James BALFOUR & Margaret BALD
« on: Saturday 14 May 16 08:31 BST (UK) »
3 Dec 1784 Torryburn
Gave up their names for Proclamation in order to Marriage.
Wm Sands & Christian Balfour both in this parish.

Christian  born 10 Aug 1754  Torryburn - James BALFOUR & Margaret BALD

James BALFOUR & Margaret BAWD - Marriage 9 Jul 1737  Torryburn

Children born before Christian
Robert
John
James
Bessy
Margaret
Marion


James  bapt 11 Nov 1705  Torryburn - John BALFOWER & Margret COLVIL

Is there any baptism or marriage that throws doubt on the above besides the naming pattern which suggests the father of James should be a Robert. If the names of the first two sons are swapped then Margaret's father would be Robert.

Baptisms for a Margaret with father = Robert BALD (variations)

1716 Culross - mother Margaret
1718 Culross - mother Elizabeth
1720 Dunfermline - mother Christian

Looks like a dead end.

Regards,

Fred
