This William Kemp, a shoemaker, married Helen Jack in Airth in 1836. Their daughter Elizabeth (Eliza) Kemp emigrated to NZ, arriving in 1870 at Port Chalmers, Dunedin on the Edward P Bouverie. Married a James French Rowland. I now have 12 children of Charles Kemp and Jean Millar as follows. Charles b 25 Oct 1801 Jean 1 May 1803 Agnes 3 Feb 1805 Janet 24 Aug 1806 John 7 Feb 1808 William 6 Jan 1811 Mary 6 Jan 1811 James 4 April 1814 David 28 May 1815 Mary 21 July 1816 Ann about 1818 Robert about 1826 As same direct line as yours, be really interested in the details back from Charles Kemp and Jean Millar. I have their parents as Charles Kemp/Agnes Pirie and John Millar/Jean Armour. All the best David (Aberdeen, Scotland) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
