Thanks June for your email re the interchangable name of Jane and Jean. I will certainly keep this in mind when doing my research. I am not sure that in my case that Jean and Jane Brodie are the same person as they had different partners. Jane Brodie b 1809 m Charles McLean Jean Brodie b 1805 m John Morrison 1825 ( this was Johns second wife) mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder if I have this wrong and Jean is John Morrisons first wife and she married Charles McLean at some later date. Guess I will have to double check and ask Greg about the date of marriage for his Jane and Charles. I am 100% certain that my Brodie m John Morrison in 1825 and that her parents were James Brodie and Isbel Laurance but mybe my other infor regards 1st and 2nd wives and their order could be wrong. Isnt geneology wondefull Thanks again Regards Anne _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://messenger.msn.co.uk
