Hi, I'm hoping that someone out there can help me.

I have managed to trace my dad's line as far back as my great-great-grandmother, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth had an illegitimate son, John in 1868, Laurencekirk, Kincardineshire, Scotland (my great-grandfather) with a James Lunie (looks like that's his name on John's marriage cert). She later married a ? Martin.

John married Isabella Young Middleton in 1889 at Westhaven Farm, Panbride, Angus, Scotland. Isabella is the illegitmate daughter of Helen Middleton & poss. David Young (that's the name on the marriage cert).

John and Isabella had the following children:

William, dob unknown
Cecil, dob unknown (believed to have been employed as a nurse in Dundee)
Walter, dob 1888, Barry, Angus, Scotland
Charles, dob 1890, Panbride, Angus, Scotland, later emigrated to Canada, married Lilian Sarah Darlow. Had son, Charles Jr.
James Watt (my grandfather), dob 1892, Inverkeilor, Angus, Scotland, married Agnes Kerr of Arbroath (dau. of John Kerr & Jane Robert Kerr), dob 1895. He died 1949, Thornton, Fife, Scotland.
John, dob. abt 1892, Arbirlot, Angus, Scotland, later emigrated to Canada, believed to have died in Toronto.
David Middleton, dob 1896, Arbirlot, Angus, Scotland
Janet, dob. abt 1900, Arbirlot, Angus, Scotland
Jessie Helen, dob. abt 1900, Angus, Scotland.

Anyone have any info on this family? I would love to find out some details about my great-aunts & uncles.

Regard,

Kay.
