Hello Listers, A few years back I was contacted by a May Welsh from this list who had a connection to my Grandparents, she was at their Diamond Anniversary, and I recently found a few old photos with who we believe was her mother Maisie Welsh but we as yet cannot prove identity so am hoping May is still looking in on the list and will contact me please.. My Birth father Jim would love to connect to her as well as he believes he knew MayJ If anyone on the list is researching WELSH in the Borders areas I would love to make you acquaintance please? Cheers Jim Patterson

Hi I have Welsh ancestors in Borders area--Don't have my family tree program loaded back on my new computer; (although have back up of info from old one thankfully), so trying to pull names up from memory--which isn't always accurate. Maurice Welsh had a son with Jane Ketley (I have five or six different spellings) in Sanquhar area, aprox 1860-70's. Think the son's name was Charles. He had two older half siblings who were fathered by Richard Halliday, and a younger sister who used the mother's surname of Ketley. The family is listed in the 1881 census (eldest son, Archibald Halliday, had moved to England and married by then--I descend from this line). I do have more accurate information in family tree program--this will give me incentive to get it loaded on new computer! Have been starting my own business, so time has been spent doing that instead of research lately Cindy -----Original Message----- From: dumfries-galloway-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:dumfries-galloway-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jim Patterson Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 11:40 AM To: Dumfries-Galloway roots web list Subject: [DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY] Any Welsh Family-DFGFHS Mem May Welsh?
