Ayrshire / Re: Roxburgh
« on: Thursday 05 May 16 23:23 BST (UK) »
My great grandmother was from Galston, Ayr, Scotland. Her name was Mary Roxburgh, daughter of Andrew and Mary Hindlay (Henley) Roxburgh. He was born in 1833 in Galston. They married in Stewarton in 1856. Andrew's parents were John Roxburgh and Agnes Sharp. I cannot find much on Mary Hindlay, other than she was born around 1835 in Kilmarnock.
Mary Roxburgh came to the US in the late 1880s, married a John Clyde, and had two sons: William and Eschol. Both John and Mary died at an early age, leaving the two young sons to be raised by her sister.
From what I can find, her father, Andrew came to the US in 1900.
Any suggestions as to finding out more about this side of my family? Does anyone else out there have this connection?
We are visiting Scotland at the end of the month and want to do some research.
