Tracking Down Ancestors

Heather discovered that our ancestors the McMurrins lived in Glasgow. Sarah McMurrin, who ran away from her husband to join the saints in Utah, was born in Glasgow, and her father died in Glasgow in the 1840's.
This is an empty lot around where they lived in 1840 - 57 Bridge Street. I took a picture of the adjoining buildings, just to get an idea of the look of the area.

  2. Hi - so I found this blog on a Google search as I was searching for information on my ancestors. I am also a descendant of Sarah McMurrin and Archibald Buchanan and I had never heard this story before. Just wondering if you might be willing to share the source of the story with me? My email is kristen.bird@gmail.com.
