    1. [ANGUS] marriage record for 1808 at Dundee?
    2. Harvie Barker
    3. dear listers: i have a marriage record for Dundee 1808 for JAMES PRESTON and ANN MCDONALD it goes on to say "...in p. of Glammis"... does this mean the actual marriage was performed in Glamis? even tho the record was in Dundee? proclamation in Dundee? can someone interpret this for me? unfortunately, the record does not have "Ann McDonald's" father's name. and I cant seem to find on igi or ScotlandsPeople any children of this couple...altho "JEAN/JANE PRESTON" was their daughter...she married James Robertson Nicoll 1837 at Dundee and their children had names such as "Jane Preston Nicoll" and "Ann McDonald Nicoll". Jean/Jane Nicoll died in 1861 and was buried at Western cemetery; the inscription is clear. I tried to download the death cert and it wont open on my computer...says "file is corrupted"...She was "50" at death so born about 1811 and born in Dundee according to censuses of 1841, 1851, 1861. This is the first set of children I cannot find in Dundee [other family lines at Borders have failed to baptise or register their children]. Is this likely the case here? I also found a death at Dundee 1827 for a "Ann Preston" age 59 and born "Glamis"...no reference to husband. She could be my Ann McDonald Preston? any ideas for this brick wall would be appreciated. thanks Liz of BC Canada
