Hi Tom,
Thanks for finding this record although I have seen it before. The dates are about right but I can’t find any records to confirm it. I also have some doubts because there don’t seem to be any Anne’s in that side of the family. Neil could also be known as ‘Cornelius’ because that name is very prevalent in the family.
It’s a shame we are not related, as I was hoping to find out more information about my great, great, grandmother Margaret who emigrated to Australia in 1854. It’s difficult to find records from Scotland to assist with research.
Looking at the details in this Sives feed makes me feel like we are all related in some way. The names are all familiar we just need to link them all together.
Cheers,
Lenore
