Hi John
Thanks so much for your prompt reply  :)

Sad that Isabella died quite early, leaving all her children... I wonder how?
And I also wonder why William is infirm??? :(

Jessie Armstrong married George Annand on 20 Aug 1852 at Largs, County Ayr, Glasgow, Scotland.

I can remember (many moons ago!) my grandmother showing me a clothes brush that came with them on the ship to Australia and she also said that the Duke of Argyll was at the dock to see them off! My nan was always adamant that we were Campbell clan and related to the Duke... I'm still searching for some kind of link to prove her claims!

Thanks again,
Best Regards from a chilly morning in Australia
Leesa

Hi John,
Jessie b. 1827 Priorslynn Canonbie is my gg grandmother.

All I have garnered so far on the maternal side is that her Mum was Isabella Taylor, and Isabella's parents were James Taylor from Jockshill and perhaps Jannet Purvis?

Jessie came to Australia with her husband George Annand in 1852.

Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Leesa
Victoria, Australia
