Inr
I stumbled on this entry and would like to take issue at the information about Christina Fraser Calder who married Kenneth Murray 23 Mar 1858 in Creich.
Her marriage certificate clearly shows that she was the daughter of Donald Calder and Jane/Janet Gunn b 6 Dec 1833 in Creich. Her DC also confirms these as her parents.
I have further information on the Calders if you require it.
Aitchison originally in Dumfriesshire/Kirkcudbrightshire.
Cannon from Kirkcudbrightshire.
Carson from Kirkcudbrightshire.
Jamieson from Kirkcudbrightshire.
Mcarthur from Argyll, Leith and Glasgow.
Mackay originally from Sutherland.
Melville originally from Sutherland.
Young from Northumberland, Roxburgh, Berwick & Kirkcudbrightshire
