Alexander Strachan, 1857 Scotland

I may have a little information that could help you in your search.My Strachans are from the Ayrshire region and the name Alexander is introduced about 1770/85 (depending on whose records you look at) as the result of Thomas Strachan b. abt. 1750 marrying Susannah Alexander.There is a 2nd Thomas b. 1793 and another b.1807.They are mosly from the Irvine, Riccarton, Loudoun, Kilmarnock area. The Alexander Strachan in my direct family was born abt. 1890.Hope this is of some help.
