Yes I have many Waddells,Weddells,& all it's glorious permutations.
My Grandfather was the second youngest of a batch of nine- the first three or four are spelled "Waddle" & the others "Waddell"His parents were educated & literate I think that surname spellings were just not standardised until officialdom took over our lives!

Hello Joette
How did you find this thread? I searched for it a few days ago and was not able to find it. It was completed last March and I assumed that the Rootschat moderaters deleted it.
If you think you might be related to my branch of the Waddells after reading all the previous posts I would love to have more information from you. I travelled to Mauchline last June and found a lot more about my ancestors.
Sincerely,
Evelyn

Hi Evelyn I wish but alas no my Waddells have no connection to Ayrshire Apart from that they marry into my Ayrshire Browns,Torrances,McDowall/McQuath.
