Dear Malcolm:

Greetings! I have additional information to add to the New Brunswick Monteiths. How do I submit updates? Do I send you an E-mail with the attached document? Please advise. Thank-you.

PS. The information I have involves the 3rd generation son by the name of Archibald. He is my GGGrandfather. He had 3 sons and a daughter. I found the extended family long after the Brayall book (by Linda Fairley) was published. Seems the information as published on this site comes directly from this book.

Whilst surfing the net I inputted my name into a search engine and surprisingly found your web page. As you can see my name is Colin Monteith and I am from Belfast in Northern Ireland. The family moved to the North West of England in the early eighties,I have 1 sister and 2 brothers and My parents also live locally. My father's name is Norman Monteith and grandfather William (who died in the early eighties) But as my dad was an only child he is or so we thought the last of his line. I would be interested if you or your readers would like me to find out more about about him or his parents history.As this would enable me to find out more about my own past.

Do you know if the Northern Ireland branch of the Monteith family can be traced to Thomas Monteith of Glasgow Scotland? I have recently discovered that he is my 7th great-grandfather and am trying to trace the family even further. I do have the family tree back to him if that would be useful to you. Thank you.

All I know of my background is that My father James was born in Liverpool in 1923. His father was called Alexander and he came from Stirling. Sadly that is all the information that I have. I do not even know my Fathers Mothers name.

I am limited for time and therefore trips to record offices and the like are not a regular option. All of my Fathers Brothers and Sisters are deceased and I did not find out anything about his past whilst he was alive. How I wish I could turn back the clock and ask him!

Good Morning Allan,

May I introduce myself? I am Kathleen Cartwright Murray, a great-granddaughter of Margaret Monteith Kay, through her daughter Euphemia. (This is the Margaret who is person #3 on the Huron County page of the
Monteith website).

I was directed to you by Inez Tarbet. Inez and I "met" when our research intersected (Dr. John Kay and Catherine Miller -- parents-in-law of Margaret Monteith Kay). My notes tell me that I had logged the existence of the Monteith site but had not spent much time there ... perhaps due to the lack of new information regarding my branch of research. Mostly, however, I have devoted my energies to those branches of my family less well researched already. I am fortunate enough to have a copy of "Monteiths and Monteith Descendants (revised)" by J. Ernest Monteith which has served nicely as a roadmap for my research. If you are the Allan Monteith to whom "Cousin Ernie" dedicated his efforts, I am carrying coals to Newcastle by offering to share, but I do make the offer.

I would like to share some additional/corrective information for the website regarding Margaret Monteith and her family. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks for your time,

Kathleen

M. L. Monteith,

Found your website while searching for info on John Monteith. I am a postal history collector.

I have a postal card written to Hon. John Monteith, Supt. Public Schools, Jefferson City, MO sent by A.H. Edwards from St. Charles County, Missouri (State Representative for St. Charles County, MO). The postal card was the type sold in 1873 and 1874. Do you know if this John Monteith is in family tree?

Would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you.

My brother and I moved to England in the late seventies (he was 50 this year and i am 48) but the rest of the family is still in Northern Ireland around Belfast and Dungannon. We have no direct relations anymore as they have all passed on however the 2nd cousins are all in Tyrone which seems close to your lot! My 2nd cousin Eddie did a lot of work in the 60-70s and I will scan the family tree and send it on to you in the next wk or so.

I am based in Surrey England so I don't think there are any Monteiths down here except for my son Graham and daughter Shannon. We are descended from Thomas Campbell Monteith who married three times Rebecca Ross; Mary Jane Higginson (our lot), and Mary Jane Ross. Mary Jane Higginson had Marcus Higginson, Henry Edward and Alexander Shannon. My dad was Henry Edward, son of Alexander Shannon and Elizabeth Bankhead (hence my Bankhead middle names and my daughter's Shannon Elizabeth!

Thomas Campbell was born 1832 and died 1902 was from William Monteith and Sarah Campbell (married in1830

I am descended from William who married Leena Croucher in Parramatta 1880. Leena was the daughter of a convict and her parents were pioneers of the Parramatta and Hawkesbury areas. We have no information that indicates that William ever went to New Zealand. We do know that on his marriage certificate he gave his occupation as Auctioneer and on his Death Certificate he was a Mining Agent. He died in 1907 Brisbane where his parents resided and he had only been in Queensland 12 months.

Hello Malcolm,

Welcome to oz, sydney, and in paricular kirribilli!

Thanks for your response and the information. sydney george (natural) is just one of 3 stepchildren and 13 naturals. scott etc. are a couple of syds children.

