SMART / OLIPHANT families
« on: Sunday 01 April 12 03:05 BST (UK) »
Currently researching John Smart (b. abt. 1804, Dunnichen) who married Diana Oliphant (b. abt. 1803, Kincardineshire). Married 22 Nov 1828, Laurencekirk,Kincardine. Children were:

Helen Smart b. 1830, Garvock
Elizabeth Hogg Smart b. 1831, Garvock
Matilda Smart b. 1833 Logie-Pert. (my line, married James Coutts 18 June 1853, Stracathro)
Jane Barclay Smart b. 1835, Logie-Pert.
Ann Wilson Smart b. 1837, Garvock

This family has become my brick wall. Cannot find them in the 1841 or 1851 census. Would like to know who John and Diana's parents are. I'm thinking the middle names of the children (Hogg, Barclay, Wilson) may mean something but I am stuck here. If anyone has any info, or is researching these families, I would appreciate any and all help! Thanks, Fran

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
