You will see that it was I who referred to the Wire making factory and I confess I've known about the Pickle factory and the Wire Making factory for a very long time, but time and events havent caused me to identify those in the Rowat family who were running these businesses. I now find that I have no FINDLAYSON. I do have FINDLAY. The information you have given me now will cause me to trace the names back. My Gt Gt Grandfather was Robert ROWAT b 20 September 1841 and he married a Campbell lass from Mull. Can you give me the identity of the Robert who married Margaret please? The common ancestry is probably in William ROWAT b 1743 who married Agnes HORN b 28 August 1744. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
