Has anyone come across Alexander and Margaret, they don't seem to be on any webpage, I've seen them as the parents of Janet Lethangie born 8/1/1615 Leslie Fife on ancestry family trees but I cannot find any info to back this up and as I am not a full member I cannot contact any other Ancestry members. Janet should have died 1690 in Pharay Orkney wife of George Balfour born 11/7/1620 kirkcaldy married 9/6/1643 Fife who died 1706 Pharay Orkney.
Any info would be appreciated

There are no burial registers for Eday and Pharay in Orkney. To find evidence of their deaths, you may need to look in the Kirk Session records. These are not online that I know of. Or search for a monumental inscription if one exists.
The Leslie parish registers were not begun until 1673 for baptisms. It would seem that the other researcher has been looking at other records to piece together the tree.
It seems a long way from Leslie in the middle of Fife to Orkney. What did Alexander Lethangie do for a living?

Hi Nell
I have to agree with you that the Orkneys and Fife aren't that close, I found a few family trees on ancestry with the same parents Alexander Lethangie and Margaret Meane being the parents of Janet, they are noted as being born in Pharay and although Janet was born in Leslie Fife, apparently both her and her husbandGeorge died back in Pharay. I know George's son also George stayed in Fife and his children were born there, so something just didn't feel right about this Orkney/Fife connection, I do know their son George was born 21/1/1659 C113992 to George and Janet, but having searched the internet all I could find were a few brief mentions of Lethangie as being and area, so I don't know where these ancestrians got their info from either if I do find any info I'll add a PS just to confirm incase anyone else is researching this family.
