Any relevant > Chalmers data would be very gratefully received! __________ Tough probably irrelevant, one never knows! I have a John CHALMERS (b.1792/3, carting contractor) marrying Ann Simpson. Their daughter, Jane CHALMERS (b. 1806, d. 04 November 1893) married James Munn. The two of them were my g-g-g grandparents. I also have an Agnes PARKER (from Lancashire) who married James SHAW 20 August 1785. Their daughter, Catherine SHAW (b. 11 Dec. 1794) married William BROCKLEBANK 26 May 1817 at Haversham, Westmoreland, England. Their son, John, was my great great grandfather. Hmmmmmm? Jean Brocklebank
