Dave....here are two more from my own research...
         - Walter Forrest & wife Elizabeth Stewart
 and a - James Forest & wife Barbara Gilmore
     Both in Lanarkshire
     Cheers

Neither in my tree, but....

Walter and Elizabeth I've looked at in the past. 
Walter was born / baptised 2 Mar 1813 Cambusnethan to John Forrest / Helen Smith.   
I'm in contact with several people that are descended from John / Helen.   Can't recall off top of my head if they have all taken DNA tests.

I've also looked at James Forrest 18 Mar 1811 and Barbara Gilmore / Gilmour also descended from same couple. 

John / Helen appear to have had at least 6 children from about 1811 - 1826

My contacts will have more info on the family than I do.

Hi Dave, Are you researching the John Forrest born 1779  and his wife Janet Smith born  c 1777 Lanakshire ?

Not in my tree that I can see.  Unsure whether I've looked into them for other Forrest contacts I've been in touch with via my Forrest Facebook group.

Hello Anne and everyone,

Could you please check someone for me in the old cemetery? ...

Agnes DOUGLAS (born c1805)

In the 1851 census she's in North End, Cambusbarron, St Ninians, Stirling

I can't locate her before or after that.

Thank you very much for any help.

John


Hi John,
Sorry to tell you that Anne (apanderson) passed away at the beginning of 2019.

I'm sorry to say that Anne passed away last April.
I no longer have a copy of the MIs for the area.

Yep.  Thanks Annie.  Realised that.  Have now shared the original documents with 4043 on the Forrest FB group.  As I say, unfortunately don't have the time to transcribe them.

Due to Rootschats regulations about copyright, I can't post the records on here

I'm sure people interested would be happy with the info. transcribed too for others to read who may also be connected & unknown as yet?

Annie

I'm sure they are.  Wish I had time to type up a full transcript for all the documents I have.  Alas, as I have thousands of BMD's relating to Forrests I've purchased from SP over the years, it's not feasible.  Have always been happy to share the specific downloads with other Forrest researchers descended from those specific lines.  SP allows us to share provided not for commercial purposes but unfortunately RC doesn't allow it on these forums.  Anyone with known Forrest ancestry in Scotland is welcome to join the Forrest FB group.  There, I can freely post the downloads.

Robert Forrest married Margaret Kerr in 1840, Mary Hamilton in 1881, and died 1905.  The death record from 1905 confirms both spouses and his parents names.  I have a copy of both marriage records and the death record.  Details of the 7 children to Robert and Margaret were obtained from a combination of records from Scotlands People, Family search and the census records.  Margaret Kerr died 1879 in Lesmahagow.  Due to Rootschats regulations about copyright, I can't post the records on here, but if I've not already done it, I'm happy to share them privately or through my FB group.

Deleted previous reply as I typed incorrect info as I was rushing.  Will repost shortly.
