Hi, Everyone, It has been a while since I was on list due to family health issues. But I am happy to now be back! I have picked up where I left off working on my Penny family information. Can someone on the list tell me who the parents were for John Penny who married Christian Catto 9 April 1820 in Tyrie or was it 16 April 1820 in Fraserburg? They had two separate listings in the LDS files. One under M111964 and one under M112335, They had 6 Children I know about. Another puzzle for me are the parents of Mary Trail who married John Penny 18 May, 1845 Rathen. I have several sources who indicate it was James Trail and Elizabeth Anderson but I also have sources pointing to James Trail and Elizabeth Burnett. For Trail Anderson her birth info would be 3 Jun 1826 Auchtydore, Longside and Christening was from LDS C112355:25 JUN 1826 Rathen, Aberdeen, Scotland LDS shows Trail Anderson connection on CD 131. The date of birth in LDS for the Trail Burnett version is 23 Apr 1821 Rathen or 20 May 1821 Rathen for Christening. C112355 also I suspect these are cousins in some way but would like to figure out which of the Mary's is actually married to John Penny. Thanks in advance for any help! Laura

Hi Laura, Penny answers?? Just to confuse you a bit more, probably challenge you too. Parents of Mary Trail, and this might muddy the waters even more were John Trail and Elizabeth Lead, and Mary was born 17-10-1828 and her age fits in with the Census of 1871of John Penny and family and also living with them is Elizabeth Traill described as Mother in Law ,age given as 76. A pure guess but the Christine Catto and John Penny ,I would suggest (but no proof) John Penny b 1800 in Fraserburgh father Alec. Penny. And the only reason is that their places of abode were in fairly close proximity. Sorry it's taken me so long to send you this.
