East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Raeburn Family of East Lothian
« on: Thursday 19 October 17 21:22 BST (UK)  »
My great-great-grandmother, Margaret RAEBURN, was married to David Waddell in Canongate Parish, Edinburgh, on 16 May 1835. Margaret was the daughter of "James Raeburn, joiner in Dunbar". From various records, both in Scotland and the USA, she was born 9 Dec 1809 in Dunbar. The couple is found in Clarkson Parish, Lanark, in 1841, and Carluke Parish, Lanark, in 1851. She and David immigrated to Ohio in 1855. Naming tradition would suggest her parents are Alexander and Mary, but we know her father is James. There is question as to the validity of her birthdate. No record seems to exist in the OPRs, thus I can't take this line back any further. Can anyone identify her family? Were her parents James Raeburn and Mary Reid?
