After having been looking for her baptism some years, I have just discovered that my ancestor Jean Lawrence who married William Shand in Peterhead in 1814 is in fact the Jean Laurenson who was baptised in Cruden in 1793. I am therefore now trying to trace her family.
She was the daughter of Alexander Laurenson who seems to be the one baptised in Cruden in 1747. He was the son of John Laurenson/Laurenson/Lawrence, but I am not sure of the mother.
I wonder if someone could please therefore look up the details given on the following marriages of John Laurensons:
JOHN LAURENCESON to ELSPET HAY
22 JUL 1732 Cruden, Aberdeenshire
JOHN LAWRENSON to JANET CROOKSHANK
Male Marriage: NOV 1735 Ellon, Aberdeenshire
JOHN LAURENSON to HELEN BARRACK
NOV 1752 Ellon, Aberdeenshire
Many thanks,
Jon
