Hello Olive, sorry not to get back to you for a while. thanks for those directions to the N.S.

Dear Louise, at last my Dalrymple friend has returned from her trip. I phoned her tonight and lo and behold the descendent she visited in America is visiting Stranraer at the moment! I am to meet her probably tomorrow, so I will be able to put you two in touch, which will be much easier than me relaying everything. Apparently she has done a lot of research, and is on the Internet. I will report back as soon as possible. Diana

Dear Heather, can you send your address and then I will send it.

Thank you Elizabeth for that information. That's settles it. Diana
12. [WIG] RORISON [1]
Dear Lorraine, this is probably not very helpful, but my great aunt Elizabeth Kerr (1868 - 1895) married a Robert Rorrison in Whithorn(?), she died aged 27 and they had no children. I think they were only married for a few months. I know nothing more about him, whether he remarried or what became of him. There is a Rorrison family connected to Ardwell, I always have meant to ask if they had a relative Robert. Diana

I'm fit and well, but unable to go far from home as my wife and I are looking after our 40 yr. old son who has severe learning disabilities. Hence the need to undertake family research at arms length. >From family records and basic research to date I've succesfully traced my paternal ancestry back to Andrew McCracken (the handw
