A few of the names I am researching in Ayrshire are Petrie/ Ralston/ Millar/ Jaffrey/ Dickie/ Wylie/ Speirs. Is there anyone else researching any of these names?  Donna

Hi
I have a Janet Jaffrey married to Colin Shearer Haddow in Kilwinning 1853. My connection is through Colin's second wife Isabella Orr Richmond.

Hello: Thank you for your response. I also have some Janet Jaffreys , but I don't think there is any connection.  I will give them to you anyway
Janet jaffrey 1760 daughter of David Jaffrey  and Janet Boyd
Janet 1777-1819 daughter of Robert Jaffrey and Janet Allen. Robert was son on above David
Janet jaffrey 1809- 1864. Janet was the daughter of Peter Roberton Jaffrey and Francis McClelland. Peter was son of Robert and Janet Allen.
Janet married Sydney Millar

All come from Irvine. That is where I pull away from the Jaffreys and continue with the Millars. I do know of some connections to the Jaffreys if you want me to pass along your e-mail.  Let me know, and maybe this older information may be of some help. I also have the names and dates for most of the siblings, if that helps.   Donna

Hi Sharon:  I thought I had replied to this posting, but I do not see it, so forgive me if I am repeating myself.  I don't have information about the specific people you mention, but I may have some sort of other connection with your Speirs, and Dickie.  I have Sydney( Sidney) Millar 1808-1884, born Irvine to Archibald Millar and Jean Dickie. The Speirs come in when they name their first child- Agnes Speirs Millar. I thought the Speirs would probably come from the mother's side, but have been unable to find anything concrete.  This may or may not help you, but it may also help me if you know of some sort of connection.. Donna

Hi Icini
Not somebody else calling me Sharon!! Wish I had her money though.
I can't see a connection at the moment but have not got all my notes to hand. Will keep this on file and get back to you if I find a connection.

Forgive me Sarah!!!    I guess my brain filled in the first name with a familiar sound.  Again apologies...Donna

Don't worry it's quite flattering really esp since I'm over 50 and not exactly slim!!

Sarah, I forgot to mention my Wylie.( Wyllie)  Janet Wylie 1779 Kilwinning, married to Alexander Ralston 1804.  she named one of her sons Robert (1818), so she may have a Robert Wylie in her past.   Do you know any of these?   Donna
