-------------------------

I read with interest about your George Blyth.
My tree is back to Walter Blyth who m. Margaret Pate in 1792 in South Leith.
The only son that I know of is John who m.Jane Banantine in 1818 in Edinburgh
parish. They had several children, the oldest of whom is my direct line-Walter
who left and went to South Shields in NBL, where he married and stayed.
He was a mariner so presumably went from Leith.
What I find interesting is that his oldest son was George.This is the 1st
mention of the name in the family, and there were none no Georges on his
wife's side.
So could your George be the younger brother of my John??
In Edinburgh they were in Edinburgh Parish, St Cuthberts,Leith and one
daughter m. in Cannongate.
Cheers, Betty.
