  • Notes 
    • Family #67.
      Andrew Keilor b.1839, the youngest son of William/Agnes McBean, married Jane McKay in 1867. The ‘Keilor’ middle name is a mystery, unless explained by the fact that a baby called Alison Jane Peter Keilor [daughter of Thomas Keilor and Elisabeth Pullar] was christened alongside Andrew. Andrew was a boilermaker, working first in Methil, then in Glasgow, and finally in Burntisland, Fife, where he died probably in 1880, since in the 1881 census Jane was a widow. They had seven children, four girls and three boys: Jane b.1867, Agnes 1869 (m. Andrew Porteous, d. in Australia, 1941), Annabella McKay 1872, d.inf., William 1874, Annabella 1976, d.1879, John 1879, Andrew 1880 (m. Jessie Stirling). Jane later married Richard Wilson and had another child, Catherine b.1887. In 1901 they lived at 11 Victoria Road, Buckhaven.
      The younger Andrew b.1880, also with the Keillor middle name (but now with a double l, probably following the Dundee marmalade maker), was a miner, and married Jessie Stirling in 1913. Tragically, he was killed in action in France in 1915, a few months after the birth of their son, another Andrew Keillor, later a steelworker. He married Elizabeth Allan in 1944; and their daughter, Aileen Jane Dunsire Mortimer, is my informant.
      A problem rises from a death in the Statutory Register Index, of Agnes Sturrock, 22 June 1901, at Simpson Square, Buckhaven. Said to be married or formerly married to John Sturrock, coalminer. Father Andrew Dunsire, boilermaker (deceased); mother Jane Dunsire m.s. MacKay.