Of the 16 only 3 are still alive. david, my father. myrtle, and trixie. i'll send you details of the subsequent issue over the next week or so. be warned, there's stacks. Every Menteith in australia is a direct decendant of ian and annie saffron.

my main are of enquiry is who was ian edin menteith. it seems he was not who he claimed. the attached is a summary of my investigations to date. 'diary entries' of date etc. are not my main interest. i want some meat on the bones.

there is no apparent connection between 'menteith' and 'monteith' in australia. connections from the past are extremely difficult to link without specific birth, death and marriage details. as we know, the name has many
variations. however the claim to the name comes from about 3 or 4 main disparate factors.

1. decendants from the earls of menteith. family names most common - graham or gilchrist. the earldom ceased in 1694.

2. decendants the earls of arran and knopdale. family name menteith, sir john menetet being the first earl. this peerage ceased in 1747.

3. from an era when surnames were uncommon, a name was usually trade or geographically related. men/mon/teith. worked for, lived in, belonged to the clan etc.

anyhowever, enough 'background'.

oral 'history' does seem to show a strong connection between ian and south africa. if you have any e.mail contacts, i'd appreciate them. particularly in the durban area. as you'll see from the attached, there's a sa
connection. most of the action in the zulu and boer wars occured in kwa zulu/natal province.

To: monteim@sentex.net

I came onto your "Monteiths of Huron County" when I was looking for the KAY side of my husband's family. My husband was not a direct line of the Kays but we have always been interested in all members of our connected families and have collected what we could for each one. I do know that his great grandfather (James Miller)'s sister, Catherine Miller and her husband John Kay, M.D. (Sr.,) were the in-laws of your Margaret Monteith.

John P. and Margaret had eight children altogether but four died...three at ages 6 and 7 and one at age 17. It was this John P. KAY, M.D. who volunteered in the American Civil War. He was a contract surgeon in the Union Army. Margaret and John first lived in Huron County and then in Bruce County. John P. and the four children are buried there in the McIntosh Cemetery on the Huron/Bruce Counties border. There is a headstone standing today with their inscriptions on it. Margaret is buried in the Mount Hope Cemetery in Lapeer, Lapeer County, Michigan. She

followed her sons to Michigan after the death of her husband John P.'s and the death of her 17 year old daughter. John P. died at age 44. This left Margaret with the three sons you have listed and her daughter Euphemia, youngest. These four children lived to adulthood.

Hello Laura,

I came across your message to Malcolm Monteith while browsing the Monteith Website, and was most interested to hear that you have a cousin with the same name as me in South Africa who has been doing some family tree
research. What particularly interested me is that although I've been living in Dunedin, New Zealand for some years, I was born and grew up in Pretoria, South Africa! I'd always intended to research the South African branch of the family but never got around to it. My own father's name was William Robert Monteith, born in Bloemfontein in 1902 (same place as Tolkien!) and his father's name was James Monteith, born in Tarkastad in the Eastern Cape Province. Further back than that is mystery - indeed, I'm totally ignorant as to when the Monteiths originally arrived in South Africa. I'd certainly be most interested in pursuing this and would be delighted to make contact with your cousin - or indeed to learn more of the family details which he sent to your dad.

For the record, I have 3 sons: Hugh John Duncan Monteith, born 18 June 1967 (a writer, currently living in Cape Town), Christopher William Monteith, born 15 March 1983 (studying Maths and Computer Science at the University of Otago) and Malcolm James Monteith, born 5 September 1984 (currently in his final year of high school here in Dunedin). I'm married to Vivienne Joyce Monteith (born Norman); my full name is Brian Duncan Monteith and I'm a professor at the dental school at the University of Otago.

I see that in a week from now, you're having one of those milestone birthdays! Many happy returns and have a good time! I hope to hear from you soon.

Brian Monteith

First let me say that you have a wonderful website. My interest in the Monteith name has to do with a T. W. Monteith that was a minister in the Sarnia, Ontario region back in the late 1800's. Do you have this individual in your tree? If so, do you know anything about his circuit or the church he was affiliated with?

Hello from down under,

My name is Warren Menteith, a grandson of Ian Edin (Hoyland) Menteith. On his wedding certificate (1900) and his ww1 military records he gives his birth as 1862 in Perth, Scotland. His parents are given as Edin Ian Menteith
and Sarah Woodreeves.

Exhaustive searches cannot substantiate this, nor can any of his 'history' prior to 1900. it is thought he arrived in Australia between 1890 and 1900.

He was known as 'Jack' or possibly 'Johnny'. There is also the possibility that Menteith was an assumed name, and that Hoyland was the real one.

As far as I am aware, all Menteiths in Australia are descendants of Ian. If anyone wants post 1900 details please contact me.

Similarly, if anyone outside the family has info on Woodreeves or Hoyland linking with Menteith, I would love to hear.

