Hello Christine
Just a short note to say that I agree with Catherine Owen regarding the root of the John Vanwell tree. Like Catherine I am curious to establish your link with the family and how you decend from John Karran and Jane Watterson. My link is that Thomas Karran 1831 - 1912 had an elder brother Henry, who in turn had a son John who married an Eleanor Karran and in turn had a daughter Eleanor who was my mother. I am at present attempting to compile a complete tree of what I describe as the Cregneish Branch of the Karran tree and as a consequence any information which you have that could add to my information would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
John
