Hi Danielle,

I have quite a lot of information on David Ogilvie from Tayport. David's daughter Isabella born 1838 Tayport married James Bowman 1859. Quite a long line of descendants in New Zealand. Most moved to Perth. We are am interested to learn more about your side. My husband is descended from David.

Regards,
Judithe

hi Judithe, I have sent you a message into your inbox for sharing of information. David was a younger brother to my connection, and was the only one who stayed in Scotland. Would love to hear from you, send me a message to my inbox.
