Hello Julie, Did you try scotlandspeople? I put in a query for Angus, between 1730-1770, & 12 were listed for a Charles Findlay. I also have found purchasing a will for parents or siblings has brought more family members into the picture, including land ownership. Do you have any connection with barrie/y families as there is a Julie Parks in one of their families.
