Looking for any information re my gggg grandparents, Robert GARRET (or Garrot), wife Jean or Joanne Lees, whose children were chr. in South Leith between 1802 - 1808. One daughter, Mary, married John Manson, a ship's blockmaker, in So. Leith in 1826. They appear to have been members of the Relief Church. Another spelling variation may have been "Garrock". "Garrot - Robert Garrot, Porter, So. Leith, Joanne Lees spouse. A daughter named Mary, 29th December 1804, and baptised 6th January 1805. Witnesses: William Rattarey, Sailor, Leith, and James Marr, Porter there. Also a daughter named Isabella born 11th March 1801 witnesses as above."
Here are four Garrot/Lee entries that may have some bearing on your search. All are in the time frame and South Leith. This data is from the LDS/FHC BIVRI disk set ($27.00 on line purchase) Hope they are some help.
