Notes about Edward Strang

1. http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?dunfermline::strang::199.html
Looking for information on Edward Strang who married Margaret Weir abt. 1775. Their children were Mary, Agnes, Christian, William, Margaret, Elizabeth and Janet. Can give birth dates for children if needed. In records from Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, I have Edward as Agent at ??? Pilfirs an Collierg?? (sorry handwriting very hard to read) He was also listed as overseer at Berri law? I'm currently trying to figure out where he was an overseer at and where he was an agent at. Any help is appreciated.
Note from self - possibly Pitfirrane Colliery and Berrielaw
He was in the Crossgates and Rumblingwell areas.

2. 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)
