It may not be helpful to you, but it may be to me. My family is from
Kilsyth, and from that time period. Not sure if William is a direct line or
a sibling to one of mine. I will investigate further as this marriage date
may coincide with my Alexander. Following tradition, though, no one in our
family has been named William - hence the sibiling possibility.

Thanks for the info!

>I discovered this weekend that there is a closer FHC to me. While I was
there, one of the volunteers insisted that I at least look at the catalog of
research material for Scotland. It appears that they have dozens of micro
fiche and other such sources. I will have to make trips for years to look
at it all. That's if I get a lot of free Saturday mornings.

parrish records in Renfrew, Argyle, Midlothian, Stirling and Dunbarton for
my William Fergus who married Margaret Roughead/Rochead, this was the most
memorable discovery I made, if not the LEAST helpful. You gotta laugh
sometimes!!

>Now, isn't that helpful to my search?? You can't hit a jackpot every time,
I guess. I suppose these two could have been cousins. Or is it just a
generic listing? I think I'll hold off on plugging this into my tree.
