Wilson Family from Plean, St Ninians, Stirlingshire
« on: Sunday 24 November 13 20:55 GMT (UK) »
I've been doing some work on my paternal side and discover that I can trace my tree back to a John Wilson and Janet Laird both of whom seem to come from Plean. I found John's birth in 1794, in Plean. Census records say the family came from Plean or St Ninians. My grt grt grandfather is one of his sons called James, who ended up in Airdrie, married to Mary Love. She seems to have come from the Clackmannan area originally. Funny thing I've noticed from posts here, are Wilsons who seem to have moved to Larbert from Plean area. Funny thing is that my gran called Janet Marshall came from Larbert and I have no idea how my grandfather would have met her. Just wondering if he had family up there. Also wonder if anyone can shed light on these names. I tried to find Janet Laird in Register House a couple of weeks ago without success, but will have another try next time. Just really hoping for some info ...thanks if you can help out    Elspeth
