Hi Nancy,
My grandfather was John Manson and I know that he was named after his great grandfather John and the dates certainly tie in with the dates you quote for 2 x great grandfather Samuel being one of his sons.
I am missing a large chunk of the chain as unfortunately my grandfather died in John died in 1983 whilst I was still a teenager and at that time I didn't have much interest in tracing my family history.
I don't know if the people who trace the Manson dynasty start off at the back and work forward and back or if they start at their own generation and work it back from there.So it could be that my family line has been traced by someone in this board already.
My grandfather John was born in Kilmarnock in the early 1900's and I believe he had brothers called Thomas, Robert, James and sisters Margaret, Violet and Jennifer.
They would have all been born between the late 1880/90's and about 1910.
My father is James Manson who was born in Kilmarnock in 1936 and he has a brother called Ronald and sister called Dreena.
As I say there is the gap between great grandfather x 3 and the 1880/90's as the information never got passed down.
I hope you can find the link between myself and the others on the board.
Kind Regards
Jason
