Hello SC,
I recently came across some of your posts here. I am descended from Robert FARISH/Elisabeth LITTLE of Dumfriesshire through their son William who emigrated to Canada and then the USA. I noticed you had a different surname for Elisabeth. Her maiden name was passed down to me through family documents. I thought I would offer this information to you in case you think it might be helpful.
Respectfully,
Jason Mrochek
Hi Reiver
Thanks for your quick reply. The Dumfries & Galloway FHS website looks very useful and I'll certainly be ordering the pub you suggest.
Am aware of Scotland's People and that was my source for all the Rule births
You mention your interest in the Farishes, and I was wondering if you have come across Alexander, the shoemaker, before.
There is only one possible Dumfries birth/chr on SP, 28 Apr 1807, in Graitney or Gretna but none of his parent's names Robert or Elizabeth are handed down. Do you think this is my man? He married Isabella Rule on Feb 12th, 1828.
Regards
SC
