It's a good tree backed up with certificates etc. They have attached the marriage cert for Hugh and Susan so no need to go hunting for it  Also included is Hugh's death cert with parents' details left blank, so not known to the informant. This is why it is always better to look for verification from records that the person themselves provided info on rather than rely on the informants at death (in this case, one of Hugh's sons) to know this information. Not unusual for grandchildren not to know the names of grandparents or sometimes worse, get them wrong and send you off on a wild goosechase 
The tree I've been looking at is the MacArthur/McPherson one.

Yes I do have Ancestry, Monica, but haven't had that yet as a hot link! That sounds promising, thanks. Catherine
ps Have got myself in a tangle in Ancestry now as the tree there is not updated, I find the Genes one better. I use Ancestry to research and Genes to record. Can't even get my damn tree up! Doh!

With Ancestry, from the HOME screen, you will see the option to search for an ancestor by putting in names. It comes up on the middle of my page the search screen but you may have different settings/layouts. Simply put in under father/mother's names Hugh and Susan's full names and press search and you will see the seven entries coming up.
Not sure what you mean about the Ancestry tree not being updated?

Why don't you put a post up on the Technical Board...sure someone will be able to help 
www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,285.0.html
Is your tree the other one (not the MacArthur/McPherson) ?

Well thanks to your help Monica this is what the tree looks like now! Oops, just noticed, missed off Catherine's surname, Campbell. And some extra Wilkies. Been a long day...
The other tree - dunno! Might be, what's it called? Mine's just called Aitken tree!

Looking good Catherine 
By the way, I think Donand Crawford's wife Mary was also Crawford....I'll leave you to figure that one out!
I would have a look a the other tree (MacArthur & McPherson Tree) and compare notes and perhaps make contact with the other tree owner. You're both working on the same lines!

Good Morning, Monica. I shall do that, it was a useful tree. Viewing the results as a tree would be easier, you can then see at a glance what they have that you don't. Anyway I have updated it so the version above is now correct- except for Mary Crawford! I have a similar problem in two other family brances, particularly one who is great aunt on grandmother's side, great aunt on grandfather's side and great grandmother too! Keeping it in the family makes family treeing a real headache!
However we referred earlier to alternatives. I have a 2nd Peter Wilkie, similar birth date, Glassary, married to a Euphemia, and a second John with son Hector McLean Wilkie married to a Louisa. Looking back at this and the fact that of the children of John and Isabella only Duncan has the middle name and it actually reads McLan not Mclean I think my identification of Hector as the soldier must be wrong, as the soldier is specifically McLean Wilkie, so is probably Louisa's son. In which case I may be wrong about Isabella neing a McLean. Back to the drawing board....sigh.
Kind regards
Catherine
