I am seeking a Margaret Porteous born abt 1814 in Gifford, East Lothian. Margaret married Archibald Waldie 14 May 1836 in Whitekirk and Tyningham, East Lothian.. Archibald was from Crichton , Midlothian. Any information on Margaret will be most welcome, I believe her parents to be Thomas Porteous and Christian Thomson but have no proof.... ==========================
