Alexander Divertie and Ann Laird are also my 2nd great grandparents. I have Alexander's parents are William Divertie (from Paisley) and Helen Patterson (from Lightburn), both born about 1799 and married in Eastwood 29 Jul 1821. Hope this helps. My mother said she was told there were French ancestors but she never knew where it fit in. This is as far back as I've been able to trace. Would love to know more.
