Dear OCOld Steam Driven wagon of Mackie & Gladstone
Hi,
Thanks for your message, BT have only just managed to connect me to Broadband so I am very new to this and didn't know the protocol! I agree that direct contact would be much easier and my email is simon@gallup.freeserve.co.uk
Look forward to hearing from you;
Dear Simon (Gladstone?),
I am fascinated by your history forum..and i hope you are willing to help me? I am writing a book about James Mackie, a former mp for Kirkcudbright,from 1857-1867, around the time of the ex PM William Gladstone.
My book is about the families' contribution to society generally, and includes the family drinks business. I really want to source a photo which can show Gladstone and Mackie together.
I know Gladstones and Mackies were related. There is also a former mayor of Manchester, Ivie Mackie, who had business links with Gladstones.
Can you get in touch with the family tree you mentioned?
Also, i happen to have come across, through my work, a descendent of Gladstone, called Olivia Inge, who is now married and runs a health clinic. Any chance of info to see how they are linked.
I'd be happy to chat and hope you can help. i'm 02075852345,
many thanks, Sam Parkhouse.
I have a Gladstone family tree written, I guess, in the late C19. It starts with John Gladstone and Elizabeth Muir and shows your John who died in 1835. I am descended from Thomas, John's youngest brother, and would love to hear what you know about the origins of the Gladstone family.
Thanks, SWG.

Hi,
I saw your post on the MacKie and Gladstone forum. Could you please check out my posts there? You will then understand why I have an interest in yours...Thanks, MJH
Hi Thanks, also the email he gave for himself desn't seem to work, is there a more recent one?Samhistory
I am afraid that MJH is now listed as a guest, so is no longer a member of the forum. It is possible, of course, that he might still visit on occasion, but unless he does he will not see your message
Hi. Only I think 3-4 photos which can be forwarded to you via the forum. I am away next week but will sort something out after. No other memorabilia just handed down info from my family. Regards OvertonmanHello Overton, thanks, i was aware of the off-licence business run by Gladstones & Ivie Mackie, brother of James, who i'm writing a book about. Do you have your grandmother's albums?or any other memorabilia. i'd love to talk coz i'm trying to trace material linking the two families; i'm on 02075852345, Sam Parkhouse
