Thanks Mo...I'd forgotten about the fun I had with them
The Elizabeth Burt who married her 2nd cousin John Burt is also the daughter of Andrew and Margaret...and thereby lies another lovely little puzzle that took me ages to sort out.
Andrew and Margaret had a daughter Elizabeth born 1829...and another daughter Bettie Stevenson Burt born 1833,
It's actually the Bettie born 1833 who married her 2nd cousin John Burt. Meanwhile Elizabeth born 1829 married James Craig in 1865.
confused yet??? And yes another Craig!!!
Christian Burt, the sister of Andrew and Robert, daughter of Andrew and Margaret... well what can I say..pretty much the same problem as Andrew and Roberts weddings.

Would you be surprised if I said I've given up looking for spouses for the rest of the family....enough to drive a body to drink! No wonder the vicar was getting confused with all the Burts, Craigs and Burns.
Sylvia ...somewhat muddleheaded
