The people talking on the McBlain/McBlane topic.
I think you are talking about my great grandmother. Hannah (nee ) McBlain/McCulloch.
I will have to check to be sure, but everything fits.

To the woman who's father was George McBlain. I think he may have been my grandmothers brother.
My nana is called Andrina (Dixie) also Winifred (ant Nan) I think they may be your fathers sisters.

I have a few cousins with the surname Donaldson aswell.

I have just discovered this thread at 4am by complete chance. So this will need to be verified. However it all seems to add up. I could probbaly answer a lot of questions in regards to the person trying to complete the family tree.

Hope you guys still check this ☺
Hi there my name is Ivan mcblain and the people that you are speaking about are my great grandparents also

I'm sure there are a good few 'McBlaine's or 'McBlane's dotted around Stevenston.

Also remember a trio of McBlain/McBlane brothers who hailed from Ardrossan. George, Robert and Murray. They were all quite talented musically.
Here's Murray in humorous mode with wee Mary at the Royal Seabank Hotel in Blackpool a few years ago. And I think even he himself would admit that Mary completely steals the show here.

And Murray in a more recent and serious mood. I believe as well as performing in places like Blackpool and many other venues, he also provided excellent entertainment on various Cruise ships etc.

George owned 'The Caledonian (Caley) Bar' in Playa De Las Americas in Tenerife for a good few of years, but now has the 'The Ibrox Bar' there.
He sings and is also a dab hand on the keyboard.

Robert was very good on Drums and I'm sure all three used to perform together as kids.

Anne, Do you have a John Clark McBlain in your tree ?.....born in 1939, think he was killed in a motor accident, at Clydebank, in 1958....his father was, I think, also John Clark McBlain (1910-1962) and was from the Ardrossan area.......Del.

The John McBlain that we have in our tree was the son of David McBlain and Hannah McCulloch, he married Sarah Donaldson Foster McDowell Clarke, trying to find out as much as possible about her, we THINK that she died about 1951/52......Del.

Gerry,

Have you done a McBLAIN word search on this site yet? There are forty or so references.

They also feature amongst the intimations from 1860 onwards on the following link, membership of which is free -

In my World War 1 Casualties list, I have a Samuel McBlane who was born in Kilwinning but was resident in Auchinleck when he enlisted in Cumnock. He was killed in action on Monday, April 23, 1917 and is listed as being the husband of Janet Faddes McBlane of 88 Damconner, Auchinleck. There is also a John McBlain on the Stevenston First World War memorial list but no further details are available.

Sweet Caroline,

Re your reference to Auchinleck, the Scottish Mining Website has a William McBlain, aged 52, succumbing on 3 December 1883 to injuries sustained earlier in a fire damp accident in Ballochmyle Colliery, Auchinleck.
