Hello Doug, I was reading this message board and was excited to stumble across your entry. I am trying to find information on my grandmother's paternal line and would appreciate any help you can give. My great-grandmother was Helen Agnes Headley Charmers McCreath, born 1895 in Lanark Scotland, but later moved to Australia with her family where she settled, married and raised her own family. Her father was William Dill McCreath, born 1864 Scotland, married 1884 in Ayr to Elizabeth McCreadie - he was a blacksmith, as noted on Helen's birth certificate. His parents were (I think) David McCreath and Helen Hamilton Headley, married October 1852 in Colmonell Ayr Scotland.
Looking forward to hearing from you, Joanne
