We have been able to trace our family line back to a James McQueen, born 1773 in Girvan in the County of Ayrshire, Scotland. He served in the Caithness Highlanders and later in the Cameron Highlanders (The 49th Foot Regiment). He was killed at Waterloo in 1815, weeks before the birth of his second son (named James, after his father), from whom our family descends. Other family names are listed below.

We would be delighted to hear from anyone else undertaking similar research. Please mail us, with your interest or queries, or just to swap views.
