Sarah - very much appreciate your offer. I'm looking for the following
families:
Alexander Whiteford and his wife Margaret (Cain) who would have been born
about 1790. They died in Kintyre. Alexander was a farm labourer.
Their son James, born Campbeltown 1826. James migrated to Melbourne in
1852. James's sister Catherine born about 1820. She married Donald
Galbraith of Gigha (have we corresponded about this couple previously???) in
Campbeltown in 1847. They both died in 1890. Donald was a farm labourer.
Thanks very much for any information.
Anne Whiteford