My name is Gillian Lyness - but my mother's maiden name is Monteith. Great site.

She is Blanche Monteith married to Norman Scott, daughter of Samuel Monteith & Jean Galbraith - married in 1925 and both died in the 60's.

Samuel's children are Blanche, Samuel, Howard, Pearl and Dorothy. All Live in NI except Dorothy who emigrated to London, Ontario in the 70's and still lives in that area of Canada. All are still alive with children and
grandchildren.

I have tried to see Samuel's [born 1894] relations on the Monteith site - namely his brothers & sisters - Robert, William, Tom, Maggie, Alexander, Archie, Charlie and Albert. Perhaps you can advise.

I understand that the Monteith family in Canada - Nelson and Norville put together a Monteith Family Book which traces the generations back to Robert Monteith in 1775.

Would appreciate any comments.

Hello Malcolm-

I must say that I am impressed at what you have undertaken. I myself was hoping at some time to attempt the same, but life gets in the way you know.

My name is Gregory Sean Monteith, son of Joseph William Monteith Jr, and Joyce Ellen Houser. My father grew up in Zanesville, Ohio, USA. Dad also has four sons from a previous marriage that still live back there (Joe, John, Mike, & Bruce Monteith). I currently reside in Southern California with my wife Denise, son Blake, and daughter Alexandra. I will try to find out more about my father's line, I only know that there is a somewhat extended "clan" of Monteiths in the eastern US. Growing up on the west coast, though, I have had very little contact with any of
them.

Thank you for the hard work at helping keep our history alive. Please feel free to contact me.

Greg Monteith

What a great web site! I am looking for a James Monteith who moved to Pittsburgh, PA from Phoenixville, PA. He was born around 1899 and has a wife Elizabeth, children James, Elizabeth and possibly June. If anyone has any info please contact me.

I thank you for what you have presented on the Website.

I was actually looking up some info, by chance, to avoid having to drive to my parent's and look it up in their book.

I have a new generation that you can add to the tree, if you would like.

I am David John Monteith, son of David Charles Monteith, grandson of George Glen Monteith, great-grandson of Samuel James Monteith etc., etc.

I married Jan Nicole Wakely (b. 29 Apr 67)

We have 3 children; Megan Nicole Monteith (b. 28 Mar 95)
Adam David Monteith (b. 10 Oct 96)
Nicholas Neill Monteith (b. 11 Mar 98)

I hope this helps 'fill out' our tree.

Thanks,

Dave Monteith

My name is Bonnie Keehl, wife of Dean Keehl who's grandmother is Hazel (Monteith) Dawdy. Her mother was Ethel Maud Julina Monteith 9th daughter to James Monteith. While in Mich. visiting Hazel she let us look at the Monteith Family book and we noticed my husbands name is not in it. This is because Dean's dad left him at 11 months and he didn't know that side of his family until 1980, the book being written in 1978. Dean's dad is in it as well as his 1/2 sister Terry, we were wondering if there will be, or has been an updated version of this book; and who could I contact to receive info on it. We have recently been trying to trace Dean's ancestry and would like to add our sons to it. Any information on us would be useful.

Thanks.
P.S. Hazel's name in the book is Schiller, she was also married to James Keehl and now to Hubert Dawdy, she was born out of wedlock so she carried the Monteith name.

My name is Bonnie Keehl, my husband Dean's grandmother is Hazel Dawdy nee(Monteith). She lives in Tecumseh Mi. and was born in Canada; her family originally came from Scotland. Hazel has a Monteith family book which tells some very interesting stories and traces the blood line back to the Earls of Monteith (the Stewart and the Graham lines) Hazel is 82 and is the oldest daughter of Ethel Maud Julina Monteith the 9th child of James Monteith. My husband has only known his grandma since 1980. His dad Jim Keehl ran off when he was less than 1 year old, nevertheless we are now very close to his mother Hazel and she really tells some neat stories, if you'd like to hear a few or discuss the book more please reply, my husband is also trying to find some family out there and is very curious and enthusiastic about his heritage. Hope to hear from you soon.

In doing a "Monteith" search, I came across your website and am delighted to know that it exists. Though my husband and I do not have a personal website, we are planning to do one in the near future and will
keep you apprised of our progress.

I would like to offer the following information now however.

My husband, Harry L. Monteith, is a professional magician who performs under the name of Harry Monti. We can be reached at our home email:
MontiMagic@aol.com.

