Hi need to see if Alexander and Janet(t) Clark(e) Wylie were the parents of Andrew Wylie, b. 8/30/1801-4 ?
Andrew married Agnes Pollock b.7/15/1800, christened in Stewarton Ayr. 7/21/were her parents James and Agnes Gilmour, Pollock?
Andrew and Agnes Pollock, Wylie married in Stewarton Church of Scotland . 21/Feb/1826 He was a farm servant from Dunlop.
First child was Alexander b.8.Oct/1826 born Stewarton Ayr.
2nd child Agnes19/Jun/1829.
there should be 3-4 more kids I can't find.
Andrew and Agnes immigrated to Albion Mines now Stellarton Nova Scotia, Canada
They had one more son born there William.
I would love to find the immigration date?
I have sibling's that I think is Agnes Pollock and of Andrew Wylie but not real sure same family.
I have been to Andrew and Agnes headstone in Nova Scotia the reading says born Neilson Parish Scotland. They have a Grace named as daughter single age 20. I wondered why I can't find her birth in Scotland. I think they had 3 sons Alex the only for sure and 2 girls Agnes and could it be Grace? I have Andrews death 1875

There's a marriage for an Andrew Pollock Wylie born 1871 in Stellarton: -

If it's any help, I have a coal mining ancestor from Ayrshire who migrated to Pictou, Nova Scotia in about 1832, but returned to Ayrshire a few years later. From the reading about it I've done, the late 1820s to early 1830s would be the most likely timing for your ancestor's migration, as there seems to have been a recruitment drive around then for coal miners.
Your Andrew Wylie does seem to be the one born 30 August 1804 at Neilston, Refrewshire to Alexander Wylie and Janet Clark. As Andrew named his eldest son Alexander then it is highly likely, as that would be the case if they'd followed the Scottish naming pattern.
There was coal mining at Neilston. Coal miners often moved around from mine to mine, so a move to Ayrshire some time after the birth of Andrew would fit with being a coal mining family.
From the records on FamilySearch it would seem Alexander Wylie and Janet Clark had a large family. Could be worthwhile tracking their children to see if any others migrated to Nova Scotia.

The only births showing in Scotland, to parents named Andrew Wylie or Wyllie, and agnes Pollock, in that timeframe are as follows
Alexander Wylie, born 8/Oct/1826. Stewarton, Ayrshire,
Agnes Wylie, born 30/June/1829. Neilston, Renfrewshire,
Janet Wyllie, born 26/June/1831. Kilmarnock, Ayrshire,
Mary Wyllie, born 27/Oct/1837. Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.
Not all births in Scotland, prior to 1855. were registered or were indeed required to be registered, many births that were registered did not survive the course of time.
The three places you mention in your post ie Neilston, Dunlop, and Stewarton, are close to each other,
The marriage of Andrew Wylie, and Agnes Pollock, was noted in both Dunlop, and Stewarton, on the same date 21/Feb/1826. meaning that Andrew, and Agnes, were resident in those places at that time not neccesary born there, ie Andrew, perhaps Dunlop, and Agnes, perhaps Stewarton.
If you look at the order of the four births above ie first born etc, then those first three would fit the Scottish naming system for the period, ie Alexander, first born named after Andrew's, father from Neilston, second born Agnes, named after Agnes's, mother Agnes Gilmour, and third born Janet, named after Andrew's, mother Janet Clark.
Another possible clue Agnes Wylie, born 1829, was born in Neilston, just possible Andrew, and Agnes Pollock, were visiting Andrew's, parents at the time of birth.
There may also be other births to Andrew, and Agnes, that did not survive the test of time.
The above family do not appear on the 1841 census for Scotland, so a likely departure date would be sometime between 1837, and early 1841.
Regards,
Jonn.

