Just started so am not allowed PMs yet.   I think the connection is this:-

My father was Robert, b. 1923, son of Archibald, b. 1882, son of Richard
b 1850, who is a brother of your George b. 1858, Archibald b 1848, John
b 1853, David b 1863 and who were all sons of Richard b.1814 who married Mary Ann Hay in 1841and that is as far as I had got until I saw your post re Archibald b. 1790 and Agnes Aitken.

I did not know my grandfather as he died in 1949  before I was born.  Yes, I would love to get any information you may have thanks.  I have not looked into the Cowie side of my family too much, concentrated more on my mother's side up to now.  I knew the hairdresser  connection and my father too went there in his younger days for haircuts.

Hi Sandy,
I think I am a distant relative of yours as we share the same great great grandparents.  I still live in Airdrie, in Cairnhill in fact, so some Cowie's don't move very far even if others do go to Australia.  I have a cousin who lives in Adelaide and emigrated over 50 years ago. 

Just joined this site so don't know much about it, but you seem to have got such a lot of information, I may well join up.
