Info needed Cunningham Rae / Agnes Duncan married 12th Oct 1777

[margaret1]

Possible for Margaret Rae in 1891 is as a cook domestic at Clunes House, Kirkhill, Invernesshire . This could follow on from the 1881 census entry found by hmcc as there is a death for Thomas Fildes in 1887 and so Margaret might have needed to seek a new position. ( Also worth noting that Thomas Fildes widow, Jessie, who rapidly remarried, seems to have been born in Kirkcudbrightshire).

William

Thank you William - this could indeed be she in 1891 working at Kirkhill, Inverness, before travelling to the Isle of Man to help brother William with the children and the Inn some time between 1892 - 1901.  Also, I appreciate the extra info re Thomas Fildes death and his widow, Jessie's remarriage. Even though I can't find anyone with forename Jessie in our immediate Kirkcudbright family,   I will certainly keep this in mind for future reference.

Are you aware that the names Janet and Jessie are used interchangeably in Scotland? Do you have any missing Janets?
