I am new to the list and would like to hear from anyone who may have information on my Vance line. Details I know are John Vance born 1742 died 1799. Married ??Jane Brown about 1770. Two children Margaret born c1775 and George Washington born c1782 I am descended from Margaret who married George Balbirnie in1797 in Coagh They had 2 children born in Ireland-Robert Anstruther in Larne in 1798 and Jane in Ballymena c 1800. This Vance line died out as Margarets brother George didn't marry. Robert Anstruther added the name Vans/Vance to his name in 1854 in honour to his mother's family. Would like to know John Vances pedigree or any general information if anyone can help Regards Trish
