Colin , Which is a good name One of my grandsons is Colin Jones. I have printed out the information and I will dig back in my files. I think my James father was Robert. If we are all from Kincardine and ended up in Brechin we are most likely from the same bunch. I went to Scotland for 2 weeks in 2001. I was very lucky as I had a Grandmother from Brechin who filled my head with stories about when she was young and her trips back and forth from Brechin to New York City. Therefore I had good information. then on a Scottish chat line I met a wonderful woman born in Brechin now in CT. and she sent me more information so that when I went over I had names and addresses. The people were so wonderful to us. I am an Episcopal Chaplain and I got in touch with the Priest at the church they attended in 1888 and when we got there they had a tea for me and a cake that said Welcome Home Mary. It is something I will never forget. Then we went to the Brechin Cathedral and came around the corner to a huge stone that was my GGG Grandparents. I cried and my husband did not know what had happened but to me it was wonderful. They had died back in the 1860s. From the census I had the address of my GG grandparents and the people invited me to come sit on the stoop with them. Marykirk, Lauerancekirk and several other little towns in Kincardine are very small and the church yards are very old.. The tomb stones have not been keep up so reading them is hard. We were there in April and walked 12 church yards in the rain and cold wind. It is only about a 10 min drive from Angus to Kincardine. Little country roads. We rented a car as the train did not go where we wanted to go. My Scotch familys are Bruce, Cooper , Duncan, Burness, Low and so many more. On the Burness side my GGGG GRandmother Helen Burness was a cousin to Robert Burns the poet who was born Robert Burness in Kincardine. I belong to the Scottish Clans of N Tex and I carry the Bruce Clan colors and wear the Bruce Clan Plaid. I see you are in Canada and I am in North , TX so we are far apart. Good luck with your search. I am searching Scottish Welsh English and French Huguenot. Mary Jones
