Hi Linda,

Thanks for your reply. I think Jane Reid's (b. Mar 1817, m. Alexander Thom on 4 Apr 1834) parents were Robert Reid (b. 29 Mar 1788) and Agnes Walker. His father's name was Robert Reid (m. Elizabeth Banks).
You'll find more information on www.ayrshireroots.com starting with Jane Reid (Mar 1817) via the Ayrshireroots Surname Database List.
I hope this helps.

Regards,

Jeff - Perth, Western Australia.

I have an Alexander Thom and Mary Brown on my tree. I am descended from their daughter Elizabeth b1782 who married David Auld in 1805. THey had a son Benjamin Auld b1807 who married Jane Richmond and had a son David Richmond Auld b1850 who married Helen Morrison. They had Harry Auld (my ggrandfather) Would love to hear from anyone who shares my ancestors.

Thanks

Hi!

I have information on Isaac Park and Margaret Thom if you want to get in touch.

Kind regards

Hello, Is your Thom family of the line from around Ayershire, Lanark, Cadder, Scotland? If so do you have a George, m.Helen Irvine, son George Thom m. Margaret Begg? Thanks for any info you can supply.

Many thanks for the contact, but sorry to say that I don't have George Thom and Helen Irvine in my family.

All the Thom family that I have are in Ayrshire.

Cheers and all the best in your search,
Linda..

Hello Susan,
The Alexander Thom and Mary Brown you mention in your message are my g.g.g.g. Grandparents. I have Elizabeth's date of birth as 17th of March 1782. Her youngest brother Alexander is my g.g.g.grandfather.

Incidentally, my grandmother's maiden name was Euphemia Lindsay Christie who married John Thom on the 28th of March 1913, in Stevenston. They lived in Saltcoats.

Could there be a connection between my Grandmother and you?

Regards,

Jeff Thom,

Thanks Jeff. Don't know if Euphemia Christie is related to me? It would be on my husband's side and I haven't fully explored there yet! I suspect not as his family were from Aberdeen and Perth mainly.
