Great to hear from you,

I would believe this should be a connection given the same small town, and the simlarites in names.
Although  I haven't done a lot of research on descendants into the 1800s, as James born 1773 would be my 5x Great grandfather he moved to Quebec Canada so my line ends in Scotland ways back.

With some more research we should be able to link the families together along the line I would think.
Your information is what I am seeking though more families from this area, would be great to get more info from you or your family member who is researching this line.

took a look into the Blackburns you were seeking
I found William was born Ireland that fact makes the connection not as direct as I thought, it will need more research.

Hi Cavers

thanks for looking into this one again - but since we last communicated
another source has found different parents for the other Alexander Blackburn
b.1818 we were considering ..

Father: John Blackburn b.abt 1777
Mother: Ann Wallace
married 1799 Renfrew

and they've kinda established it is HE who is the husband of Jean Betty MacIntosh and father of Margaret b.1858

 :o   umm does that make sense?

LOL
Cheers and best regards
