The headstone gives date of death for William and Janet Smart and also their daughter Margaret. There are two birth dates for Janet Smart 11 September 1767 (Thomas Smart & Mary Mitchell parents), 4 Jan 1769 (James Smart & Elizabeth Paterson parents). Both these dates make her way to young to be married and having children. I cannot find any other Janet Smart being Christened in the time frame that would match. Regarding William on their first childs Christening records it states that the witnesses were Robert Jaffray and Will Jaffray Senior. Now I have researched Williams whose father is also William and found one born 20 June 1745 to William Jaffray and Margaret Allison. What are your thoughts on this. Most info going around has Williams father as John Jaffray and the mother either Margaret Mitchell or Margaret Gillespi they put the birth date of 29 August 1730, but I cannot find any record of this.

Hello Graham,

I too am very interested in finding both William Jaffray and Janet Smarts birth records. I know there are two records for Janet which put her in the 10-12 age bracket but I can find no trace of a William being born on 29 August 1730. Would love to see a copy of the record please. William and Janet are my daughter-in-laws 4th Great Grandparents.

Regards Joan Churchill
