I think he picked up most info from the records office in Edinburgh. On the face of it there seem two prospective sets of Airth parents for John Kemp (b 1672/1673). The names of the recorded children of John Kemp and Janet Mcklay (Macklay) don't give any clues. They are Jannet (1708), John (1710), Margaret (1713) and Margaret (1715) IGI shows two "Lybra Rae" candidates. One is born in Airth, c 1639, however this shows a spouse as Hobart Campbell. The other is born in Larbert, c 1842 and shows the spouse as Robert Kemp. By the way the recorded children of Robert Kemp (also Kempt) and Lybra Rae (also Rae, Rhae) are Jonet (1666) Agnes (1667), Janet (1670), John (29/04/1672) and Jannet (1684). All born in Airth apart from Janet who was Larbert. All the best David Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
