Brick Wall - Scotland > US: IA - Wish 92 I would really like some help with my Scottish side of my family. My 3xgf was born in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cameron-17545

• I want to add his parents, but I only have VERY minimal information on them;
  • Hugh Cameron, b. abt. 27 Dec. 1800, Ayrshire, Scotland, UK I have nothing on his death or proof of birth.
  • Married: 14 Dec 1823, Galston, Ayrshire, Scotland TO
  • Cunningham McFadzen, b. abt 1806, Ayrshire, Scotland. Her father MIGHT be James, but I have no proof.
