Looking for Elizabeth Conway Farmer or her family.she was born Aug.15 1908 at Baldridgeburn Dunfermline Scotland. Her father-Robert Farmer, mother- Helen Farmer nee Hamilton, they were married Feb. 15 1895 in Dunfermline.Her sister Helen Law Farmer and brother Robert James Farmer were sent to the Quarrier's Home in 1910 and a few years later shipped off to Canada.'British Home Children' they were called! My mother Helen and her brother Robert are now gone. I only learned of this the end of May this year while on my way to visit Family,a fellow passanger on the train told me of the story. PLEASE if you can help me get in touch with any of this family please contact me!!Elizabeth would have 4 half brothers or sisters as her father was married before and his wife passed on.If you need any more information to confirm records please get in touch.

I am looking for any information on the Devine family. So far, I have a Patrick Devine who married Helen Given/Gavin in Paisley, Scotland in 1855. They had a few children, one was Thomas Devine born 12/1857, and he married Catherine Taggart in 1879. They had Patrick Devine born 1887 and Edward (Scotty) Devine in 1894. They may have had other children. Edward Devine married Elizabeth King in 1919. They both came to the U.S. around 1920 (Evanston, Illinois) If anyone has any information about the Devine family that may pertain to this message, please let me know! They all lived in the Pailey, Renfrewshire area. I belive that prior to 1855, the Devine's emigrated to Scotland from Ireland.
