Hi Scott

You have the birth and death dates: 
*  Alexander BUCHANAN (1889-1916)
*  Alexander Carnahan BLAIN (1880-1939)
*  Mary MORLAND (1891-1958)

You have the marriage (date unstated) of:
*  Mary to Alexander BUCHANAN

You have the names and dates of Mary's BUCHANAN issue:
**  Peter b 1912
**  Elizabeth b 1915, and know she married (date unstated) David Blane HARPER (b 1910, d unknown) and she died 1990.

If you have the birth and death dates for Mary and the two Alexanders, presumably you have parents names already....
 
Could you specify what you are looking for -  Births? Deaths? Parents? Census? Marriages?

Is there some mystery over husband Number 2? Is the fact Elizabeth's husband's middle name was 'Blane' some reference to Alexander Carnahan BLAINE?

Cheers

Hi Ambly.. Thank you..  Honestly... Ultimately I am hoping to get a lead towards a living people descendant to Mary Morland  .. Mary Morland was one of 10 siblings born to a David Morland and Elizabeth Kinnon .. I have managed with great success to connect with descendants of 6 out the 10 of those siblings .. I have been lucky to build up a vast amount of information on my Morlands and have also been lucky that the contacts that have been made have shared freely as I too have shared much... as we try and understand the Morland branch.. I have much to share with any descendant that may be found and always keep my fingers crossed that further leads can in fact be found.. I am hopeful for Photos that paint a picture of my family in Mary Morlands time frame as very few seem to have passed through the family from this period ...  I understand that living people names cannot be shared publicly  .. Thanks Ambly

You have the marriage (date unstated) of:
*  Mary to Alexander BUCHANAN = Married 26 July 1912

Is there some mystery over husband Number 2? Is the fact Elizabeth's husband's middle name was 'Blane' some reference to Alexander Carnahan BLAINE? - There is no mystery or connection that I am aware of ..
