Hi Graeme I am descended from Agnes AULD who would appear to be a sister of your David m Agnes ADAMS. My Agnes m John SLOAN 2 Sep 1825 at Abbey (Paisley). I have not done much research on this line but have noted down some AULD families I have found in 1841 and 1851 censuses, which include yours. I have also looked briefly on the IGI for prior families and there are good candidates for parents of both John AULD and Elizabeth CAMPBELL, although I have not searched further. Please contact me off list if you have not found any of this information and I would be happy to share same. Regards Bob

Bob Thank you for your prompt reply. Indeed the family line is through John Auld & Elizabeth Campbell. I found a marriage in February 1788 in Kilmarnock,Ayr as the only possible marriage listed on the IGI when I went looking after posting to the list yesterday. Is Ayr far from Paisley? I could not really identify a John Auld birth. David is a very strong first name for the first son - ??? John father is named David. Is there any family existing still in the area besides yourself? Can you give me details of the Auld families from the 1841- & 1851 census Please - as I have no access to them? Can I access them over the internet? I have a lot of details on the australian end about what happened to David Auld - Lockhart Paterson. I would be interested in sending the ozzie details to you if you want. I am not sure what else to ask you so I will await your reply. many thanks Leonie. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Pollock" <bobpollock@paradise.net.nz> To: <SCT-RENFREW-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2003 8:44 AM Subject: [Renfrew] Auld- Paterson, Paisley. > Hi Graeme > I am descended from Agnes AULD who would appear to be a sister of your > David m Agnes ADAMS.
