Dear Maria,
Audrey Carnegie was my mother. The only information I have on the Carnegie family, comes from the Harris book. I would love to hear from you. I am not sure if Basil is still alive. He was in 2006. Murray and Bill are still in the Saskatoon area I believe.

ccow0931 — 2012-03-18 11:36:10Z

I am seeking information on the Carnegie family of Ballarat too. Specifically George Carnegie b. 1827 in Montrose Scotland. He married Jean Jane Alexander before leaving Scotland. They arrived here on the Walcousta from Glasgow in 1853 and settled in Ballarat, where with Jane's father John Alexander, they built their home Montrose Cottage.
I only have one David Carnegie in my tree. He was born in Ballarat in 1863, to George and Jane (above).
Is this the family you are seeking?

I know that there are a few living direct descendants left, and I know this because I went to school with one of them. Her name is Courtney Adele Evans and she is the daughter of Pamela Finlay Morrison Mitchell. Great girl. She also has a brother, Dylan Evans. Those are the few true and direct descendants there are left. She always wore her Grandmother Margaret Miller Carnegie's bracelet.

Mary Jane Carnegie (1845-1872) - Who is she?

irvins304 — 2011-11-06 13:31:52Z

She married Henry Ellinger on 12/24/1863 and started a family in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. She and Henry had four daughters before she died at the young age of 28.

I do not know when Mary Jane arrived in Cumberland County or from whence she came. I do not know with any certainty the names of her parents, though the name William Carnegie was penciled in on a family tree drawn by my aunt many years ago.

Any tips, hint, or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi from Canada

This is also my gr-gr grandfather. He was married to Jane Shand Hebenton. Their son David was my gr-grandfather. David married Janet Keay Langlands and their daughter IsaBella Bruce Carnegie (Married Neil Duncan MacDonald) was my Grandmother. Their daughter Margaret Louise MacDonald is my Mother. Out of their 8 children only my mother and her brother George are still alive. I would love to hear from you and exchange Carnegie info. Thanks Elaine

Your Carnegie do match with my Carnegie family. I am the gr-grandaughter of David Carnegie and Jessie Keay Langlands
David and Jessie (Janet) were my Grandmother IsaBella Bruce Carnegie's parents. My Grandmother married Neil Duncan MacDonald and lived in Vancouver Canada when they passed away.
I show David's brother as James Carnegie who married Jessie Matheson Smith, Isabel Married her 1st cousin David Small Bruce, and Margaret married Thomas Raulston.
If you can send me any info maybe I can fill in some of the gaps in my family Carnegie tree. And any info I have about the Canadian side of the family I would love to share with you. Thank You so much. Elaine

Very sorry, thought I had replied to your post long ago. Information we have for George CARNEGIE is he was b. c1827 at Ballarat. m. Jane Dunn ALEXANDER.
George was the son of George CARNEGIE and Rachel WILLIAMS.
Haven't gone into this line. Interest was in Ann Peary Alexander CARNEGIE who married Archibald McDONALD.
Hope this is still of interest to you. Lyn and Trevor.

Re: Carnegie in Ballarat, Australia

lyntrevor — 2010-12-02 12:17:49Z

Just a bit more about Ann Peary Alexander CARNEGIE. At least what we have. If you haven't done so, check the World War 1 digital service records and you will find some interesting stuff on her son John McDonald, killed at Gallipoli.
Ann Peary Alexander CARNEGIE.
b. c 1856 at Ballarat, Victoria.
m. Archibald McDonald 7 Oct 1879 at Terrible Gully near Ballarat.

Re: Robert Woodburn CARNEGIE, b. Glasgow abt 1878

Hi Jilly,
Robert and Janet are my wife's great-grandparents. My wife, Alison (nee Porter) is the daughter of Dorothy Flora Carnegie; who is the daughter of Matthew Kiddie Carnegie. Matthew is one of six children, that I know of (and some details are unconfirmed), of Robert and Janet.
I have names for Robert's parents and paternal grandparents, but nothing on Janet's side.
Anything you can add would be of great interest - particularly to my mother-in-law, Dorothy.
My direct address is "ant at ant hyphen davey (followed by) dot com".

Many thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Ant

I look forward to heraing from you again.

Re: Carnegie From Jamaica

yazsay — 2010-07-18 01:11:14Z

Aunt Vida is actually my second cousin, as is your father, Joe and Rachel. Amos, sr was my great uncle, brother of my grand mother Rachel Elizabeth Carnegie. Rachel E. and Charles Benjamin had two daughters: Teola (d.2000) and Elfreida (d.2006). I am the third of five children of Teola. I lived ten years at 135-09 37th Ave/Prince Street in Flushing and briefly in the Corona house with my Aunt Freida, where Uncle Amos and Aunt Susie once lived. I knew both of them from my youth.
Your father would know of my mother and her sister. They all grew up together, and I believe they once lived together in the 37th Ave (at Prince Street).
I know Vida best, and last saw her in DC at Dennis's memorial (2003). I now live in the Sierra mountains of California. I have two sons: Hakim (41) and Taufiq (38) and one grandchild(17).

peace and blessings

I also heard from my grandmother that her grandfather was from Scotland married to a Jamaican African woman. My grandmother was Rachel Carnegie, sister to Mattie, Thomas, Amos, Georgetta, and others. She was born in Manchester, jamaica, about 1886.

Hi Cathy,

Your 'Margerate' wouldn't be by chance as below?

Margaret Alexader Moncur CARNEGIE b. May 1854 in Montrose, Angus, Scotland? Parents: Alexander CARNEGIE m. Jan Shand HABENTON - 7/10/1842 in Brechin, Scotland. Siblings would be:
James 1845 - 1908 m.Jesslie SMITH
Isobel 1850 - 1928 m. David BRUCE
David?
Margaret 1856 - ?
Andrew - 1859 - ?

If so, I can link you back to Scotland in the 1600's if you'd like, including a rather large family in NZ :)

Re: Carnegies from brechin scotland to NZ

I'm 6 generations from Alexander CARNEGIE of Brechin, Scotland 1820, and follow the James & Jessie CARNEGIE line to NZ, then to their eldest son Alexander (who married Catherine JUNKER in 1903 Westport, NZ), and their eldest Daughter, Lulu Jean is my Great Grandmother.

All of the names in your post ring true for my lines, so would love to find out more.

Alexander Carnegie of Balnamoon

Forfarian — 2010-01-10 18:56:55Z

On 14 June 1725 Alexander Carnegie of Balnamoon executed a deed in favour of George Wyllie, James Wyllie, Andrew Wyllie and David Wyllie. The last of these, David, died in 1757. I believe that they were all brothers, the sons of David Wyllie, tenant in Tillyarblet, parish of Lethnot and Navar, Angus, Scotland.

I believe this is the Alexander Carnegie who married Margaret Graham in 1711.

Does anyone have any idea why Alexander Carnegie would have given money to these Wyllies?
