John Will birth 1773 in Lonmay married Jean McK? looks like Mckessar but each death certificate of the children doesn’t give an illegible surname (no birth date nor marriage date), they had 7 children
John (1792-1866), Isabella (1794-1871), Thomas (1800-1890), James (1802-1855), Mary (1803-1882), Catherine (1803-1883) and Jean (1820-1893). All born in the St. Fergus/Crimond area. I am trying to find death dates for both John and Jean, I believe it may be them in the 1841 census at Pitbirn St. Fergus but cannot be 100%. I know they are both deceased by 1855 when their son James dies. Does anyone else have them in their trees? Thanks.
