Hello bryso thank you for your message but i have been on east lothian a while back looking for any Marr family as my Comb family came from Dunbar which i have quite a bit of imformation on Combs,   one Comb married a Marr.      On my website there is a web site for Combs which all my Combs are on there which they started off in Blyth here and went back to Dunbar. regards gladys.     Smiley

Hi Tess,

I'm also researching the Shiells family from Leith.  James Shiells (b.1878 in Leith) married to Agnes Seath.  James's parents were George Shiells and Mary Henderson.

Any connection to your Shiells?

Regards,

Maggie

I know very little about my Sheills/Sheils  famly.

I have Joan Shiells/Shiels born about 1800 in Haddington, I believe she was the daughter of Peter Shiells and Elisabeth Lemon. Joan Shiells married Robert Anderson and they had several children also born in Haddington.

I also have a Robina Shiells/Shiels in my tree who married John Paterson a Master Plumber of Plumbing company Paterson and Burns. I am unsure when and where Robina was born. But John Paterson was born about 1801 in Canongate, Midlothian. I have often wondered if Robina might of been a sibling of Joan, but haven't been able to prove this yet. As funnily the daughter of John and Robina married the son of Joan and Robert.

The marr's in my tree all seemed to originate from the Prestonpans area and indeed the majority were fisherman. The furthest back on the marr's that I have gone is James Marr who would of been born in the early 1700s he married a Margaret Veitch. The James Marr name seems to carry on down the line.

Hi Tess,

Thanks for your reply.  At the moment, I can't connect with your Shiells family.

My name is Denise M. Shiells, my parents and family are from Scotland in the area you are researching.  My Dad's name is George Wm. Shiells, his mothers name was Margaret Shiells (Kerr) married to William Shiells.  My dad married Joan Shiells and I'm one of those daughters who was born in Edinburg Scotland and moved to the USA in the mid 60's.  I also have a son William Stuart Shiells-and he now has a daughter Julie McKaye Shiells.

I also had family in Haddington. Surname Shiells. My fathers name is James William Shiells born 1928 in Ontario and his fathers name was also James Shiells born 1894-96 in Haddington. I will attach some pictures of a gravesite in Haddington that seems to match my family.

I am researching Marrs from North Berwick.  James Marr married Johanna Jamieson, they had a son, Charles who married Jane Kirke and had a daughter, Jane who was my greatgrandmother and who emigrated to Australia in 1883.  I am also connected to Logans of Edinburgh and East Lothian. Some Marrs seem to have come from Aberdeen but most are in North Berwick, Haddington and that area.

Hi Siobhan,

I have just found out more about my 3xgreat gran. She was Helen ANDERSON born about 1814 in Gladsmuir, East Lothian and as far as I know ( still have to confirm it) her parents were John ANDERSON and Ann WATT. Is there a connection to your ANDERSONs?
