Edmistone family
« on: Thursday 20 February 20 08:58 GMT (UK) »
I am facing a brick wall regarding the background of one Margrett edmistone married to robert kerr, they had at least one son lawrence born in 1669 in perth. I also have mention of aniother son james baptised in london  in the 1680 a but born in scotland. I have been trying to find out if margrett was born in perth and when and where she was married . Likewise with james ker when and where was he born. Can any one shed any light on these individuals.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
