Hi my name is John Hills and my great great grandparents lived at no 20 the same place as Helen's.It is indeed a small place.Mine lived there in the 1901 census ,seems Helen and I must be related.I live in Sydney Australia.

I see you have DEWAR !..I have DEWAR from Clydebank who went there from East Kilbride and Carnwath Lanarkshire before that...They lived in the white house at the corner of Barnes Street and Whitecrook Street.They worked for the Borough.

Hello Kevin,
                   my 4 x great grandmother was a Jean Wallace who married James Baird in East Kilbride in March 1772. I also have a Mary Wallace who married Robert Baird in East Kilbride in 1842. This Mary Wallace is named on the family headstone in EK Old Parish Churchyard.
Also a Jean Wallace from Glasford who married my 3 x great grandfather William Baird in 1801.
Hope this doesn't cloud things too much. Would be interested in exchanging notes.

Baird

My gr.gr.gr.grandparents were also Jean Wallace and William Baird...their daughter Elizabeth Baird had an illegitimate daughter Jane Baird or Lawson born 1833...John Lawson was the father...maybe a cousin.
Jane Baird/Lawson married my gr.grandfather Duncan McColl in East Kilbride.I have a photo of the family outside their cottage in Kittochside.

Thanks Elizabeth..I would like to contact Miss Poohs whenever possible.

I'd be so very grateful if some one would help me look for anything on the Dewar Family.

They emigrated from Scotland to New Jersey in the 1920s.

I have found them on the 1930 census living in Madison Ave, Elizabeth, Union County, New Jersey, but I'd so love to have further info like death dates or marriage information of their daughter, if indeed she did marry.

From the 1930 census the family are, Peter 35yrs (on the census he's Petter), Kate 36yrs and Jean Dewar who is 13 yrs old.

I can't make out Peters occupation from the census form, its very crammed, looks like cup-something or other on the rail road.

Anyway I'd be so grateful of any help.

Thank you in advance. 

Peter Dewar is my grandmothers nephew,his parents are John Dewar and Mary Kerr..I would like to exchange info with you...my EMail is (*)
