Hello Yonks Ago,

I cannot fit any of your Lamberts or Christies to my tree at the moment.  Perhaps the connection is further back.

I am researching Elizabeth Blyth who I believe married John Colville. All I know is they were from Scotland and I believe their daughter Mary 1826 on census but date seems to differ. If it is my Mary she married John Kelly 1827 Ireland.

Hello Wildgoose,

Thanks for that but I don't think it's the sames Andrew Leitch.  Mine was a lot earlier.
