Title: John and Jean Will
Post by: themonkeymonkey on Monday 13 April 20 20:29 BST (UK)
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.

You can enlarge the image.
My eyesight doesn't help.

That is the identical photograph.

The first two lines are Erected by the family of James Will in memory of their sister Catherine who died .... Mossnuck .... May 1827 aged 5 years ....
