Hi!
George WESTWATER, a Wright, was born about 1677 and married about 30 years later on 7th March, 1707 at Anstruther Easter. I have confirmed the marriage details on ScotlandsPeople. This is what I see:
07/03/1707 WESTWATER, George - Barbara IRELAND/FR427 Anstruther Easter /FIFE 402/0020 - 0229
George married Barbara IRELAND (sometimes spelt IRLAND), who was the daughter of James and Margaret IRELAND (?IRLAND). Barbara had been born on 5th September, 1682 at Anstruther Easter.
I did a very quick search for the children of this couple and again, used ScotlandsPeople. I will not go too deeply into each childs record, but to show that the records do indeed exist, I will show you the detail for the first child, Margaret WESTWATER:
21/12/1707 WESTWATER, Margaret George Westwater/Barbara Ireland FR316 Anstruther Easter /FIFE
Elizabeth WESTWATER ch. 31st July, 1709 at Anstruther Easter.
Jean WESTWATER chr. 25th March, 1711 at Anstruther Easter.
Katherin WESTWATER chr. 4th April, 1714 at Anstruther Easter.
George Westwater chr. 23rd October, 1720 at Anstruther Easter.
Helen WESTWATER chr. 14th April, 1723 at Anstruther Easter.
Barbara WESTWATER chr. 14th April, 1723 at Anstruther Easter.
There are also Death Records available for George Westwater, born/chr. 23rd Oct, 1720, who died on 14th February, 1759, aged 39 and Barbara Westwater, born/chr. 14th April, 1723. who died on 23rd October, 1761 at the age of 38.
Again, I hope that the above information will be of assistance to other researchers and give them as much pleasure as I had in compiling it.
Best wishes to you and yours,
Tom.
