Alexander GARDEN b abt 1757 in Banffshire. m Janet GEDDES 17 Mar 1782 in Rathven. Six children. Janet b abt 1759. Alexander GARDEN b 9 July 1815 in Rathven (Portessie) m Anne INNES 8 Nov 1838 Enzie. Approx ten children. John GARDEN b 1840 Rathven (mother Ann INNES) m Margaret COULL 28 Jan 1841 in Enzie. Seven children None of the other surnames ring a bell, but if what I have match anything I will be happy to provide more details. Alistair
