Alison Purves
Does anyone have an Alison Purves in their tree?All I know about her is that she married a John Wilson and the only child I know of so far is a daughter Margaret who married a John Shiell.I don't where Alison was born but I would guess Berwickshire or thereabouts.Margaret died in 1864 of 'old age' and was married to John Shiell, they lived in Lauder.Margaret was 76 when she died which makes her birth around 1788 - so working backwards Alison could have been born 1773 or before I suppose.
