They had 8 children:- Elizabeth, Ann, Alexander, Mary, Hugh, James, William and John. He died in 1886 at Blairshinnoch farm, Banff, and I am trying to find out where he was born, the names of any siblings, and his mother's name. I believe his father's name may have been Robert, but there was no name for his mother on his death certificate. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
