Hi David
Yep, knew that - I'm secure on all the links down from Mungo and his family. I was wondering about upward (older) connections. The way the name Mungo spreads though my line, the Parks and other associated families suggests that Archibald Kerr/Effie Stoddart had a Mungo known to them: the dating of the cluster around Lasswade in MLO (in the 1760s and earlier) looks right; Archibald Kerr/Effie Stoddart are just over the ELO border, as are the stomping grounds of Mungo Kerr/Helen Lillie and family. However, class and profession appear to be getting in the way - as miners and colliers they were well out of the mainstream at the time - with little in the way of OPR entries.
