Hi Michael,
We do not have much. From Scotland.
James HAY b 1736 m Ann Riach Kirkmichael 1761 had as follows: Unknown 17.10.1762, Isobel 31.05.1764, James 5.02.1780, John 3.08.1766, Nathaniel 14.01.1769, & my ggg granfather Robert 31.03.1774 All bap Kirkmichael with mention of Achlichnie,
Robert m Katharine Ogilvy 1798 in Forfar, had Barbara 1798 & Ann 1801. caught sheep stealing at Alyth, tried Perth court, sent to hulk and Transported to Australia.
From here we have lots, but so many here have researched in Australia 2 of us decided to try tracing what happed to his family? they all just seem to have disappeared. We believe Lewis m Margaret Watson maybe James parents this is not proven.
I am new to the internet and Genealogy, so need all the help I can get. Can you help? even if we are not linked just some info on how & where to look.
Bev (Love) Hay
