Peter:

Well,our first couple William and Rose Ann Devlin had a daughter Ann Devlin
born c.1821 in Ireland.

Ann Devlin married James Caldwell, their first child was born in Johnstone,
Renfrewshire, Scotland and the rest of the family born in Ardrossan,
Ayrshire, Scotland, not that far from Glasgow.

You are lucky to have had some clues. We have nothing. And we've looked on
the IGI, Obituaries, birth, marriage and death records and have come up with
ZIP.
