Hello everyone, I am new to this list & somewhat confused geographically about what is in Angus, what is in Kincardine & what is Aberdeenshire. I am looking for MARY REID who married DAVID BAIN around 1818. I can find no record of their marriage on Scots Origins, but I have found there the birth dates of the 13 children they produced between 1819 & 1844, all born at NIGG, Kincardine. Mary Reid was 81 at the time of the 1881 census, & gave her birthplace as Montrose, Kincardine, (which I thought was in Angus). Her daughter ELIZABETH (born 1831) gives her place of birth as COVE, Kincardine, whilst Scots Origins places it at NIGG. I hope you understand my confusion. I think Mary Reid MIGHT be the daughter of ROBERT REID & ELIZABETH CATENACH, born 24 May 1802 at Arbuthnot, Kincardine, but have no confirmation of this. (I just want to be descended from someone with the wonderful name Catenach!) I know nothing about David BAIN except that he was a seaman & then a coastguard, & in 1850 - 55 was stationed at Collieston, SLAINS, Aberdeen. I would be grateful for any information anyone might have on the above names, or just a simple explanation for the discrepancies in birth & census entries. As I live up a mountain in Italy personal research is rather limited. Liz Wilde Coreglia Antelminelli Toscana, Italy
