Hi,
Thanks for this latest info. Apologies for slow responses at times but I am a full time carer as well as researcher. So thanks to Pam and Christine as well for their earlier input.
I have John Forster dying at 80 years in 1870 at Small Burns so that hangs together.
Following your info I found that Thomas & Dinah had offspring:
1) At Knarsdale, Thomas 28/12/1774, Rebecca 19/04/1778, Jane 30/12/1781 and Joseph 28/12/1783;
2) At Kirkaugh, William 09/04/1786 and John 18 Mar 1789.
For John & Ann Robson I have Children:
Joseph 1811-1822, Thomas 1813, Rebecca 1815-1845, Mary 1818, Ann 1821-1895, Jane 1826, John 1826, Joseph 1827-1902, Hannah 1830-1906, Robson 1833-1918 and Margaret 1836. However, from what Christine contributed earlier some of their Baptismal dates might need refining. I shall try to do that.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dennis
