My Byers line in Scotland ended with Balfour BYRES and Janet CLARK who married in 1791 St Cuthberts Edinburgh. Around 1800 they seem to have moved down to London. My ancestor was born there in 1804, William Archer BYERS. He died in 1835. I know that Balfour's father was Archibald BYERS. Due to the popularity of her name, I am stuck with Janet Clark. Archibald married Margaret HOUSTON/E. This is all on the IGI. Archibald's father was Thomas and his father was Margaret HENRYSON/HENDERSON. I can't get any further back with Thomas and I am seriously desperate to. Please please please help if you can! Chloe Chloe.Perren@btopenworld.com
