Lanarkshire / Re: John Waddell the Martyr
« on: Sunday 18 January 15 14:48 GMT (UK) »
Afternoon folks, I know Gavin Waddell and have a copy of his book being a Slamannan Waddell through my late grandmother. I am also an 8x great grandson of John Winning and Sarah Waddell. This posting was the first suggestion I have seen that Sarah Waddell is a daughter of John Waddell the Martyr.
There are interesting connections within the Winning family. John Winning's cousin was James Winning who was hung in 1684 and James' mother Helen Main is reputed to be a close relative of Main the Standard Bearer who was also hung.
