Hi Doris - This doesn't ring any bells, but then I know next to nothing about "my" Linklater, Isobel, born between 1796 and 1800 in Orphir parish. She married Hugh Petrie in 1832. It's possible that there is a relationship between Isobel and your Thomas (b. 1815) -- is she at all familiar to you? Sorry I can't be of help, but I'd appreciate hearing anything you might know about Isobel.
