Hi Gail - thanks for your reply!
I live in a small town in western Pennsylvania USA called Emlenton, we're on the Allegheny about 80 miles or so north of Pittsburgh.
The Elizabeth Wylie that was the step mother of my great great grandmother Ellen Jane McMaster was the daughter of William Wylie (a shoemaker) and Janet Downs. On their 1874 marriage license both are listed as deceased. Does that fit in with your Wylies?
How big is Mossend? Both William McMaster and Robert Moffett were listed as being "underhand shearsman" in an iron works near there, and I have seen references in a couple of things I have seen for them being in the Clydesdale Iron Works - would that have been near Mossend?
