Parents of Margaret Water(s) of Caithness b. 1775?
« on: Saturday 19 October 13 18:24 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has any information on Margaret Water(s) of Caithness.  According to Caithness Monumental Inscriptions, pre 1855, she died [?].11.1820 and was 45 at the time of her death, so she was born c 1775.  She married Rev. Edward Mackay, the first Baptist minister of Thurso.  She is buried in Thurso: St. Peter's Church yard.  I believe that her parents might be David Waters & Jean Gilchrist but I don't have any proof.  It looks as though she was 14 years older than her husband.  Ancestry trees have her dob as 1786 and have various parents listed. Many have James Waters b. 1770 as her father.  He may be her brother.  Any help would be much appreciated!
