Hi Siobhan,

Not sure if this helps but I have a Susanna (Susan) Niven born about 1815 - she may be a sister of your direct line.

She marries Thomas Auld and they have a child Elizabeth Auld. I have a fair bit of information on Elizabeth Auld. Let me know if you would like more information on Elizabeth.

I wonder if you know what Thomas Auld this is . My Great Grandfather was a Thomas Auld from Stevenston ?

Hi Siobhan
This reply may be too late for you but Richard Scott and Isabella Borland Scott are my Great Grandparents, their oldest daughter Isabella Souter Scott was my Grandmother. I’m not sure if I have any information that you need but I’ll help if I can.
Kind regards
