Thomas Forrest and Janet Wardrop were my great, great grandparents. I have managed to trace the Wardrop family back, but not Thomas Forrest. I know Thomas had a illegitimate son
with an Anne Hamilton, Galston in 1839 and the first of his 4 children with Janet (Robert Wardrop Forrest - my great grand-father) in 1840. From the 1841 census I know Thomas Forrest was born in Scotland, Sometime around 1814, but not in Ayrshire. Beyond that the trail goes cold. Are there any parish records survivng that won't have been added to Scotlandspeople.gov.uk and that might have more information about who Thomas was and where he came from? I know he died of typhoid in 1848. Grave inscription is Thomas FORREST, Surgeon, died at Galston 17th September 1848 aged 34 years.
Do you find this valuable?
