Hello Karenjw5      This is a blast from the past.
    I do have some Information on the Garrow family, I will make it short in case you already have
it on your family tree.          William Garrow married Ann Irvine -17 July 1826
         William parents --    John Garrow & Helen Henry  add 8 Garrow's Court Trinity St Aberdeen
           John's  parents     John Garrow & Isobel Cruickshank ? ( I'm not to sure on the mother)

from the 1853 Liverpool Directory:-   Garrow John Silk Merchant.(Sidney & C) 58 Church St
                                                       Garrow William, Gentlemen, 7 Richmond Vale. Bootle.
 Have you come across  Isabel Garrow & James Shirreff or what ever the spelling, she is John's sister ,    I have more paper work ok. hope to hear from you.

Hello Andy4x4. This is the information i have on the Sheriffs side of the family.
                      Jane Shirrefs marries Alexander Cadenhead
Jane's parents are
            Rev Dr James Shirrefs & Amelia Morison
now Rev Dr James Shirrefs parents are
       David Shirrefs & Jane Lunan   (father John Lunan)

So Rev W A Lunan could be brother to John Lunan & Rev David Lunan.
there is a Lunan family tree on the web somewhere, will let you know
when I find it.

Many Thanks for your e-mail Mr Shirrefs
It's been a while since anyone contacted me about Jamaica to Australia,
the book you've mentioned I will try and read it.
I hav'nt found any links to that family yet, so if your just starting out
the best of luck,
Try and contact some of the people who contacted me.

I'm Looking for any information on this profession in Aberdeen
and does it still exist.
Is there any archives or Museum in Aberdeen which may hold
information, I am looking around a timescale 1820/ 1845.

Any info or links to look for would be grateful.

Kind Regards           Jim.S
