Help finding Ann MACDONALD born about 1800
« on: Saturday 13 January 07 11:36 GMT (UK) »
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
 :)

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.

I wonder if mother had two names  :-\

Do you know the person? Might be worth getting in touch. :)

Very possibly, Gadget...who knows, with my family  ::)  Looks promising though.  I will note it down.  Thank you!
