I am a Maxwell from Stevenston Born 29 07 25 at 49 Townhead St. My Great Grandfather Thomas Maxwell came from Keady Co Armagh Ireland in 1866. His only son Samuel was my grandfather. He had three daughters. These four children were by his first wife.  Mary Jane Alexander.  His second wife was called .....   He had several other children William John Richard and two daughters Anne and .... I believe that one daughter emigrated to America and she had two daughters. The other daughter married and settled in Paisley. Richard went to Canada where he became high up in insurance.
