide area if N. Ireland, so I would be
inclined to think they came from separate areas in Scotland, they are fairly
common Scottish names too which means they might have come from scattered areas.

                                                                       Gordon

You are fortunate, and it appears that I am not alone with my logging in
problems. I now have to think twice before attempting to try again and be
faced with yet another long session of faults and emails . I must admit that
this is a relatively recent problem. I too have had five years of almost
fault free access.
