> Hello Michael Helen Gemmell married James Wyl[l]ie 1778 not sure if it was Fenwick or Stewarton, James was one of the Wylies from Mosside, Helen and James are my 4 x g grandparents. I dont have any confirmed information about John Gemmell but they lived in the Kirktown part of Fenwick village. There are a lot of Gemmells of various spellings in the parish of Fenwick. James Wylie and Helen Gemmell had 13 children, the 7th child Alexander married Agnes Riddell I think in Stewarton, and their daughter Agnes Riddell Wylie married William White and set sail for Dunedin, New Zealand in 1849. The Wylies had a bonnet mill in Stewarton, Alexander died between 1834 and 1841, and Agnes took over the running of the mill.
