Going back to Catherine`s "mother" Charlotte Denholm / Hook, I got her death registration to see if that would help - it didn`t.
Charlotte Denholm, widow died aged 75 in 1859. The informant was John Denholm, her son.
Her parents were Charles Hook, gardener and Ann Hook, maiden name Smith.
We know Charlotte Hook / Denholm was born c 1784 Loanhead / Lasswade.
So what have we got now, another gardener and more
Smiths .WILLIAM DUNCAN husband of Catherine.
His parents are named as John Duncan and Elpseth Duncan maiden name
Smith.He was married to Elizabeth Duncan maiden name
Smith, farmer’s daughter.
Elizabeth`s parents were William
Smith and Margaret Fraser (death cert )
