Hi Mogs,
Elizabeth Dear is my gg grandmother and have LOTS of info!
Mary Jane oldest of about 9 or 10 (don't have details to hand) and Alexander Carey is my g grandfather. Have fairly comprehensive details on Mary Jane's branch too as met up with one of her grand-children a few years ago.
Re: Old Red Castle - think they were living at Cotton of Red Castle in one birth certificate. Found location on map but has long since been ploughed over. They family moved about a bit and this would be because they moved to where the work was. Alexander & Betsy came to Glasgow via Fife - Kilconquhar and St Andrew's.
