Classification: Query
Surnames: AIRD, BROWN, SCOTT, MCVAKE, NORRIS, RAE, WILSON, RONNALD, MCCRON, FINDLAY, REID,
I am looking for relatives and proof of my Aird line.
I know that my great great grandmother Christina came to the US with her husband Hugh Brown. They first settled in Jefferson County, Alabama, was there family there?
In the early 1900's they moved to the Staunton, Macoupin, Illinois area. Living in Livingston & Williamson, Madison County, Illinois. Jessie Aird a sister to Christina lived in near by Gillespie, Macoupin, Illinois. It is believed they moved for better coal mining jobs and to be nearer to this sister.
Jessie and Christina were daughters of James Aird and Marion MCVake.
Marion MCVake was the daughter of WIlliam MCVake and Janet Scott.
James Aird was the son of Matthew Aird and Christina Brown.
Matthew's father was also Matthew Aird who married twice.
First to Alice "Helen" Norris (Matthew Norris and Rachel Rae)
Second to Margaret McCron (James McCron & Janet Reid)
It is here that the questions come in.
It the first Matthew the son of James Aird and Jean Wilson
Or is he the son of James Aird and Helen Findlay.
And who then is the Parents of James Aird
James Aird and Jane RONNALD or James Aird and someone else.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks
