Do you know anything of the Weir family?

Hi Clarings me close to ,

Thank you for getting in touch. Yes, I have found out quite a lot about the family, but there are still gaps that I would love to fill. Any information, no matter how small or trivial, that brings me close to a complete picture, is greatly appreciated
