Hi
Given that last bit from ColC could her father be John Fergusson

Anna Fergusson  born 21 March 1688 bat 25th at Haddington
parents John Fergusson and Agnes Montgomery

She'd be 44 when she had her last child.

Sister Jannet 17 April 1685 bapt 19th
Their parents married at Haddington 19 June 1684.

Haddington is not that far

Hi Ciderdrinker,
I had seen the baptism you mention, my concern about John Fergusson was that there are other Fergusson marriage records at Athelstaneford, 1700 - 1735,both in 1712 for a Jenet and an Isobel where he is a witness, also a James in 1731, his witness is Archbald Fergusson.
I was hoping the original record on SP may help. Sadly no Kirk Session records there.
