Your Sarah Niven  b 26/10/1756 is in my Family Tree. I have no record of descendants of Sarah of which I am pleased you are one.  Sarah was the youngest of the family of John Niven (b 1697) & Joan Gray. I am descended from John's brother, Robert (b 1713, Ardlochan) married Margaret Ross. Family records say that John & Robert's parents were James Niven (d 9/2/1751) and Margaret ? (b 1679 d 13/2/1733). Do you have more information?

Hi Gordon

Great to hear from you; yes I have lots of information on the Niven family.

Sarah Niven married James Meikle 1785 Edinburgh.  So far I have only found 2 children, John Meikile Jan 1788 Bothwell (from SP)  and James Meikle born abt 1795 Bothwell according to the censuses I have been able to track him in (I have so far found no birth/bapt for him on SP  :()  I am descended from James Meikle 1795 who married Elisabeth Low.

If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to let me know and I will be only too happy to share my info with you.  I am sure, like you, in your research you have found that the name Meikle has been spelt numerous ways over time, as has Niven!

Perhaps you would be kind enough to give me some of your information on your side of the family please?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

I tried to attach my Family Tree of which there are many worksheets (Excel) You would see me on the 1st one Gordon Drynan Niven. Sarah Niven is on FT2 Ardlochan - 3rd worksheet).
Rootschat prevents the sending of Excel documents.

Would be interested to see what you have
