Why would someone move from Kirkcudbright to Pembrokeshire?

Just a quick note to Gadget I live local to this area  and I think you will find the Queensferry you refer to is on the river Dee   Flintshire not the Mersey which would also make more sense  of travelling to Bala area in N wales

Thanks, Druid. 

My error - I was born and grew up in North Wales so I knew where Queensferry was. I got he wrong river

The letter (written 1833-4) said that they landed at Liverpool and then crossed at Kingsferry (as it was then).

If it hadn't been for that journey, I wouldn't exist - my Scots ancestors married  into Welsh families
