Hi everyone,
Just wondering if there are any descendants of George Porter & Robina Henderson from Mauchline,Ayr, Stratton.
 They were married around 1851 and George was an Innkeeper/ Spirit Dealer.
They had 9 children Agnes,David,Jane,Margaret,Mary,Sarah,William, John, George.
Agnes married Lachlan McIntyre, then William Downs McMillan in 1903 after Lachlan passed away in 1898.

Hi J.J.

Thank you for all of that, certainly looks like our family.
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you, sometimes my world goes crazy, and it doesn't help when the computer joins in.
I see you have found 11 births for Robina and George, I only have 9 so far. More digging needed.

Cheers

Just in case you did not know George Porter, and his wife Robina Henderson, went to Canada, about 1852. where three of there earlier children were born,
John Porter, born about 1853. Canada,
Janet Porter, born about 1855. Canada.
James Porter, born about 1857. Canada.

They had taken there first born George Porter, born about 1851. with them. they returned to Ayr. Scotland. between 1857 and 1861.

I think in total they had 13 children.

Regards,
Jonn.

Thank you jonn, I now have 13, but........ now have to figure out if they had 14. As there was a daughter Jessie b. in Canada about 1855!!!!!!!! A twin for Janet ?? or was Janets real name Jessie. 
She married as Jessie to Hugh Train, they took over The Thistle Inn in Mauchline soon after George died.

And so the puzzle continues.
