I'm looking for the marriage of Thomas McCANDLISH to Jean _______ . It would have been between the mid 1790s to early 1800s because Jean was born in 1779 and had a child in 1803. I think (but am not sure) that Jean's maiden name was McCANDLISH and her married name was the same. An alternative maiden name might have been BROWN. The children of Thomas and Jean were all born in Ayrshire, Scotland. I don't know the name of the parish or the city. The names of the children were Mary McCANDLISH (b. 1803); Jean/Jane (b. abt 1810); Thomas (b. abt 1818); maybe Charles; and maybe Eliza (b. abt 1826). After 1847, the couple moved to the Boston MA area, USA. Any help in finding the marriage record of Thomas and Jean in Ayrshire would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Cecilia
