Hi all
Just an update on the Kirkcaldy saga which might interest Kilsyth. Think we have dented the brick wall. You were on the right lines along Kilsyth!

Found out that the Robert Kirkcaldy who married Jane/Jean Taylor was born in Flisk on the 28th March 1762 to David KIRKALDIE and Margaret Meldrum who in turn were married in Kilmany on 6th November 1756. Robert had 3 siblings (there may be more) namely, Helen born Kilmany 1757, Ann born Kilmany 1760 and David born 1769. David married Hay Thomson and had 2 sons James and David.
David KIRKALDIE may be the son of Robert Kirkaldie and Helen Smith

I think I have narrowed down the parents of Jane/Jean Taylor, there was a Jean Taylor born to John Taylor and Janet Henderson in Newburgh in 1769. They were married on the 26th November 1768 in Balmerino, so it all seems to fit in.
Any thoughts anyone? Regards Jenc
