Message Board Post:
My wife's 2nd great Grandmother was Margaret Chalmers. We believe Margaret Chalmers
was born Paisley,Renfrewshire, Scotland on 1830 or 1826 (Age varies in the census). She
first appears in the US with her husband John Edwards, and their children in Chicago Ill.
in the 1860 census and then in the 1870 census. They were married about 1855.
I have been working with the Scotland records on FamilySearch and constructed the
following family. Chronologically it fits my wife's 2nd g grandmother's family.
Does anyone have the family of Andrew Chalmers and Ann Andrew, in their tree?
If so do you have any information on the four children that appear to have come to the US
in 1853?
I am looking for something that would connect my Margaret Chalmers with the Margaret
Chalmers in this family
