Hello,

I was most interested in your mention of Margaret as I am researching SYM/SYME/SIM/SIME in Ayrshire. Do you happen to know who Margaret's parents were?

The IGI lists Margaret & David's marriage on 3 Jun 1814, in Stevenston, with the banns earlier being posted on 14 May 1814 in Ayr. It also lists the christenings of the following children:

Janet - 26 Mar 1815 - Stevenston
Margaret - 30 Aug 1818 - Kilwinning
Janet - 30 Jul 1826 - Dundonald
Ann - 22 Jun 1828 - Dundonald
Boyd Miller - 4 Jul 1824 - Dundonald - [patron submission]

If you come across any further information on Margaret's background, I would really appreciate knowing.

Cathy.
