Hello Sheila,

Welcome to Rootschat! 

There appears to be quite a few Bartholomews listed on this site: (Gravestones in Muiravonside Churchard, Page 5)

Thank you.  I think that is where I started (gravestones in Muiravonside Churchyard). Seems when one is looking for something.. they find a clue on the other side.  Cheers

I'm working on a friend's tree whose ancestors eventually lead to William Rae B 1743 and Margaret Bartholomew B 1739.
Andrew and Margaret had a son William Rae born 1788 Muiravonside. He had a son William Rae B1813 Laurieston, Falkirk. And he had a son Andrew Rae born 1842 Falkirk. He had a daughter Helen Smith Rae born 1878 Falkirk.

You can PM me if you want for more details.

Hi Shazzi1,

working out the relationship, I am a 3rd cousin to your father.  This makes us 3 cousins 1 generation removed.  I had nothing for James Wilson & Mary Nimmo so this helps with my research as well.  This makes James Rae & Margaret Paul your 6x Great Grandparents.

I will send you a PM to see what we can help each other with

Cheers
Dano

John Rae + Katharine Lecky (Bothkennar)
