Hi there,
The mystery deepens, as my information fits with yours in some ways but not in others!
I have a death record for Annie McLagan, widow of George McLagan, a salmon fisher. Annie died on 15 January 1946, aged 93, at 18 Smithy Croft, Arbroath. Her father is shown as Robert Cuthill, ploughman (deceased) and her mother is shown as Christina Cuthill, m.s. Gray (deceased). Her death was registered by her son Joseph Cuthill.
This puts her birth date at around 1853.
This fits with the 1861 census showing my Cuthill family (Robert and his wife Christina) which lists a daughter Ann aged 10. She was born in Cromwell Park, Perth.
The marriage record which you drew my attention to also fits with these dates, as she was 23 when she married in 1877.
The problem is: why is her name shown as May A Cuthill and her father as William Cuthill if she is my ancestor and therefore a daughter to Robert Cuthill called Ann?
I'm also not entirely happy about May and George's marriage taking place in Barry as weddings were traditionally held in the bride's parish of birth.
I've not found a birth record for either an Ann or a May A Cuthill. Nor can I find a marriage record for a William Cuthill marrying a Christina Gray.
I'll do some more digging this afternoon but I thought I'd post what I have in the meantime.
More later!
