I am researching my Chalmers family beginning , I believe, in Girvan in Ayrshire, Scotland. David Chalmers b 1704 married Sara Broun b. 1700 in abt 1720. One child, my ancestor was Ronald Chalmers b 1726 and d 1790. He married Margaret McClymont, their child was John who married Agnes Guthrie. I understand the family originated in Girvan however I dont have an address. the children of John and Agnes were all born in/registered Girvan. I would love to find out what they did and where they lived

Hi woodviewpark,
I did a search on Ancestry for "Ronald Chalmers and Margaret Mcclymont" and got 1 result, the "Stoddart Family tree" by a Gilian Vickers, not sure if this is you but if not, you can get in touch with her, seems to be regularly on Ancestry.
