Dear Molly,

Re the birth date of David Sunter he was born in 1762 and his wife Margaret Andrew born in 1764. I hope this helps.

One of their children Jean married a David Ritchie (my grandfather five generations back).

Do you know when she died ?
I have seen on Findmypast website that a Jean Sunter was buried on 5 August, 1849 in Kilconquhar, Earlsferry. It has that her husband was a David Dirkie. I am thinking maybe through poor handwriting David's surname was Ritchie.

Any views ?

regards

David

Hi David,

Don't be surprised as this may have been the 'latest tech' of OCR reading (Optical Character Recognition) i.e. not transcribed by a person but a computer scanning prog!

This looks to me to be a high probability it's the same David Ritchie.

Try this link & get in touch with NorrieG (member here on RC) with any requests...good luck!
