Notes about Janet Strang

1. http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,461000.0.html
I found some posts from a couple of years ago mentioning Edward Strang & Margaret Weir. I am a descendant of their daughter Elizabeth Strang and her first husband George Shepherd.

I am making progress on tracking Elizabeth's children from both marriages.

I have also found death records for some of Elizabeth's siblings:
Mary d: 1860 Inverkeithing
Agnes d: 1857 Dunfermline
Janet d: 1859 Dunfermline

Has anyone made any progress on Edward Strang & Margaret Weir - possibly linking to other Strangs?

Regards, Lindsay (Los Angeles)
