Anything Penman

[Penman]

I am looking for anything Penman, especially in Scotland and/or related to the clan/family line. So, if you have any info, shout-outs, or anything that you could pass along, I would greatly appreciate it. I can share any genealogical info like names, dates, etc. I go date back to about 1704. Thank you!

I have a David Penman Cairns (b.11 January 1873 Dunfermline Fife)in my family. He is the son of david Cairns and Margaret Mitchell. Not sure if he is related to your Penman's.

[Penman]

The given name David does seem to run in my family. There are some branches of my tree that disappear, he may be a son of one of my female ancestors. Do you have a Helen, Janet, Sarah, Minta or Agnes Penman in your line?

My David had the middle name of Penman, I'm not sure how the naming of children went, I think they were named after one of their grandmothers maiden name. (something like that) I haven't come across a surname of Penman in my family yet.

[Penman]

Thank you for your response. You're right about the middle name though, it probably was a mother, grandmother, or aunt. I have found that to be true of mine. If it helps in your search, many Penmans are from Dunfermline, Fife. Others may be from Selkirk. I haven't found any in the highlands. Good luck!
