Hi Valerie and other Esler devotees,
I am very curious about the research you have done into the Esler family, Valerie. I am a descendant of Andrew Esler (1814-1902) through his daughter Jane (1843-1921) and her son Thomas McClean (1877-1944), my grandfather. I have some details of the line which I would be pleased to share if you would find it useful. I realize that the replies posted are from the early noughties but I hope that you are still reading the message boards.
I am very keen to know more about the German connection and the 3 Esler brothers who went to Co. Antrim. Where is this history to be found?
Have you traced Andrew's line back through his father David (b.1789) and mother Ann Sanderson (b. 1789, East Lothian)? I have no more information than that. Can you help?
Any assistance very gratefully received. Warm regards, Anita
