Margaret,
Can you give me a few more details, like real or approximate birthdates? There could be a
distant relationship, but I don't see a direct one at this time.
I have a William Alexander (b~1851 Uphall, West Lothian), but that would be the wrong
generation.
I have multiple Elizabeth Chalmerses (b~1890 Motherwell; b1905 either Motherwell or
Airdrie; and probably others I don't know of); but again, don't see a direct
connection and what I have are the wrong generation.
I have multiple John Chalmerses (possible b~1818 Airdrie [m Elizabeth Paterson]; b~1851
Airdrie [m Margaret Hodge]; b1887 Motherwell). But again, don't see a direct
connection.
Have a possible Black connection too, but Janet rather than Anne.
And, coincidently, have someone who moved to Ballarat; HOWEVER, they're on my
McClymont side, not Chalmers.
Bottom line: given all the coincidences, I suspect there's a relationship somehow, but
no way to tell what it might be, how many generations back, at this point.
