BYAS in Stromness
« on: Sunday 16 April 06 11:51 BST (UK) »
Thomas Byas and Margaret Sabeston married 1783 and had Margaret, Thomas, Ann, Isabella, John and Janet between 1785 and 1802.  John (my great x3 gf) moved to Stirlingshire.  Looking for any other Byas connections.

Cheers

Hi,

Yes, I've come across this William and am sure he's connected just can't find the link.  I do have Thomas on the 1861 - thanks anyway.
