Hi Diddi, your last bit of information ties in with what my Mum has told me. Thank you so much.

Is it possible that Christian's maiden surname was LATTA rather than LATTAR?

If so, it looks like she's listed on a gravestone in Dollar Churchyard/Cemetery, date of death 4th December 1924 age 67 (born c1857). There is also a John Connell listed, his date of death is listed as 22nd May 1913 age 59 (born c1854).

Have a wee look: www.memento-mori.co.uk (Dollar Cemetery & Churchyard, Nos. 60 & 61 on the index).

I did not check further back than James (1894) bap - ie marriage of john & Christian

P.S. Sorry to have missed out 1871 - she's being a bit elusive but I'll keep looking!
