Lot’s of Gold’s indeed! I have yet to piece them all together. You did uncover a couple ‘Gems’ though.
I did not have record of Andrew Gold MILLAR, Muirkirk, aged 9 months. John MILLAR b.1843 d.1879 and Rebecca Kilpatrick Muir b.1847 d.1886 both passed away in Ayrshire; however, all of the children I had record of (outside of the above Andrew) were born in Carluke, Lanarkshire.
I also did not have record of the 1907 still born child of George Gold & Janet Lawson.
Of the Waterloo Gold’s you referenced, only Thomas Halliday GOLD & Agnes French BLACKLEY fall within my family branch. Thomas and Agnes are my paternal Great Grandparents.
I have traced back all of the other Gold lines you referenced and they all converge on Douglas, Lanarkshire (including mine). While I am 99.9% sure these Gold lines are all somehow related, I am not able to connect the other Douglas, Lanarkshire Gold’s to my Andrew GOLD and Elizabeth WEIR b. abt 17449 d.1823 as any connection pre-dates 1750’s. Perhaps one Day I will have a DNA match with one of these distant Gold branches which will allow me to piece together this puzzle.
Thank you again for your time and the abundance of information.
