Hello Viv,

I meant to get back to you before to ask you whether you saw the two messages from John Lawson on the thread
"TAGGART / BRIDSON Malew", below?

This showed that your Martha did indeed come from the Ballakew family, and was the sister of his 4xgt grandmother Catharine Taggart daur of William and Elinor Bridson. Joyce had the same marriage for two different families, which I hadn't noticed.
- So we all have a common ancestor in the 2nd William TAGGART of Ballakew (from the list I wrote).
