Thanks for the comment Diane. That’s fascinating info. Good luck with your family tree, let me know if you uncover any more Burns connections. Chris.

I’m not sure if this is of any help but I am currently working on my family tree. I am related to the Dr. James Currie who was the biographer of Robbie Burns. He lived in Liverpool but he had a cousin Dr. William Currie who was a well known doctor who worked and lived in Chester. Dr. William Currie was married to Mary Foulkes who was the heiress of Boughton Hall in Chester.

A good couple of days was had by all! Do come and see us at Rozelle at any time. As Chris says, Burns and lots more to see! Also visit the McKechnie Institute In Girvan, where some of our Burns collections are currently on display.

Just checked Godden “Pottery and Porcelain Marks” – the mark isn’t shown, but a similar one with “Stoke on Trent” dates to 1880.

Thanks for this Joanne. One item that you mention is featured on the NBC site. Here's the jug. Can't find an image of the pitcher I'm afriad, but I did find another Ridgway plate on Future Museum.
