Aberdeenshire / Jane Olochland or Olachlin
« on: Saturday 23 June 12 23:31 BST (UK) »
I have recently run across information that indicates that Jane Olochland (Olachlin) is likely my GGG grandmother.
From pre 1855 Births and Baptisms, I find a record of a christening 11 Sep 1825 in Aberdeen for John Poynt, son of John Poynt and Jane Olochland.
From pre 1855 Births and Baptisms, I find a record of a christening 12 Mar 1827 for Maria Point, daughter of John Point and Jane Olachlin. Maria Point and John Point are my GG grandparents.
Has anyone heard of the surnames given for John Point's apparent wife, Jane? Is either of the two spellings I've found likely to be more accurate than the other, or are they both possible wrong?
I can't find any other records of Jane Olochland (Olachlin), birth or marriage to John Point (Poynt).
I'd be grateful for any clues to turn up more information on Jane O.
