I originally posted this direct to Rachel but as there maybe others
interested in these families I will post it to the list.


I also have a loose interest in William BYERS and Margaret WILSON. Their
daughter Janet married Richard HIGGINS. Although they are not directly
in my line I have for some reason compiled a considerable amount of
information on the families although I don't have an Agnes as one of
Williams' children.

George WILSON of Mt Seymour is the son of John WILSON and Helen
DENHOLM. Helen was my gggg aunt.

Regards
Bob
