I am new to this list. I have a query - is there anyone researching the Forbes who lived in Tain, Ross & Cromarty? I am interested who the parents were of: John Forbes, Master Tailor who was born ca 1780 in Tain, Ross & Cromarty. He was married to Jane MacKenzie. They had 9 children:- Jean, Alexander, Anne, Helen, Girzell (I think she was known as Grace)William, Hector, Hugh and John Rufel. Their daughter Grace married Robert Newlands (my husband's Gt. G'father. Thank you. If anyone thinks there may be a connection to this family I would be pleased to hear from them. Jessie Newlands newlands@revelstoke.net
