Isabel Petrie married Magnus GROUNDWATER at the end of the 1700's
their children were Robert born 1797 and William 1804

Could anyone please find this record
Turramurra

I have been wondering for some time whether this Robert is the same man who married Margaret Eunson in Leith on 10 July 1818, and who was a shoemaker in Tollbooth Wynd in Leith.

While I'm at it, Margaret's father was George Eunson - she was born in Leith, but I wonder if George was an Orcadian?  I'm purely guessing from the surname, and the Groundwater link.

Can anyone shed any light?

  Black in his Surnames gives the origin as the place-name Grundwatter in Orphir, Alexander in Gyre,Orphir died in 1686, Edward in Tankerness was captured by the pressgang in 1812.
 An Orkney Groundwater was concerned in the horrible murder of Janet Cornfoot a supposed witch in Pittenweem, Fife, 1705.

Bests,
Skoosh.

After a morning of careful research for the marriage of Robert GROUNDWATER and
Margaret Eunson
nothing yet has come to light.
Sorry Brooksburns.

However we have not found the death of Robert Groundwater either.
I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to help please ?
