I have finally managed to trace James Yuill’s family in Scotland.
James Yuill was born in Rutherglen, Lanark(Present Day area of Glasgow) in around December 4 1774 to John Yuill and Agnes Eadie or Addie.
John and Agnes married 23 July 1769 in Hamilton Lanark.
They had 5 children(that are known).
Margaret born June 1772
James born December 1774
William born March 1777
Gavin born February 1779
Thomas born February 1781
I believe that James was a solider at sometime working in England and that his brothers Gavin and Thomas were soldiers sent to Canada as well.
I am still looking into the family, so will post more information as I cross across it.
As always, thanks for reading
