Are you going to go for the 1871c for Kenneth, seeming he was alive in 1868?
and also the deaths.
Very exciting, very exciting
Oh! wouldn't it be grand if we were related.

thanks for all the help - its great!   i would never have figured all of that out by myself!!  


i think the date is 1868. on the twentieth day of february. ?? schoolhouse.

no idea what it says underneath william macaskill (& his mark) cattle dealer bachelor ?? ?? ?? witness. 29. his usual residence ?? melvaig.

underneath Christy Macgregor (& her mark) domestic servant - does it say the witness there is the "registrar" ??. 26. usual residence ??.  

then 2nd column from right - (signed) william ross minister free-church of scotland,
(signed) ?? witness, thomas macintosh witness.


please help!!!!

X-ray eyes, I don't know...probably just comes from years of trying to read my mum's and nanna's handwriting
