Hi fellow listers, posting family interests Laing (begins James and Margaret Howieson 1775), Newton and Cockpen Midlothian; Robertson, Newton Midlothian; Hook (Charles and Ann Smith) Lasswade, Edinburgh; Richard Howieson and Jean Brown 1672 English Parish Midlothian. Particularly interested in a Alexander Robertson and his family. His grandaughter Margaret b 1692 married a Alexander Laing in Newton. I think one of their children, possibly John b 1715 may have been father of James Laing b around 1740. Does anyone know of this family? thanks Margaret
