The fourth Coubrough/Cowbrough International Reunion, which took place 3 -5 August 2007,  in the city of Troy, Michigan, USA, was another success. We had just as much fun as at the first three reunions (August 2001, April  2003, and  August 2005). Come on by and have a look.

The family information for William Coubrach and Christian Dinn (or Dunn) has been updated at last. We have found spouses for all of William and Christian's known children, and even grandchildren, with spouses, for some of them. William and Christian's parents, however, remain a mystery.

Thanks to Merle Whipple, Mary Livingston Fyfe's husband, Malcolm Coubrough, is now connected to the correct family at last. I had previously thought him to be the Malcolm Coubrough who had married Jessie Russell and moved to the USA. Mary's husband, Malcolm Cameron Coubrough, was the daughter of Malcolm C & Mary Cameron. Jessie's husband, Malcolm Andrew Coubrough, was the youngest son of John Coubrough and Catherine Andrew. Mary's husband and Jessie's husband were second cousins, their paternal grandfathers both being sons of James C & Jean Muir. Can't imagine how they got confused! 

Family information for John Coubrough & Christian Dinn's family has been updated, including three more children, some with spouses, for John and Christian's son William, who married Annie Souter. Also, spouses for two more daughters of George Coubrough & Sarah Gibson: Jane m. Peter Strang and Janet m. Colin Moir. You can find them all on the Ellrig family tree (John C & Helen Stevenson).

There are still quite a few people in my mystery lists. If you know who they are, please don't be shy! Some were in the census records and are listed here under Mystery People Cenus Strays. Quite a few other mysterious folks were found in the indexes to the Statutory Registers of Births, Marriages, and Deaths. The people from the register indexes were born and married 1875 to 1901, or died 1875-1926. If you recognise anyone in these lists, we'd sure like to hear from you. 

Thanks to Kathy Wallace, we have one less person in the Mystery list. The 1901 census listed a Margaret Coubrough, aged 30 years, living at Bowhouse Farm. Kathy says Margaret was the natural daughter of Catherine Campbell, who later married John Coubrough. Catherine
C.R. Coubrough is also listed at the address as a domestic servant. Margaret was born January 6, 1871, at Ramoyle, Dunblane. Her father's name has not yet been confirmed, but he was a gamekeeper at Edgehill House, in Logie. Catherine Campbell worked there as a domestic servant, and sought paternity through the courts, February 18, 1872. Catherine married John Coubrough June 7, 1878, and they had at least five children.