Thank you for the quick reply. It was a surprise to see girls but I have info that matches Andrew son of Alexander and Agnes right dates. I thought there might be a couple more boy's and as you say there could be just not found at this point. Alexander and Janet I wonder did they immigrate as well? He was a miner as was son Andrew and Andrew's son William. I also think you are right about immigration around that time as William was born 1843-44. Also in Andrew's obituary it said yet another son Andrew that ended up in Pennsylvania USA. I can't find him. I'm looking for a cousin his dad died when he was only a couple month's old. His mom is very sick and she's happy I started him on his family tree of Wylie's. I'm so glad you helped . thank you,Barbara

Hi no I didn't have this piece. It was interesting that Alexander was a miner as well as his son Andrew and Andrew's son William. I remember dad's brother terrified to go into the pit's there were many lost their lives. It was wonderful when they started strip mining. thanks it does look like Alexander and Janet. I believe Hugh was a brother to Andrew as I have a Hugh married to ha ha will dig for it again tomorrow it's hiding :)
Oh I wonder if this Robert could be another son? the ROBERT Wylie Chr 09 March 1823, Neilston, Renfrew (Birth 25 Feb 1823)
Parents Alexander WYLIE and Jean CLARKE
What is (F/S) ?
-
Hi,
F/S or F/S.Org is my abbreviation of Familysearch.Org
And yes it looks like Robert 1823 was another Son of Alexander/Janet an she is just down as Jean on his Chrsitening.
He also appears on the 1841 Census with them.
Alexander WYLLIE Married Janet CLARK, 17 Jan 1795, Neilson, Renfrew
(F/S.Org)
You wondered if Alexander/Janet may have emigrated as well. They are still in Dunlop on 1841.
Given their ages I would think maybe not.
Have now found a Christening that I lost before;
Alexander WYLLIE
Scotland, Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950
christening: 29 November 1795 NEILSTON, RENFREW, SCOTLAND

christening: 29 November 1795 NEILSTON, RENFREW, SCOTLAND

ROBERT Wylie Chr 09 March 1823,
If Robert was first born then Alexander's Church of Scotland record is wrong it says Alex 1st Agnes the 2nd.
What do you think. It looks good but maybe Janet in this Alex was married to another woman called JeanClark?
-
Ok in my notes I see a 1861 census an Alexander and Janet he was born abt 1807 I Galston Ayrshire, Larnkshire I'm certain this is not my family.
1881 census Alexander and Jean he born 1826 same as mine but can't be him as mine married a Margaret McKay in Nova Scotia Canada.
1901 census Alexander and Janet born about 1848 not mine by date but in right place Stewarton, Ayr. I wonder a next generation?
-
Hi thank you Miriam he is the son of William and Margaret McKenzie Wylie. William was so far the only child of Andrew and Agnes Pollock Wylie (hence his middle name ) William born in Albion Mines (Stellarton now ) his family I have. He had a son Arthur who immigrated to go to Lincoln collage and he married a Laura Belle Brown he had no kids. Buried in Elwood cemetery I just got a picture of he and Laura's head stone. thanks for your reply. It's the Scotland side I can't complete. Arthur was published for his biography and he said hid grandfather Andrew and Agnes Pollock Wylie immigrated with 5 kids but another obituary said Andrew had up to 7-8 kids. So now think the first 4 are good match Scotland side. William and his dad Andrew were baker's and miners which was likely why he immigrated they recruited from the UK.I just type all of Agnes Pollock her dad James and mom Agnes Gilmour. And Andrew's siblings and hit wrong button Ach hate that :>)

I'm a bit confused with your response?

From what I can see their last Child was ROBERT 1823, Mother is Jean which is a another version of Janet.
Census seems to back this up in 1841where Alexnader/Janet/Robert are together and in 1851 Janet is likely Widowed.
Have you looked at the Census images on Scotlandspeople?
Looked for a Death for them on there?

