Hello all. In the baptism registers (OPR), when it says 'lawful' son or daughter, that means that the parents were married at the time of the baptism, correct? I'm asking because I have Donald McCormick marrying Margaret McKinnon 11 Jan 1823 but their lawful daughter Betty baptised 18 Nov 1820 Does that mean that there were probably TWO couples with those names at the time? Or am I mis-interpreting the meaning of lawful? I checked Ian's site (www.mullgenealogy.co.uk) as well as Michael's site (www.mullfamilies.co.uk) and they both show Betty as a daughter of the Donald McCormick and Margaret McKinnon who married in 1823. Thoughts? Thanks! Linda -- Linda MacCormick Towne
