Ada was my step great granmother. I know she was a relative of John Makintosh of Toffos fame but not sure what her connection was to him.any help appriciated. She was the second wife of my great grand father James Maclaurin of Sheffield.

I'm guessing you might have done a little research into Mackintosh confectionery already?

Hello Helen and welcome to the Community boards.



(I'll let Helen know how to find her replies) :-)

Dear all who have replied,
thank so much, it was fasinating and helpful.
I have been work on my family tree for sometime and had got to some dead ends.
This is the first time a I have used the message board as I am not very good with computers and was not sure how it worked.
I will certainly be using it from now on.
Please have patience with me if I don't get it right; I seem to have sent a message to myself about another relative! :-) P.S my name is Helen.
