Elaine A snippet of information for you. George Blacklaws, Mains of Monboddo, and Robert Blacklaws, Carnbeg were cautioners for John Moir ( my great X 5 grandfather) and Elspet Craw at their proclamation of marriage on 14.4.1755, Fordoun. This is not a great deal of help to you but you could reasonably assume that George and Robert were brothers, cousins, father/son or son/father, which might help you as your research develops. There were quite a lot of Blacklaws around Fordoun at this time. Alan Moir
