Hi Jeannie,

We must be talking about the same family.  I have the Blackstock girls married to a Maitland (Ann), an Edgar (Sarah), and a Ross (Margaret), but I don't have the Thompson marriage.

I have James Blackstock (who married Margaret Moffat) with a brother William (my relation), and apparently they had a sister Agnes (a.k.a. Nancy), but I didn't know about a Jean married to a Boyd.  That is really interesting!

I am visiting Stranraer in May and will have to look for James' grave site...

Hello,

I am descended from the Wagstaffs of Ayrshire Scotland (hello Stephen and Louise), and I just wanted you all to know that I have started a Wagstaff Surname DNA Project at WorldFamilies.net:

http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/w/wagstaff/index.html

I started this project with 2 participants (my uncle, and a cousin in Scotland) to verify some gaps in my own Wagstaff lineage, but am hoping that eventually we will have enough participants to determine connections between the Wagstaffs of Scotland  and those of  England and Australia as well.

With enough participation, Wagstaffs will be able to tie their lineages together by comparing yDNA between male descendants.  Please check out the web site, and the single lineage I have posted so far for Joseph Wagstaff and descendants.  There is a link to post other lineages, as well, so feel free to post them even without a DNA participant at this time.  Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank You,
Trish Griffin

Ann Fraser and Hugh Wagstaff are my Gr Grandparents.  I have good information on their descendants, but am lacking information on the descendants of Ann's siblings, and on the siblings (if any) of Ann Blackstock b. 1816.

I believe I have all of the Frasers & Blackstocks in the 1841 through 1861 censuses in Kirkcolm.

If you have researched these families and have any information to add, I'd be thrilled to hear from you and am happy to share what information I have.

Regards,
Trish
