I'm trying to find any descendents of Peter ELDER & Elizabeth KEILLER, who married 22 Jan 1793 in Perth. They had 6 known children all supposedly born in Perth, namely: Peter b. 17 Jan 1794; Isobel b. 12 Sep 1795; John b. 4 Sep 1797; Elisabeth b. 30 Oct 1799; Jean or Jane b. 25 Dec 1801 [GG Grandmother] & David b. 4 May 1804. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Peggy Dunn

Peggy, Have you tried Scotland's People? If you look up the marriage it should give ages, birthplace, parents and perhaps witnesses who could be relatives. On the same IGI batch as Peter's children are what look to be tow of Peter's brothers (perhaps cousins). William Elder married Betty Cock 1792 in Perth and had Robert 1794, William 1795 and Peter 1796. James Elder married Ann Young in 1796 in Perth and had Elizabeth 1797 and John 1799. There may be others on different batches. You might check their marriages on Scotland's People as well. I can't see any obvious births for Peter, William and James around 1770. They have probably died by 1841 census when all would seem to be over 65. But check for all occurrences of the surname in Perth. It could show some of the children. Check also for marriages of children. I can't see any submitted trees for this family on Ancestry or Rootsweb. That suggests nobody is researching them. So I'd be working to develop side branches using Scotland's People. Although it's a pay site, the information is the equal of a normal UK certificate and about one third the price. Peter in Sydney
