Hello:
I am looking for the correct John Jarvie, Sr., farmer of Gaval who was the father of John Jarvie, Jr., born in Kilsyth, April 22, 1828 and baptized July 27, 1828. The mother was Agnes Anderson of Boghouse.
John Jarvie, Jr. married Mary Gray in the Torrance of Campsie October 11, 1851. They had at least 16 children four of whom did certainly survive to adulthood: Alexander Jarvie, (my great grandfather), born in Barony, Lanark December 10, 1856 - he and his family came out to Canada after WW I; John Jarvie, born August 29, 1867 in Saint Ninians, (Bannockburn) Stirling; Isabella Jarvie, born May 24, 1873 in Hamilton, Lanark; and, finally, Agnes Jarvie, born June 21, 1877 in Motherwell, Lanark. There are other children, of John Jarvie, Jr., and his wife Mary Gray, who may have survived to adulthood: Janet Jarvie, born in Barony, Lanark 9/13/1860; Mary Jarvie, born in Rutherglen, Lanark 10/31/1862; Elizabeth Jarvie, born in Rutherglen, Lanark 11/27/1864; Margaret Jarvie, born in Hamilton, 5/28/1869 and Jean Jarvie, born in Hamilton 6/20/1871. I am looking for the descendants of, and what happened to, any of these siblings of Alexander Jarvie born in December 1856.
At the time my great grandfather, Alexander Jarvie, left for Canada in April 1923, he had been residing with his sister a Mrs. MacMillan/McMillan of 176A Merry Street in Motherwell.
Would anyone find out which sister Jarvie married this Mr. MacMillan and anything about them and what became of their descendants?
Thank you in advance for your help.
