March 26th

We have one event for March 26th - the birth of William Fisken in 1870.  I've already written about William - his death was reported back on January 28.  He is the fellow who died in the Gartloch Asylum in Glasgow.  He is your 1st cousin 3x removed.  Your closest common ancestor is your 3x great grandfather, Peter Fisken.

But today we celebrate his birth!  He was born in the village of Luss - the 6th of 7 children of sawyer Alexander Fisken who was originally from Muthill in Perthshire and Mary Ann Watt.  His mum died when Alexander was only two.  His father remarried the following year and over the next few years William gained another five siblings!
