(Dec 08

I am researching my Hamilton family tree in New Zealand. James's father was Alexander who was married to Mary Kirkwood.
James married a Marion Turnbull Whitelaw (born 1834)from East Linton, in Ballarat, Australia in 1857. They emigrated to NZ after their son Alexander was born, Alexander being my Grandfather.
I can find no reference as to what ship & port they may have left from in Scotland.

Brunton or Smith Families
(Nov 08 Green)
My mother Jessie Brunton Snee was born in Dunbar (1932). Her mother was Jessie Brunton Smith (1908) and her grandparents were Jessie Brunton (born in Dunbar) and Thomas Smith (blacksmith born in Tranent).
I have traced quite a bit of the history of the family, but would love to hear from any relatives who could give me more up to date information. I never knew my great grandparents, and sadly my gran, Jessie Brunton Smith died aged 70 and my mother Jessie Brunton Snee died aged 34yrs.
Jessie Brunton Snee has one living daughter, Maureen age 63yrs and I am sure there are cousins still around - any help would be greatly appreciated.
