Hi,

I have an Elizabeth (Milne Richie) Barron who had a daughter, Mary, who took the Moir name from her father by the time she married. She lived with her father and stepmother. But my years are ahead of yours :o( Thought I'd mention it though as the Barron/Moir name change baffled me for a while and maybe the names may mean something to you.

Sorry I misread your comment on the 1861 entry for Barbara. I'll look again!
