RAMSAY of Haddington;1830+

[bmanson]

George RAMSAY (b.c. 1831 Haddington) married (2) to widow Margaret (Manson) MORRISON in 1874 in Leith.  According to the marriage cert., George (age 43, and a widower) was the son of George Ramsay and Isabella Whitecross. We also have a record (IGI) that shows that a Isabella Whitecross married, in fact, a John Ramsay in 1819 in Tranent, East Lothian. We have not been able to track the parents (either name) or first wife.

Thank you for this (sorry for the delay; I have been out of the country). This answers a lot of the questions I had regarding the 2nd husband of my gg grandfather's elder sister.
