Dear Bruce
I am a descendant of George Monteith who married Hannah Mort, probably in Glasgow, in 1864.One of their daughters was also named Hannah.So far as I know, I am the first of their descendants to come to Australia, but I would be glad to know if you have roots information that might show a connection with your folks.
I think however that 'Monteath' would not be actually wrong, since even today Scots name spelling remains fluid:try e.g. Alistair, Alasdair etc (all pronounced identically - roll the 'l' and the 't/d' will sort itself out).
