Dear Mark,Christina Young was born 1824 Wigtown, Dumfries way. John Thomson was born 1824 to George Thomson and Martha McKinlay in Derry, Ireland. He must have had brothers and probably sisters but I have not found them yet. The names John, James, George, William have been passed down for several generations so you may recognise a connection.One of his relatives went over to NZ. And then Australia. a John Thomson b. Lanarkshireabt 1797 and married to Grizzel Shearer They all lived at Kyneton, Victoria, Australia.Have all their info. if you are interested.Also my uncle George and Gt.grandfather James Bell Thomson settled out in Queensland.
Mary Thomson who you mentioned does not tie up with the one I am looking for My Mary was born 1851 Barony Glasgow, after that I do not know where she went. likewise her sister Martha b. 7 May 1855 Bridgetown Lanark. Jean B. 9 May 1857 Loudoun Ayr Scotland and John b. 19 Jan 1860 Newtown Lesmahagow. The family were mostly farmers with an occasional stint in the mines. Some of them married into Hair, Shearer, Rankin, families. Does this ring any bells !!Also we have Bell, Young, Anderson connections.
Hope this is of some use.regards Margaret.
