My gggrandmother was Ellen Tolmie mar Thomas Cairns 1850 Auchinleck, Ayr. Her father was John Tolmie mar Elizabeth Miller. His father was James Tolomie mar. Margaret Marquiss 1804 Auchinleck. His father was John Tolemy mar. Janet Gemill 1761. The Tolmie family was probably in Ayr due to the Highland removals after 1745. The family eventually migrated to the Glasgow area. Family connections include Dick, Houston, Davidson, Riley, Gibson, Gracie, Warnock, McAlpine, Hamilton and Cairns--all Ayr origins.

I am descended from the McAlpines who lived in Mauchline and Auchinleck, Ayrshire from about 1850. My strand of the family came out to Australia in the 1880-1890s and settled around the Cooktown area just north of Cairns in Northern Queensland.

Any connections?

G'Day from Australia, This maybe a long shot but I have an Andrew Tolmie who married a Elizabeth David in Wales.1845. On their marriage Andrew's father John Tolmie Mother not mentioned. But on 3 of their sons their births in Forres in Scotland are John David Tolmie born 1847.
George Miller Haxton Tolmie born 1849.
Thomas Tolmie born 1850.
Having seen your message with a John Tolmie marrying an Ellen Miller I wondered if there was a connection.
They had another 2 sons Charles and Andrew.
Andrew lived in Wales and the other sons in England. Then Thomas came to Australia and lived on the Darling Downs Queensland and he is buried in Toowoomba.
I can be contacted on jeffdor@hotmail.com
Thankyou in anticipation
