I am interested in contacting any descendants of David Haxton 1878-1960 and his wife Jane Neil Milne 1881-1963 who lived in Manor Street Forfar towards the end of their lives.  I have family tree information (a lot) that I should like to share. 

Jim1,

Thanks, I'll have a look.

I am trying to find the maiden name of Maria, the wife of Richard Belles Cooper.  Cooper was  baptised St Philips Birmingham on 7 Jan 1803.  They had 3 children, all baptised at New Jerusalembir Summer Lane Birmingham.  Ann (bapt 10 Oct 1829) Richard (bapt 27 Feb 1831) and Anne Maria (bapt 13 Jul 1834).  Hence I believe Richard & Maria were likely to have married in the few years before 1829.  I am not sure where they married.

The Coopers were spur makers based in Moland Street.  In 1818 the company was Rock & Cooper, spur makers.  Later it became Cooper and Sons, spur, bit and stirrup makers.  I suspect the Coopers & Rocks may have intermarried at some point, perhaps before this.  I cannot find a marriage record for Richard Belles Cooper.  Maria stated on various documents that she was born in Birmingham, Warks.   

If anyone can suggest lines of enquiry I should be very grateful.

No Luck I'm afraid.  The Mary Bowden transported to NSW on the Earl Cornwallis arriving 1801 was still in NSW in 1825, so she could not have returned to England with a child and then married Thomas Willey in Gloucestershire in 1819.  Never mind, I'll keep searching for other possibilities.  Thanks to all who replied on this one.

Many thanks Trevor - I didn't know that.
