Sorry, posted before I saw your response but yes, I agree- I don't think this Alexander McIntosh d. 1864 is her brother.

When doing your searches on SP have you used the surname "variants" button...................not sure how accustomed you are to the site.

Also, have you expanded your dates to get 25 per page at a time  ???

It may be a good idea to open a new thread for look-ups of MI's in the local cemetery as people on here are really nice and helpful.

It's surprising what info. you can glean from a headstone  ;D

Hilary,

Not sure if you have gone through all this but all the surnames in that letter (including Tolmie) are on here so they do seem to be "interconnected"  ;D

ADDED.
.......Including a SARAH (wondered where that name came from for Marjory's daughter) born to James MacIntosh & Sarah McPherson  :P

ADDED.[/b].......Including a SARAH (wondered where that name came from for Marjory's daughter) born to James MacIntosh & Sarah McPherson  :P

That one does look promising.............I will check census as they may have remained in Scotland.

In Scotland (the highlands anyway) Sarah can also be Marion  :o
Don't ask me why as I have never found that out but it also carried over the sea to Canada & USA  ???

McPherson name is on the letter too  :P

Annie

ADDED..........Surname Jack on the letter is also on the link I gave you  ;)

All the pieces of the jigsaw are there.................it's connecting them that's the problem  ;D

1841

Piece: SCT1841/106 Place: Petty -Inverness-shire
Enumeration District: 3
Civil Parish: Petty Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: -
Folio: 3 Page: 5
Address: Stuarts Street

All born Inverness-shire in this household
          
MCINTOSH       
Margaret 45 Independent               
Jane 20                          
Sarah 12
MCPHERSON Sarah 75 Independent

So Sarah 75 looks to be widowed & reverted back to her maiden name (common in Scotland at the time)   so doubtful there will be a death record on SP for hubby Alexander sadly & annoyingly  :) but as mentioned......cemetery  ???

Annie

ADDED.....Margaret seems to be her daughter & kids the grandchildren but not sure if Margaret was married to "another" McIntosh or single  ??? (assuming of course as you will understand) as this may be totally wrong but looks good with daughter Margaret b c 1796 as the daughter Sarah I found was born 1805...........

Wow, interesting find!

So who would Margaret and Sarah be to Marjory?

It looks as though Alexander McIntosh who was Sarah McPherson's husband may have been a brother to Marjory  ???

I'm only trying to synchronise things with names, dates & places.

The fact this Alexander seems to have died before 1841 doesn't help for getting a death cert.

Sarah is not as common compared with names like Margaret, Ann, Janet etc. so it stood out for me with Marjory having named a daughter Sarah so makes me wonder if that was her sis-in-law  ???
