I had established this for the first time in 1981, when I hitchhiked to Creetown while studying in London. Needless to say, I was thrilled an enjoyed interviewing the few Octogenarians in the town (Frasers, Nixons, and the like). My great-great Grandfather, John Sheridan, was supposedly born in 1828 and married a woman named Elizabeth Pringle. He died in 1873 and Elizabeth died in 1905. Elizabeth had also re-married after John's death - a man named John Mackay. I am most interested in finding the following information: John Sheridan's birthplace and home prior to Creetown. Any other information on his ancestors would be great as well. John and Elizabeth's location and date of marriage. Either of their exact birth and death dates. More information on Elizabeth's parents and siblings. Whether there is any merit to the "family rumor" that Elizabeth was the daughter of a Scottish Baron. >From where my Great Gandfather's middle name (Denniston) came. I really appreciate any help you would be able to give to me. All the best, Kevin Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