For about six years we have been actively involved with a magic troupe that is comprised of mentally challenged individuals. In 1999-2000, Harry was the National President of the Society of American Magicians and during this term as President, we were instrumental in the Society passing a resolution supporting a program to teach magic in the school systems to special ed students. We have now developed a program which is in its infancy - in one classroom currently. To find out more about our program, you may visit the SAM website at http://specedmagic.tripod.com

As you will note from this website, where magic is concerned, Harry is known as Harry Monti. He is also a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Magic Circle in London (which elected
him to become a Member of the Inner Magic Circle of which there are never more than 200 members world wide.)

Best wishes for continued good luck with your Monteith pursuits. As I obtain more definite information on this branch of the family, I will forward it to you.

We are an Australian branch of the Monteith Family. The records we have date back to Alexander Monteith born in County of Stirling, Scotland 27/10/1810. He married Ann Stevens 29/01/1823 of Camberwell England in Australia on Sept 23 1839. They had 3 children William (08/09/1840), Emelia Caroline (24/04/1842) & Walter Alexander (1/06/1848).

My Husband, Lindsay's, family is descended from Walter Alexander. He married Emily Rowland in 1877 and they had 5 children: Walter Ernest, Annie Sophie, Sydney Rowland, Elsie May and Emily Maude.

Sydney Rowland married Jane Coulson in Queensland in 1907. They had 6 children: Harold Victor, Jean Gertrude, Vera, Eric (Jock), Ivan Frank and Allen Edmond.

Jock married Margaret MacLean and they also had 6 children: Barbara, Alison, Geoffrey Blyth, Peter Rowland, Elaine Janet and Lindsay Douglas.

Looking over your homepage and links, it is interesting to see how the same family names have cropped up over the years and over the continents. At present our son, Alan is doing a Student Exchange in Ashcroft, BC. He was surprised to find so many Monteiths and has sent us the homepage address.

If you would like other information please respond and we will send what we have. It will be interesting to see how we fit into the overall plan.

There is a lot of this branch's info. missing or wrong especially #5 Mary Monteith did marry Thomas Taylor Leckie but on Sept. 4, 1904 - that is the day my father Thomas Monteith Lecke was born....he passed away on Dec. 15, 1986.

Donna (Leckie) MacLaren is the daughter of Monty Leckie not Mary & Tom Leckie. I have a lot of other dates and married names for this branch if you are interested in updating or correcting your information. All of this information is available in obits from the 1800's thro to 1990 which I have. Several of this branch are buried at Baird's Cemetery - north west of Brucefield, Ontario (about 6 miles off Hwy 21 on a township road). When the weather is nicer I intend to take a trip out and see if any of the tombstones have the maiden names or original "home countries" of spouses etc. listed. Would you be interested in receiving a copy of my findings?

Perhaps I have unable to find my branch of the Monteith family - from the Kippen area of Huron County. If this is so I apologize.. and perhaps you could tell me how to find them in your Homepage. I have obits regarding this branch and have worked out as much of the relationships and names as I can remember. Several of this branch of the family are buried at Baird's cemetery which is north east of Varna, Ontario or north west of Brucefield. Brucefield and Kippen are both on Hwy 21 north of London, Ontario.

I would appreciate it if you could let me know if and where they are located - or if you would be interested in including a HURON COUNTY section - I believe there are also Monteith descendants in the Exeter area of Huron County.

My great-great grandfather was John Monteith, b. circa 1833-1836 in the province of Quebec. He married
Catherine Dunsmore (Densmore) on 14 December 1855 at St. James Anglican Church in Stratford, Ontario. (His parents were William Monteith and Eliza.) His first 4 children were baptized at the same church. According to the 1871 census, they resided in N. Perth County and were of Irish descent. Do you have any idea if they are somehow related to your branch of the Monteiths? I can't seem to make the connection. I would appreciate any information on this family. Thank you.

Malcolm,

I'm surprised you don't have any information on the Henry Monteith Family of the St John Valley. Here is a partial register report showing some of the information. Henry came to Canada in the 1860's, a bit later than those shown on your website. Could he be from the same root family?

I would appreciate it if you could look at this information and provide some feedback.

Sincerely,

A couple of years ago I "spoke" to you by e-mail regarding the Monteiths of the the Kippen are - I have since retired from the Huron County B/E and not had access to a computer. At that time I offered to send you "obits" from Clinton area papers which my grandfather had saved. I did this but I sent them to an address in London, Ontario where I thought you lived at the time. I wondered if you ever received them as I do not see a HURON county connection listed on your website. If you didn't receive them and would like copies please forward me your home address...we do not have scanner and have only this week received a made up computer from my son....we don't even have a printer yet and have many things to learn about getting around on a computer. Hopefully you can get back to me - if you wish by computer -

My grandmother was a Monteith from Kippen, Ontario - she married a Leckie - from Goderich and the Leckie family - my grandparents and father moved to London around 1923. My father's name was Thomas Monteith Leckie and he was always called Monty or Monteith.
