Alan has a late ex-wife & living family comprising wife, children, grandchildren, siblings & their families, all of whom are omitted from Wiki profiles in the interest of personal data security in line with current WikiTree practice. Any relatives who wish to create their own profiles are welcome to do so, using the same WT conventions. If so, I’m happy to help if desired.
Alan is interested in all his ancestors and the life and social history around them. These profiles hold much information -
John Potter, a Scottish Covenanter, was captured in Ayrshire in 1680 and imprisoned at Edinburgh, then hanged at the Mercat Cross. His wife Isobell Callender, equally devout, participated in the short-lived Gibbites group (aka The Sweet Singers).
William Runciman eldest of 9 children, owned his own fishing boat manned by a crew of 8, all of whom drowned in a storm off Crail harbour in 1765.
and
John Kirkland, furthest back on this line, born about 1705 in Forfarshire, Scotland.

Thanks for your part in making this information available. I have traced my paternal line back to the 1850s in Dundee and have found James and David to be a recurring first names throughout. Also I have confirmed through shipping records that my surname Kay was spelt Keay before the move to Australia in the late 1850s. I stumbled across the Crail story and wonder if I may have a connection with James. I am new to wikitree and have not been able to piece together a lineage before the 1850s as yet. Cheers, Paul Kay
