Hi,

I'd forgotten all about this list until the first e-mail in ages come through today.

I'm interested in finding anyone that has links into the Neilson family that I'm working on. Some indicators that could help are:

- Running through the family a lot of the names have BEAUMONT or MONTGOMERIE as a middle name or sometimes hyphenated with the surname, e.g. "MONTGOMERIE-NEILSON".

- A few key people in the family that may also help someone recognized a link are James Beaumont NEILSON (Manager of the Glasgow Gasworks, Inventor of the Blast Furnace and lived in Glasgow then Kirkcudbright ), John NEILSON one of the founders of Summerlee Iron Works and Walter Montgomerie NEILSON of Neilson & Reid & Co, Hydepark Springburn.

Any links?

Regards