Trish Andrew and Agnes didn't marry until
Andrew and Agnes Pollock, Wylie married in Stewarton Church of Scotland . 21/Feb/1826 He was a farm servant from Dunlop.
So Robert would of been not their's ?
Even Alex pushed in quickly unless they had him before marring?
I'm leaving for Nova Scotia very soon. I will try to get in here as soon as I can. Thanks for the great info,

I am looking for any information on ALEXANDER WYLIE christened on 6-7-1791 in Dunlop, Ayreshire, Scotland. His father was JOHN WYLIE and his mother was MARGARET ???. The IGI says her last name was Wylie but I doubt it.
Alexander's siblings were: JEAN, DAVID, JANET, MARY, ELIZABETH, JOHN, AGNES, and ANNE.
the old churchyard has quite a few Wylie graves but no one recalls a Wylie family living in Dunlop save for one gentleman who told me that they had a farm on the Dunlop Estate next to Dunlop House. Any help would be appreciated.
Alexander was married to Janet Clark.Can any one tell me Alexander's parents were John and Margaret? Wylie.
-
I wonder if GRIZEL 1797
GRIZEL 1800 could be the Grace?
-
www.whatsinaname.net (http://www.whatsinaname.net) records Grace as a

Was hoping so :) thank you.

I wonder does any one else get as confused as I do... I'm legally blind and miss a lot of info along the way. My questions are. If this list is Alexander's siblings and it looks good but can't get Scotland's people to reach my email I think my inbox is full my kids will have to rescue me :) Any way I'm sorry to post long entry but wanted you to see I have been searching for awhile now and can't go back further then Alexander Wylie.Any direction thanked. If any one needs help and I can help UI can at least try for you :)

If it's any help, I have a coal mining ancestor from Ayrshire who migrated to Pictou, Nova Scotia in about 1832, but returned to Ayrshire a few years later. From the reading about it I've done, the late 1820s to early 1830s would be the most likely timing for your ancestor's migration, as there seems to have been a recruitment drive around then for coal miners.
Your Andrew Wylie does seem to be the one born 30 August 1804 at Neilston, Refrewshire to Alexander Wylie and Janet Clark. As Andrew named his eldest son Alexander then it is highly likely, as that would be the case if they'd followed the Scottish naming pattern.
There was coal mining at Neilston. Coal miners often moved around from mine to mine, so a move to Ayrshire some time after the birth of Andrew would fit with being a coal mining family.
From the records on FamilySearch it would seem Alexander Wylie and Janet Clark had a large family. Could be worthwhile tracking their children to see if any others migrated to Nova Scotia.
Hi I guess they must of been after the wave of immigration to Albion Mines,Nova Scotia because this child Mary Wyllie, born 27/Oct/1837. Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. So it would be after that date. I have went through so many ships list it hard on sight :) I seen a few that stated miners to Albion Mines earlier date and it said departed from Ireland or Eng I'm not seeing any Scottish miners mentioned.thanks for the info it did help..:)
-
Hi thank you JC. I am very interested in your miner Andrew Wylie who went to Canada and then back to Scotland. I know Andrew born 1801 have seen his birth year 1801/1803. I seen his head stone in Stellarton. The fellow you mention could be family do you see more info on your fellow? I looked at Ships and can guess it was before 1843-44 unless the news article on Arthur Morton Wylie a grand son who did so many jobs a Pharmacist in Amherst can't find that or the fact he moved to Illinois to run his Uncle a McKenzie's lumber mill. He married but had no kids.It was that article that told his grand fathers family came to Nova Scotia...from Scotland and the number of kids no names.His father Alexander was a miner in Shifford.This is Alexander Andrew 1801 father..

Hi,
F/S or F/S.Org is my abbreviation of Familysearch.Org
And yes it looks like Robert 1823 was another Son of Alexander/Janet an she is just down as Jean on his Chrsitening.
He also appears on the 1841 Census with them.
Alexander WYLLIE Married Janet CLARK, 17 Jan 1795, Neilson, Renfrew
(F/S.Org)
You wondered if Alexander/Janet may have emigrated as well. They are still in Dunlop on 1841.
Given their ages I would think maybe not.
Have now found a Christening that I lost before;

hi there just found my way back to this site lost the link... Yes the list you gave is the right Andrew born 1804. I can not connect Robert born 1823 as Andrew and Agnes Pollock Wylie's son? The Church of Scotland has Alexander 1826 then Agnes as 2nd child. So Robert isn't theirs ...I will try to look at Scotlandspeople I have had no luck previously...
