Odd that three daughters are listed, but not the three sons, or the marriage. I have come across a similar family once, where the marriage and three sons were in the Church of Scotland register but no daughters. In that case I suspect from other evidence that the father was Protestant and the mother Roman Catholic, and that the sons were baptised in the father's religion and the daughters in the mother's. But so far that is just a hunch - I still need the proof. It would also go directly against the teaching of the RC Church. Anne ______________________________

Hi Chris I can't locate Cruden - is this near Forres?

Cruden is quite a distance in the east away from Forres and is actually south of Peterhead on the east coast in Aberdeenshire.
