I'm finding 4 children born Elgin.........to Wm and Ann Gunn/Gun....using again the Hugh Wallis site...... off the top of my head-- a George and 3 daughters. So then I would be looking for a father of Wm to be George.........MAYBE........ I would suggest looking at the OPR film at a center and seeing who the witnesses are and then what the wedding banns say.....And use Scotlands people for more info on the deaths, and marriages for after 1855 to confirm it.. ....Goldie ----- Original Message ----- From: "BILL & CHRIS BURK" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: "Judy" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 7:33 PM Subject: [MORAY] BRODIE Brick Wall >I need some suggestions for researching.
