Forfarian that's an excellent post.
Lawrie name in Fife (and elsewhere) with all its various spellings.

Thank you, Buckhyne.

If only we could find the death certificate of Ann Donaldson's husband!
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.

This shows that the husband of Ann Kincaid was born in Larbert in 1814 or 1815.

Mea culpa, that should of course read 'the husband of Ann Donaldson'
