« on: Wednesday 23 June 21 20:00 BST (UK) »
Looking for any info regarding ships related to Captain Alexander Wilkie and/or any info regarding his emigration to American colonies mid 1700s.  His father James buried in Fordyce 1749. Mother Isabel Peterkin buried Fordyce 1718. Alexander Wilkie was baptised in Fordyce Scotland 9/2/1706, father James Wilkie.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
