      Haven't found David since 1891 Census - there are some strong possibilities in the USA but without some clues as to parents names, children cannot identify for sure they are 'this David'.

      April 03, 2011 I feel strongly that some of the immigration names I have found for a David Wilkie could well be one of 'ours' as yesterday I found Robert Wilkie (David's brother) - married to Marion Drysdale, and members of their families living in Salineville Ohio, with one file from ancestry.ca saying Robert's son David - married to Ann Cunninham died in 1976 in Allegheny Pennsylvania. SSN for son David verifies that date. hw

      November 2013; continued to look for David Wilkie, birth 1872 Orwell, Kinross, Scotland; No luck on ancestry, ScotlandsPeople of familysearch.org. Will try to follow some David Wilkies and study their / his children naming patterns to see if I can spot a close match hw
