Hi Chiad! We seem to have a clash of two different Robert Tullochs marrying the same woman and having the same children! I am descended from their son, also Robert. However, my research shows Robert snr. being born in Wemyss on the 23 Dec 1767, christened 27 Dec 1767 and married to Elizabeth Brown on 1 Feb 1792 in Kilconquhar. Their children were James, unnamed dead infant, William, David, John, Andrew, Ann, Peter, Boston, Walter, and Robert. Robert snr.'s parents were Patrick Tulloch born circa 1747 in Wemyss ( not far from Kilconquhar) and Elizabeth Watson, and they were married on 24 July 1765. Patrick's parents were David Tillock (sic) born about 1704 ( still in Wemyss) who married Elspeth Brown (born 1702, Wemyss) in 1729 at...wait for it...Wemyss!
Please may I ask very nicely how you have worked out that your Robert Tulloch from Sanday is actually the father of this multitude of bairns?
It's just that I have worked on the tree and managed to get info going back to 1643 and am now worried I have been barking up the (wrong) family tree!! I have researched on the LDS and scotlandspeople sites and would be surprised to discover, given the strong links of the family for generations to the one little corner of Fife, that new blood had come down from Orkney. I am more than happy to be proven wrong though!
Many thanks for your help in this matter.
Best wishes,
Maxine Dundas.
