I so need help to identify the parents of Mary Anderson ??? I’m going round in circles. ::)
This is what I no;
She was born Mary Anderson (Alias; Molly Anderson) 1822/23 Nesting .On the birth certificate her fathers name is John Anderson Robert Anderson.
She married in Tingwall, Whiteness& Weisdale 3rd Dec 1846 to Thomas Johnson (seaman)Parents names for Mary are John Anderson and Margaret Tait .
She died in Lerwick 1871 Mary Johnson (Anderson) Parents name John Anderson & Janet Sutherland.
I'v tried to find a marriage between John & Margaret also John & Janet with no luck.
Looking through the census but still nothing :(
Any advice/help would be appreciated :)
