I am looking for brothers or sisters of Mr.John Ramsay, born in Fifeshire Scotland in 1865 also his wife, Jane Ramsay, nee Cameron, born 1870 in Glasgow. These were my Grandparents.

I believe John's parents names were David and Isabelle

John and Jane had the following children in Scotland, Mary, John, Isabelle, Donald, David, Margaret, Jennie. They then came to Australia to settle in Sydney where the last of their children, Jean was born.

John was an Iron Driller. I have been told that either Jane or her mother was a school teacher in Scotland.

I would love to make contact with any family who may be tracing this family in Scotland.

My Father, Donald Ramsay was born in 1907 at 6 Castlebank Rd, Partick.
Regards,
Jan Leslie
