Hi, I am very new to this site, a complete novice! I discovered it last night whilst searching under the surname Ross from Port Seton and coming across your conversation with Hannah in Australia. Hannah is my mums cousin. My mum is called *M. She is the daughter of John Allan the builder who married Hannah Ross, daughter of John Ross you talk about from Lorimer Place, Cockenzie. My mum is still in touch with Hannah's sister Margaret and also their aunt, my great Aunt, Margaret Lawrence (nee Ross). She has moved from Cockenzie to Edinburgh where she stays with her son *R. Uncle Peter Lawrence died many years ago. I stay in a village about 8 miles from Port Seton and have regular contact with my parents. We often have family discussions about the family history of Cockenzie and Port Seton. My dads family originate from there as well. He is a Thomson and his mother was a Donaldson. He has a lot of old photos of all the local fishermen which may be of interest. I don't know how far you have got with identifying the Ross family from the last 100 years but I'm sure I will be able to get most of the answers if you still need them.
Hopefully this may be of interest to you and between Hannah, you and I we will be able to name the most recent Ross's!
Hope to hear from you soon, Hannah (Another one!)
