Hi David Looked at the family and found I had no Margaret. As I picked up some information from the headstone in Rothes on a visit some years ago. I also found in various cemeteries other members of the Riach and connected families Anyway, have just been on ancestry and looked at the Scottish census a thing I have been doing in stages for all the families. I've found Margaret with the family in the census and also found Annie her sister living with her aunt Margaret Younie b 1849 Rothes living at 13 High St, Rothes. I too have been able to find nothing else about Margaret - could it be that she may have gone to join family in NZ or Australia ? Worse things have happened when people have disappeared Will keep looking though, Carol DAVID FELL wrote: > Hi Carol > > I think we have been in touch before. > > You wrote: > For the Younie side, George Younie = Helen Riach, their children - > what did they > do as children?
