Thanks for your message. No, I don't know Williams aprents. I have come to a dead end. I can find no record of his marriage to Eliz Shillinglaw, so I suspect that they never married. Also Elizabeths name is the only one to appear on their sons marriage certificate, no mention of the father at all. The only reason I know that Eliz and William are desendants is because of old relatives, now deceased, telling my aunty.
I am desperate to find out more about my fathers family.I do know that there son William was born in 1835, West Ruther Parish, Berwicshire Spottiswoode, Midlothian. He died may 1907. he had two mariages, The first to Catherine Pratt who died around 1873-1875(they had 7 children) and he married Grace McLaren at Currie, Midlothian.Millar, McLaren had one child, my grandfather. If you can help in any way I would be very grateful.
Fiona.
