Yes, I feel quite happy that she is John Moffat and Jean Carson's daughter.

Julie and Gadget

Last one from me for now  Just following through with Gadget's Alice Moffat who married a Peter Scott. Alice looks to have been illegitimate, mother a Fanny Moffat. This looks like the family group in 1841:

Fanny Moffat    50, washerwoman
Peter Scott    30, Cotton H L W
Alice Scott    28
Agnes Scott    5
Jannet Scott    3
Jean Scott    1

Address: Ecclefechan, Hoddam

Regards.

There are mystery Scotts popping up all over the place with this family!
I'll have to type up all my notes into coherent form - getting a bit confused!
Interesting that there is a Peter in that family. Its a name that has cropped up once or twice with the Moffats, but wasn't common at the time

Hi

 Thanks for that info Monica. When I saw the Scott/Moffat marriage I was intrigued. They might be related one way or another

I shall have to file that family for future reference. They probably fit in somewhere.

Hi Julie

Just wondering if you had any more info on William Scott & Ann Cunningham, they are my 3x GGrandparents.
As far as I can gather Anns' parents were Andrew Cunningham & Ann Byers. She had a brother(unknown) & 2 sisters, Margaret and Jannet.
I am at a brick wall trying to find the children of William & Ann, their son George is my 2x GGrandfather m Sarah Tweedie.
There are also Moffats married into the Tweedie line......

Hope to hear from you soon
Regards Jeanie

Hi Jeanie, William Scott and Ann Cunningham were my red herring in this area, so I haven't got the info on them written down in a coherent form.  I did find most of their children livng with various aunts and uncles.  I'll get back to you when I've sorted out what I found.
