The mystery of the middle name McQueen that some of you have been helping me with.
I was wondering where the middle name McQueen came from when my rellie William Broadfoot named his daughter Elisabeth McQueen Broadfoot.
Now William was the commander of the Countess of Galloway steam boat.
After finding a possible marriage between a Dunbar Broadfoot to a Hugh McQueen in 1816, i went on the search of a link between Dunbar and my Broadfoot's, i came across a memorial in Whithorn Scotland for the said Hugh McQueen and Dunbar which stated that Hugh died at sea in 1840 and dunbar died in 1880.
I then went on Scotlands People and viewed her death which stated her parents were Francis Broadfoot and Dunbar which led me nowhere.
I then searched again for a will left by Hugh McQueen, there were five Hugh's and i found the said Hugh who died in 1840.
But underneath was another Hugh McQueen that caught my eye because he was also Commander of the Countess of Galloway steam boat and he had died in 1856 orf atleast that was when the will was completed.
What are the odds that by shere coincidense the first Hugh wasnt the guy but the next Hugh looks to be the correct one
Any added thoughts would be great
