Tony, Great to see your email re FLORENCE/FLORANCE families. I have a FLORENCE link as well... I took a look at your Ancestry file as per below: a.. ID: I1582 a.. Name: Isobel FLORENCE a.. Sex: F a.. Birth: 1790 in Auchterless, Abd, Sct 1 2 3 a.. Baptism: 12 FEB 1790 Auchterless, Abd, Sct 4 5 a.. Note: not sure this right Isobel but expect had illigitimate son John by father = CHRISTIE there was a marriage for an Isabella to a John STRACHAN 1811, Old Meldrum. I have an Isabel FLORENCE born 1792, Auchterless, Aberdeen she appears in 1841 (under md name) and 1851,1861 and 1871 under her maiden name. The above note made by you was interesting.... I had made the presumption that the father of James CHRISTIE would have been a Mr CHRISTIE!!! Isabel md John GEDDES in 1821, Auchterless.
