Searching McLauchlan family. Gggrandfather James W. McLauchlan b.1804 in Scotland (city inknown). Was a schoolmaster in Crook, Durham County, England. Married Elizabeth White. Children: John, Margaret, James, William, and Joseph.

I am familiar with your particular fa mily of MdLaughlans.

Hello:
I saw your message which appeared on the Ayrshire list today and with my luck, this is not the same McLaughlin family. In my tree, there is a Hugh McLaughlin born ? who married Agnes Bell, probably in Stevenston, Ayrshire in 1887. I don't know his parents names.

James W. McLauchlan(b.1804) (gggrandfather) is the beginning of our tree at this time. He was born in Scotland, but no one seems to know where. I have a relative doing research who has been to Scotland and England twice...has found the old schoolhouse in Crook, Durham County, England where he taught..but as of this time unable to find his definite place of birth. He was married to Elizabeth White and they had five children, the first, John (ggrandfather) came to the US with most of his children (grown). I believe other siblings remain in UK....or Canada. After his first wife died at age 33, he later married Ann Thompson and they had two children.

I am interested in the surname of Spier, Allan Spier was b abt 1783 in Kilmarnock, aye, scotland,
any help would be appreciated
