Not the same one.
The one I know - the son John is around would be born around 7 years before that so the father David I would have expected about 20 before that.
Best of luck with search & computer.

I have Greenshields in my family.

Annabella Greenshields born in Kirkoswald, 1855-1934 (married Hugh Murray)
Her parents were James Gillies Greenshields born Monkton (1819 - 1902) and Isabella Moffat born in Fewnwick (1825-1897)
Other children were:

Robert, James, Mary, Agnes, Helen, Hugh, David, Elizabeth & Jeanie

I have James Greenshields parents as Michael Greenshields born Belfast (1777-1855) and Mary Gillies born 1786. Michaels parents as Campbell Greenshields and Annie Gibson. I think I read somewhere about Michael coming from Ireland and changing his surname to green shields from something else.

Any info on the Greenshields would be great.

Oh I have more. Some are in Kilmarnock (and riccarton, hurlford etc) too and Kirkoswald.

James Greenshields b.1887 Kilmarnock married Isabella M Murray
James Greenshields b. 1880 Kilamrnock

Not sure if that makes any difference. The oldest Greenshields I have is from 1777 - it may be a different line completely.

Hi jcarrz

Just noticed you post about Greenshields. I am descended from Helen J who married an Alan Cuthbertson Their daughter Agnes was my grandmother. I had got back as far as James 1819 but hadnt got any further than that. We may be related!
