Lanarkshire / William Smellie and Margaret Russell
« on: Wednesday 02 January 13 19:13 GMT (UK)  »
 I am looking for information pertaining to a William Smellie  b. Sept. 10, 1810 in Bothwell , Lanark, Scotland. His parents were William Smellie & Margaret Russell. Their other children were Elizabeth b. 01 July 1808, John b. 23 March 1813, & Thomas b. 13May 1821.

 Is there a link btw. this family of Smellie's and the Smellie Family that lived at the  South Medrox farm in New Monkland, Lanark, Scotland on or about the years (1694 - 1778 ) .  Are they related? If there is a link - could  someone please  enlighten me on the connection.    I would appreciate hearing from anyone who could shed some light on this matter. 

Thanks in advance,

Gary

  I am looking for information pertaining to the Robert Smailly and Agnes Thomsone  family.  I wish to know the names of all their children, dates of birth,  who they married, date of death.  I do know that their son Matthew Smellie b. 1694 in Medrox, New Monkland, Lanark, Scotland  - married Jean Anderson in 1719. Also if anyone has a family tree of this family, or information of the parents of Robert  Smellie (Smailly) or further back, and where each family member was born or lived and a list of any children.  Any and all information would be very much appreciated.

Thank-You

Gary
