Hello!
I am looking for any death information for John Craig and/or his wife Jane Peterkin. John was born c1784 and was a soldier at Waterloo. I have no dates for Jane other than the wedding in 1817.
Here is their wedding info - 1817
05/04/1817 CRAIG, JOHN (Old Parish Registers Marriages 685/1 540 223 Edinburgh) Page 223 of 373
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did they have any children ?
Sometimes tracing the children and their marriages/deaths can give you the information needed on the parents.

Hi Dorrie
The only child I know of is son John Craig, b. c1821. He died in 1906 in Blairgowrie. There is nothing on his death or marriage certs that would help me with his parents.
-
Have you found John Craig junior in a census to pin down his place of birth? There are various John Craigs who appear as army pensioners in the censuses.

GR2 - yes, I have Jr's birth ... Edinburgh, 1822 - mother is Mary Carmichael
-
actually I think I have posted in the wrong place .... the family is from Blairgowrie ... in Perthshire, tho he was born in Edinburgh .... all very confusing!
-
So is Jane Peterkin a second wife?
-
I think we are talking about 2 different people.
I am looking for info (death) for John Craig and Jane Peterikin - Their son is John who married Mary Carmichael.

Hiya!
I have posted this in a different forum and don't know how to copy here - which is the right forum!
