Hi
I am doing a spot of research for a friend & wondered if anyone had any information on the Dewar family.
The furthest back I have gone is James Dewar b1817c married to Barbara Wilson in 1839 Kilconquhar.
I am looking for information on their parents. Also, the marriage of their son, James Wilson Dewar. I can't find anything, but know he married around about 1878 in Forfar. His wife was Elizabeth, but went by Betsy.
I'd be very grateful for anything!
Many Thanks
Suzanne.

There's a marriage in 1877 at St Peter's area of Dundee between a James W Dewar and Betsy Fraser that looks a possibility
