Falconer/Smith Forres, Edinkillie

[annejan_1]

Catherine Smith b. Forres ?  m.  Alexander Falconer b.@ 1793 Endinkillie. 

Alexander's parents likely William Falconer & Janet Angus

Trying to track them as they seemed to journey via Ross Cromarty to Thurso. In 1841 Census he is listed as a church music teacher. One son william b. in Killearnan May, 1822 and another Alexander b. April 1826 in Rosemarkie

Have many questions?  Where married?  are they family names common to the area? Why moving from place to place? Was there money to pay a music teacher then? Would he have been formally trained?

Would be grateful for any help,  Anne

Hello again,

4 children found on the IGI for a couple with the same names - 1815 to 1840 - all 'extracted' - so will be available for download from www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk   A bit of a gap between births - but not too unusual.... If you're sure of the boys, you might have to download the girls from SP to see if they confirm.

1. WILLIAM FALCONER Birth: 04 MAY 1822 Ch: 30 MAY 1822 Killearnan, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
2. ALEXANDER FALCONER - Birth: 10 APR 1826, Ch: 05 MAY 1826 Rosemarkie, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
