Hi Dave

Do you have a connection with John Thom who went from Ayrshire to
Scarborough, Canada, in about 1825?

Janet Galbraith, who married David Thom (1799-1820) on18th December 1818, in
Stair.

being born on 23rd January 1794, in Stair, Father-David Galbraith, (although
this has yet to be verified.)
> The couple had one child before David's untimely death. After that event
it is possible that she re-married, but I have no evidence of this. As yet,
I have been unable to find any record of her death.

> I know that several Galbraith families have been in the Stair area over
many years (my maternal grandfather William Henry Shannon was minister there
for 40 years) and I would be pleased to hear from anyone who may have a link
to Janet, or knowledge of her life after being prematurely widowed.
