I replied to them today also, I included all the info I have on the Dodd's,you might also want to read that one. I'll quickly run through it and I hope I don't miss anyone. My Great Grandmother was "Sarah Dodds" born abt.1825 in Maybole,Aryshire, she died June 20,1902 in Ayr,Ayrshir, at the age of 77. She married William Agnew, born abt.1819 in Colmonell,Ayrshire,who died Oct.01.1891 in St.Quivox,Ayrshire. Their children were, James-1843, Jane-1846, Helen-1848, Marion-1852, Sarah-1858, Jane-1860, Mary-1863.(I guess the first Jane must of passed away). Sarah Dodds(Agnew)mother was named Mary Dodds,born abt.1808 and no father was listed. Mary was listed in the 1881 Scotland Census as being age 73, and living in Lanarkshire. I do know that there were 2 other Mary Dodds and families, one living in Wigtownshire,and the other in Ayrshire,they had been born approx. in 1796, but I did not find any Sarah's in those families. I listed the other two families with all the names in the letter I wrote previously to yours(the person who lives in Ayr), so it will be posted and you can read over that also. I hope this helps, and lucky you for being able to visit Scotland(I'm jealous!). Good Luck! Teresa Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
