Son James D. Woodside b.1736 in Irvine,baptized Aug29,1736-a tailor and farmer.
He married Ann Love b. 1741,baptized Dec13,1741, on April 4,1765, in Campbelltown,Argyll.
Their son James Woodside was born in Saltcoats Feb7,1767.

They immigrated to P.E.I., Canada in July,1770 aboard the Annabella, from Campbelltown Argyll.

Ann Love's parents were James Love and Margaret Giffin.

Thank-you.

My maiden name is Margaret Giffin. I thought it was a coincidence. The Giffins came to Scotland from the low countries in Edward the Third's time to teach the local the mechanical mehtods of weaving. I have never met another giffin during my life. My Great grandfather came from Middlesex to Australia. Regards. Margaret Porter I am descended from an Isaac Giffin

Is Elizabeth Wilson any relation to Hannah Wilson born abt 1730 and married to William Giffin born 1/4/1724/25 from Farbough,Londonderry,Ireland or Barberries,Londonderry,Ireland?

I was unaware that the Giffins came to Great Britain from the low countries in the early 14th century to teach the local population the mechanical methods of weaving.Can you possibly give me a source in which I may find more information on this matter?

Could you give me more information on your Isaac Giffin. I also have one in my family line.
