I'm looking for Ann MACDONALD's baptism. She was born (according to census returns) either in St Andrew's or Urquhart around 1800. She married John MILNE in 1824 in Urquhart, and died in 1883 in Tynet, Enzie, Banffshire.
Her parents, according to a cousin of mine, were Alexander MACDONALD and Elspet ROBB. I have found their marriage on Scotland's People website, 28 Dec 1797 at St Andrew's Lhanbryde. The only child for this couple that I can find in the OPR Baptisms was Alexander, bapt. 1801. I've tried dozens of combinations of first and second names, and used all the spelling variations I can think of, but can't find Ann.
Can anyone help me to track her down? I would like to be able to prove or disprove her parentage.
Many thanks
Prue

Thank you both, Gadget and Hume
Gadget - will PM you in a tick.
Hume - that certainly looks like a brother, doesn't it....Glasgow is a long way from Urquhart, but I suppose anything is possible! I will check it out further.

Thanks Jean
That could be Ann's father, but I don't have enough information about his children to be certain His wife was still alive at that time (she died in 1865) but could have been awa frae hame I suppose.
Anyway, I will add it to my pile of possibles!
Thank you for your help
