Hutcheson family of Artafallie, North Kessock, Black Isle

Many thanks, I feel sure this is the correct family.  I had no details of the family of Christina Fraser who married Donald Maclean on 28.01.1904 in Killearnan Parish. Her parents names are shown on the marriage certificate, but not their birth dates. Just needed a legitimate reference point to start from. Thank you again for your help and patience.

Fine, but you need to be sure you have the correct couple, as there are three couples with the same names at about the same time.

If you have not already done so, you need to find your Donald and Christina in the 1911 census and check her age and parish of birth to make sure you have the correct one.

I will do that now. In 1911 she was married to Donald Maclean, and they have a 3 year old daughter.

Struggled to find them in the 1911 census. Got a copy of their marriage certificate which shows they were married 28.01.1904, in the parish of Killearnan. He was 32 and Christina was 30. Their child was born in Inverness 1908.

This census 1911 might be worth looking at ref./073/4/7 Knockbain Ross Cromarty
Donald McLean age 39
Christina McLean age 37
Donald McLean age 7
Alexander McLean age 5
Maggie Ann McLean age 3

This looks correct, just checking with my relative. Thank you.

If Christina was 30 on 28 January 1904, she must have been born between 29 January 1873 and 28 January 1804.

If she was 37 in the 1911 census, she was born between 3 April 1873 and 2 April 1874.

So either she gave a wrong age on her marriage and census, or she isn't the one born in 1871.

Where does the 1911 census say she was born?

[Lance Matthews]

I am waiting for a reply, to give some clarity. The marriage certificate of 28.01.1904 shows Donald aged 32 and Christina 30, residing in Linnie, South West of Tore, in the County of Ross.

The 1911 information from Rosie is 100% correct. This should help ??

Yes, but it's not complete.

Rosie's information is from the index to the 1911 census at SP.

You need to view the full original document to see all the information that was included in the census, for example where they were all born.
