Hi everyone,
I've been trying to track down a death record for my 5x great-grandmother Ann Agnes Watson nee Duncan. According to the family gravemarker at Jedburgh Abbey, she died in 1839 less than a year after her husband James Watson died in 1838. Her marriage record said she and James were both from Cupar, Fife at the time of their marriage.
Their children's names were:
1. James b. 1802 in Cupar, Fife
2. John Rutherford (I think this is a deviation from the naming tradition as John is not a common name in later generations) b. 1804 in Kelso, Roxburghshire
3. Margaret b. 1806 in Kelso, Roxburghshire died 1827 in Jedburgh, Roxburghshire
4. William b. 1809 in Kelso, Roxburgshire
5. Andrew b. 1813 in Kelso, Roxburghshire
The family moved to Jedburgh sometime between 1813 and 1821.
The existing belief is that her parents were Andrew Duncan and Anne Sivis, but there is no concrete proof, just speculation.
