My connection starts in Renfrew just outside of Glasgow SCT. Where Sarah Sloan bc 1836 married John Reid in 31 Dec 1857 at Paisley. Sarah's parents were John Sloan bc 1806 and Agnes Auld bc 1807. From a Census records there were othe Sloan's living nearby. If there is any possible connection to your family I will hunt out the old data and see what we can come up with. Sarah and John lived in Dunbarton until they emigrated to NZ after their third child was born arriving in Dunedin in 1862. They had a further seven children in NZ. Sarah's brother's and sister as I know them to be were; Alexander bc 1826, John bc 1828, Elizabeth bc 1831 and William bc 1838. I suspect that John Sloan's father was Alexander bc 1781 but haven't confirmed this. If this is correct his brothers and sister were: Robert bc 1801, William bc 1816, Hugh bc 1821 and Sarah bc 1826. Hi Alan, my Sloan's came from Dunbarton as well (ours were spelt with the "e" for a while here and without the e for a peroid of about 30 years). My James Kennedy Sloane was born in Belfast? in approximately 1830 and i have found a William Kennedy Sloan born approx 1828 Belfast Ireland. William married Jane Harris in 1852 in Glasgow. They had issue: James b. 1855 Robert b. 1857 William Arnot b 1859 Jane Tait b. 1861 Charles b. 1863 Mary Reid b. 1865 John Campbell b. 1867 Jessie Muir b.1869 Campbell White b. 1870 Edward b. 1872 George Scott b. 1873 My James Kennedy Sloane gives his birthplace as Belfast on his marriage certificate in 1856 in Victoria Australia (then coming to NZ approx 1863) but on the certificate of his son born in 1858 (William James Sloane) he states that he was born in Comber, County Down. His parents were Robert Sloane and Elizabeth Kennedy. Robert was a farmer. Any tie up?
