Laird From Kilmacolm

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Grianaig Report 9 Feb 2011 13:34

Trying to trace my 5x G Grandparents children.

Their Names were Robert Laird & Jane Laird. Married in 1782 in Kilmacolm, Scotland and had the following children:-

Ann(1783), Jane(1786) & Robert(1792) all born in Kilmacolm also. I'm decended down through Jane(1786) and am looking for any info on either Ann or Robert, to see and if I can find their Marriage & Death records.

Having no luck with Scotlandspeople and hope that someone out there is related down through 1 of the other branches..

I also have Robert Lairds parents as Alexander Laird & Anne Holme, Janes parents as John Laird & Jean Fleming.
