This is the Fleming , Bennett, Mooney , Brannigan ,McIlroy & Stewart family 
tree it is 
here to pay homage to all who have gone before us , as without any of the 
named people I or my kin would not be here today.My family hail from Glasgow 
but my ancestors were Printers & Merchants of Edinburgh the earliest I have is 
William 1769-1835 and 5 of his sons all becoming printers with numerous 
nephews & nieces Grandsons Great Grandsons and Granddaughters in the name of 
Frances Amy Fleming born 1891 died in 1948 at the young age of 57 being 
employed as a Compositor in the Male dominated world of the Printing in the 
early 20th Century,indeed my Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandad David Fleming(the 
only break in the William Line)had a brother named Leslie Fleming who wrote a 
short book when he was an Octogenerian in 1893 of his recollections of the 
bygone days of the Printers of Edinburgh in which he describes the beginnings 
of the Stereotypers of which his family and indeed my own had been Dominant , 
the line finally stopped a few generations back at my own 
Great-Great-Great-Grandfather William Fleming 1825-1881 his son went on to be 
an Iron Dresser in the Iron Foundries of Possilpark were my family were born & 
bred . The Bennett family from my maternal side is a proud and patriotic one 
in as much as the male line has been involved with the armed forces since 
William Bennett 1830 through his sons and grandsons down to the latest George 
Bennett serving his country , not too mention my nephew William McGuigan a Lance
corporal in the Royal Highland Fusiliers. My own Great Grandad sacrificed his 
life in WW1 and my grandad Henry Bennett in WW2.Both the Fleming's and Bennett 
families have indeed served this country in all the armed forces my own 
Grandad served with the Ground crews of the R.A.F, my Grandad Bennett lost his 
life supplying the country in the merchant Navy,and various cousins and 
branches of this my extended family have served it well. I hope I haven't left 
anyone out and will strive to keep it as up to date as I can , I have met 
people from all over the globe in my search for Fleming's with a distant 
cousin Elizabeth Fleming who's father was William Fleming grandson of David 
Bell Fleming to Alexandra Kowalski who was the Great-Great-Grandaughter of 
Leslie Fleming the man who wrote the book , to all the branches of this tree I 
am eternally proud to be their Kin.
