Hi there; Just read your post about the family tree in the book dating back to 802. I'm interested in the scot's line from William 1776 - 1843. I have traced our Ironside line -through my dad's line back to a William Ironside (born in that general time frame) who married Isabel Tocher, and the family is based around Arbroath, Dundee, Forfar and a place named Drumdollo. The were an abundance of blacksmiths and ironworkers in their occupations, as well as crofters, weavers and tailors. I have hit the proverbial brick wall with this William, and being in Canada, haven't got the resources to go any further to search for him. Would you be able to tell me if there's any further info in the book on that particular William. I don't recognize the names in your line that came to Canada, but I'd be interested in whether we have any cousins in common. Thanks for your time.... Mina (Ironside) McGean
