Hi Steve

William Bartram (b:abt. 1700-d: 1777) married to Helen Brotherstons, is my 6th great-grandfather.
William Bartram (b:abt. 1700-d: 1777) married to Agnes Cosbie, is Margaret Bartram's ( b:20 Aug. 1825) great grand-father.
I have the names of the 7 children of James Bartram & Margaret Haddow but not any information on their spouses or children.
I would like to share information with you. Would you please let me know if you are interested.

Hi Steve

I am very interested in the document you found giving the names of the grandchildren of William Bartram and Elizabeth Henderson. Although I had these names in my tree I now have you as another source for this information. I have traced myself back 10 generations from the  present to George Bertram/Bartram born in Glenholm who I think is your William Bartram’s brother or in fact half-brother.

Their father was William Bartram b about 1707 d 19 Oct 1777 married to Margaret Craig b 1724 died 29 April 1756. In 1755 the parish OPR says he went off with Agnes Cosbie and had Margret b 7 Oct 1755, Margrat b 1759 and William b 10 Jan 1760. I have a family document and tombstone information that indicates my George was also the son of William b 1707, but by Margaret Craig, making George and your William half-brothers.

However I cannot find any other source to confirm that George was the son of William, b 1707. I also have no information about this William, any siblings, although I think his father was Peter Bartram b ? d 30Oct 1739, and mother Hellen Mowatt b? d 30 Oct 1739. Have you any other information from your family records that might help.

Thanks
Janet

Hi Sam

I would like to make contact. Your list is excellent. I live in Canada and have written a book on the history of John Bertram, my ancestor, who is on your list born in 1829 September 13 to Wlliam Bertram and Margaret Aimers in Peebles. There is another Bertram family here that also has been researched, who arrived about the same time in Ontario, from East Lothian, one even ended up in the same town. We are quite certain they are related and are trying to go back 3 or 4 generations from John to do so. We even have had 2 male members of each family get their DNA and there is a good match to spur us on.

Hopefully you can help.
