Hello Margaret, Delighted to compare notes, but not sure where to start. We appear to be a generation out, for my Alexander Garden's father was Alexander Garden. Alexander Garden 1815-1885 had a sister Janet 1830 -? but my John Garden 1795-1859 had only one sister Margaret 1788-? There is probably a link, but I appear to be on the wrong line. I would like to hear from you regarding the above. Alistair
