14/07/2019 - New Ballantyne pages

I have added some new material on my Ballantyne ancestors to this website. This follows the completion of a fair bit of research that I mentioned in previous blogs: My tangled Ballantynes and The Ballantyne Roadblock.

The Ballantyne Forebears page provides information about the origin of the surname; some of the earliest known Ballantyne people; Ballantyne heraldry; and links to pages for notable Ballantyne ancestors.

The Ballantyne biographies page provides links to seven new biographies for each of the following notable Ballantyne ancestors:

• Thomas Ballantyne I – (1770-)
• Andrew Ballantyne
• William Ballantyne
• Thomas Ballantyne II – (1799-1887)
• Thomas Ballantyne III – (1826-1873)
• Christina Ballantyne
• Margaret Scott Ballantyne
