Ayrshire / Re: John McSevney
« on: Saturday 11 February 12 12:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Fionagal

Still a lot of work to do on my tree, but I try my best. 

The McSephney clan are one of the hardest families to trace because of the variations in spelling the name due to the Scribers,  and most people of that time not being able to read or write.

I was in touch with John McLinden 2/3 years ago and we were going to work on one big tree, but I have not been well and haven't been back in touch with John which I am ashamed of.  I am now retired and have all the time in the world.

I know what you mean about on-line trees I always do the research, sometimes I might copy something I haven't got - but I always check it out with the certificates, and google -  so many people have got it wrong.

I have been working for over a week trying to find Elizabeth Dalton's death; so far no luck.  I don't know if maybe  it is the spelling of her surname, as I have found at least six variations of this; or if it is her christian name - maybe she was known by a derivative.

I would like you to get in touch - *

Talking and sharing is a great thing.

Thank you again for contacting me

If you look at my tree on ancestry  (tree name Ellis you will find John McSephney) he is a direct descendant of mine.

Hello
I'm afraid I haven't any information on my Denholm kin, sorry but I came to a dead end with this part of my tree, which you can have a look at on Ancestry under Ellis

The Common Room / James Gregg
« on: Monday 10 October 11 21:06 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on James Gregg, Town Clerk of Kilmarnock in 1792, I have been unable to find his death.  He was born 1767, but I have no idea who his parents were.  He married Lewis brown she was born 9 July 1771, Kilmarnock.  I know he built a house where the Dick Institute now stands.  This house was called Lewisville/Elmbank House.  James Gregg was a Writer/Solicitor and worked a lot in Edinburgh.  His 5th daughter Charles married  James Morison of Mauchline Matthew Morison's son, renowned cabinet makers in Edinburgh.

Can anyone shed some light on this man.

Thank you C
