Found the above which mentions a Christina Provan, that is the generation behind my grandfather William, my mum is called Christina as was her aunt who emigrated to America and was a ladies maid for Walt Disnesys mother. I have grown up with tales of all the gifts, clothes and food sent from America during WW2. My mum recalls if a large tin of ham was sent from a America my gran would share it with the neighbours as she would share most of anything that was sent from America, she recalls getting Disney books signed by Walt Disney himself, whatever happened to those books oh they must have been passed on to someone else to enjoy by goodness they would be worth some money now......

My Grandfather was Andrew Cowan Provan born in high banton b.1902/d.1979. Grandmother Janet Stevenson born high banton, . My mother Jeanette Horn Jarvie Provan married name McIntyre, aged 83. My father is McIntyre, his mothers maiden name was Silsby. Any long lost relatives out there?

Hi Everyone
I am Ross Provan, in New Zealand. I believe I am descended from David Provan and Janet Cowan and would love some more info. My line is via William, then Andrew, then multiple James'!
