Following on. > The specific event is James Duncan, a Presbyterian minister, married Elspeth Anderson in Thruiss, Aberdeen in the early 1700s. I had a look at the Fasti for the Synods of Aberdeen and Moray, Fife and Angus, Ross, Sutherland etc. and Glasgow and Ayr. However, there is no trace of this Minister. Incidently. I note that in the various postings referred to she, interestingly, spells it as Presperterian. Regards Les Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device
