Jan,

If you could be a bit more specific about your gran, somebody may be able to help.

First name and date of birth etc., etc. would be a good place to start.

Hi Shay.
I am also a 2nd great Granddaughter of Peter and Ann Laing who emigrated to Adelaide in 1853.
I am trying to find out any information. My great Grandfather was John (Jock) Laing. I tried your email address but it must have changed.
Love to get in touch.
regards,
Deb

Hi Deb, I started this thread looking for Peter & Ann and would like to exchange info with you.  Which of their children are you decended from, you mention a John is that the one born 1863 in Adelaide?  I do not have a lot on the family in Australia but can tell you more about the generations before in Scotland.

Cheers Evelyn

Hi Evelyn. Thanks for your reply. It's great to hear from you.  Sorry I am new to this and I'm not sure how it all works. I noticed Shay's note and thought she may be able to help me. I am doing the family research for my mother. Yes, John (Jock) was born in 1863 in Adelaide. He married Ruth Turnbull in 1890 and they had 7 children (I think) :- Herbert, Ruby (Olive), John (Sonny), Reginald, Hilda, Hector & Ivy.
My grandmother was Ivy. I am a bit confused because on the ship "Shackamaxon" that Peter and Ann arrived on in 1853 lists their daughter as Mary Jane 11years old. Surely there wouldn't be 2 Peter Laings marrying a Ann Younger from Alloa??
Would definately like any information you have.
Hope to hear soon.
Regards,
Deb
