hi Gen10, My Beveridges come from the Carnock, Beath area. The Cairns' come from Dunfermline. Most of the Mitchels came from Clackmannan. All coal miners.
The earliest I have gone back with the Beveridges is Thomas Beveridge (b.about 1823) and his wife Agnas Adamson their children Margaret, Euphemia, James, John, Thomas and Janet.
