Old Parish Record
NB
Catherine MC TAGGART Daughter aged 25 born Singapore **** was probably a daughter of William's first marriage (in Singapore) where his first wife may have died ... and William came home and quickly married again .. before returning to Singapore until at least c.1866.
How does one find out who William's first wife was, as this is Guy's other Great Great Grandmother !
Did father James Mactaggart die in Singapore? Catherine Cay came home to marry again in 1835.
