Family History
This page is a tribute to Murdo and Mary's forebears. As far as we know, they were
all ordinary folk. Some Scottish lines have been traced back to about 1800, but Irish, Welsh
and English ancestors have proved more difficult. Click on any thumbnail for a larger
version.

Murdo's father, ALEXANDER YOUNG (1890-1956).
Alex served in WWI. His family came from Berwickshire, in the Scottish Borders. Other
family names: Swinton, Johnstone. |
 |
Murdo's mother, JOHAN SUTHERLAND
(1895-1982). Johan was born in Scullomie, Sutherland, northern Scotland. Other names: Mackay, Macintosh. Nearly everyone in Sutherland is named
Sutherland or Mackay! But if you have the word Scullomie in
your family tree, I'd love to hear from you. |

Mary's father, JOHN aka JACK LEWIS (1897-1949), was
born in Glasgow, and lost both legs in WWI. John's father was Welsh, his mother was Irish.
Other names: Mather, Banks, Porter. |

John's first wife, ELSPETH MITCHELL GRAY BEATSON (1894-1931) aka Alice,
was born in Fife. There is a photo of Alice on my Jack Lewis page. Other names: Mitchell,
Gray, Lawrie, Morton. |

Mary's mother, HANNAH ABIGAIL HOGGARTH (1909-1992), John's second wife. Hannah
was born in North Yorkshire. This family tree has been well researched - see my cousin,
Bryan Hoggarth's site. All the
Hog(g)arths keep in touch at The Hogarth Family Site.
Other names: Stephenson, Clubley. |
 |
Mary's grandmother, CHARLOTTE ANNIE CLUBLEY (1882-1942), Charlotte Annie was born in
Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire. I know a little about this family - see attached page. Do you have a Clubley in your family
tree? |

Mary's great-grandmother, MARY STEPHENSON (1850-1894), first wife of Allin Hoggarth.
Mary Stephenson married at age 30. She died fourteen years later, leaving
seven young children. More about Mary Stephenson on my cousin
Bryan Hoggarth's site. |
