Hi
I am a great granddaughter of Margararet Ann Purdy Heirs. She married David Hendry Heirs and had eight daughters, one died at age 2 Isla Heirs. Davinia Hendry Heirs Latta was my grandmother. I would like to exchange information. I didn't realize She had a brother.
My reply:
Gosh, Carol, you are very far out on my tree. But, it does include a very strange feature of my tree. My great great grandfather was Samuel Clements and three of his siblings married three siblings also called Clements! These three siblings hand another sibling called Eliza McClement and she married John Purdy and they had a child called Margaret Anne Purdy, who, it seems, was your great grandmother! Now, because these people were so far out on my tree, I never did much research on them. This is their marriage: Civil Marriage Record

This second child probably died though I can find no death cert.
But really, after that, I know very little more that would be of any interest to you.
Email me at boydgray26@gmail.com if you think I can help.
