Alexander Ross married Agnes Wright Robb 1880, lived in Girvan.
« on: Thursday 16 April 15 12:28 BST (UK) »
I am trying to locate any decendents of the families of my Great Grandparents  Alexander Ross and his wife Agnes Wright-Robb  who married 1880.  They left Girvan to live in Lancashire England in the late 1800s.  They had 3 children born in Girvan region.  David Alexander, Rebecca Barton, and Agnes W.   David was my grandfather.   They had more children in England  Margaret B, and Alexander, and Donald.    My great great grandfather was also Alexander Ross.

I believe Alexander and Agnes lived in Dalrymple St in Girvan in the 1880s.

I live in Canberra Australia, so it is a bit difficult to find any information.  I would appreciate any help.

Thank You
Brenda Cooke  nee Ross

Have you tried for a marriage for them on www.scotlandspeople.gov that will give you their parent's names or have you already got that ?
You most probably have them in the 1881 census in Pendleton in Salford ?
