Hi Robyn, I have noted your interest in the Blue and Wilson families from West Kilbride. I have gathered a reasonable amount of information on these families which I would be happy to share with you. My ancestor was John WILSON (married to Margaret LINDSAY) brother of Janet WILSON who married Daniel BLUE. Janet WILSON was a cousin of Elizabeth WILSON who married Hugh BLUE. I would be interested in making contact and sharing more details.
