Hi Steve,

I have a James Harper born about 1824 Paisley.
Don't know his parent's names.

Married 16 May 1851 to Catherine Keith, Middle Church, Paisley.

They had 5 children:
Isabella Harper born 1856
Mary Harper 1856
Sarah Harper 1859
William Harper 1861
Catherine Harper about 1876

The mother Catherine (Keith) Harper born 1824 Paisley died 1901 Barrhead.  Parent's : James Keith and Isabella McArthur.

I am from the Keith line thru Catherine Keith's sister Sarah Keith.
