FORREST - LOOKER family
- Cambusnethan
Elizabeth Forrest (c1830 - 1910) and William Looker (c1830 - 1902) married in Cambusnethan - 1850. They had ten children, all born in Scotland (several in Wishaw - Lanarkshire). Believe they worked for Lord Belhaven - William was a coachman or groom. Sometime before 1881, the family migrated southwards - ending up in London, Middx., Hampshire and New Zealand. Would love to know who Elizabeth's parents were ... she may have been born in Douglas ...
Children were: Margaret, James, Jessie, Jane, William, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Graham (d in infancy), Alfred and Graham.
