Hi Lynda J, Yes, there is a connection, Thomas who farmed Auld Allan was my 3rd Gt. Grandfather, father of James. James also farmed the property. Four of James's sons emigrated to New Zealand, David (my Gt. Grandfather), and brothers Peter, John Annan and Robert Malcolm, all settled in Southland, New Zealand. In Thomas' Will it shows ... "my elder daughter by my present marriage (to Jean Ramsay), Mary Mackay wife of William Milne" - perhaps "Betty" was her known name!! Thomas had James, Catharine, Martha and Margaret (shown in Will) from his first marraige to Agnes Wilson. I hope this may help you with your research. Please don't hesitate to contact if you feel I can help further. Homers.
