I am not sure if you know but Samuel Noble Bruce was the brother of the great Antartic explorer William Speirs Bruce born in London 1867 but considered a Scottish explorer due to his parentage

Hi Kev,
Although I can't be certain, I believe your ancestor Jean Gass who was the mother of Robert Farish had a sister Rosy whom I believe is Rosina Gass born 3 September 1753 at Hoddom to John Gass. The only John Gass I have who is connected to a Rosina is John Gass born bef 14 Nov 1733 to John Gass and Rosina Irving. John Gass was a  cousin to my ancestor William Gass of Butterdales in Dornock. The common ancestor was Nicholas Gass in Butterdales born c 1620. A lot of this is ofcourse conjecture but there is a fair probability that it is correct. I am descended from Nicholas Gass through his grandson or possibly gt grandson Nichol Gass and his wife Jean Wightman. The gravestones for this family are in Dornock Churchyard, Dumfriesshire.
All the best Robbie

Hi Suzywong,
I need your email address. Here is mine (sub @ for at)  (*)
The photo is up for sale on the web so if you fancy the original its something like $30. On the back it says "David Laidley".    Veteran of Civil War.
I downloaded from the website. I also have a photo of another of the grandkids ie Maggie Laidlaw dau of William taken in 1920.
Where do you fit in?
Is the Liverpool connection a more recent connection??
Cheers Robbie

Hi SuzyW,
I have been researching the descendants of David Laidlaw/ Laidley and Isabella Broadfoot (Bell Bradfute) for many years and have traced all the lines with the possible exception of sons Thomas and David and have never found a connection to Liverpool in England. I know the Laidley/ laidlaws were in Australia, Canada and USA as well as the family who remained in Scotland from whom I am descended but I have never found a Liverpool family. The known children were James 1793 (went to Glasgow) George 1795 (went to Northampton Mass USA after Glasgow)  William 1798 (my ancestor went to Ayrshire Scotland ) Robert 1800 lived in Old Monkland, Scotland (his first son went to Australia) Margaret 1804 (went to Ontario Canada) Alexander 1807 died young. David (went to Glasgow then MAYBE Ontario, Canada).  John 1812 (went to Ontario Canada) Alexander 1815 (went to Australia returned to Glasgow) . Sarah 1817 (went to Montreal Canada then to Northampton Mass USA) and finally Thomas 1820 (whom I think went to Ontario, Canada?). Let me know what you have on Liverpool and I can help verify it. If you would like the family history I can send you a gedcom. All the best Cousin Robbie

Ayrshire / Re: McCall Sorn Ayrshire

Hi Lorraine, I think the answer to who James McCall's father may be  could be in his middle name
JAMES BLUE GALLOWAY
 Birth:  08 JUN 1865   Cadder, Lanark, Scotland

  Mother:  ANN GALLOWAY 
I think that looking for a James Blue from that area and time may reveal the father of James  ie James Blue  Cheers Robbie
