Hi Lizzi In last reference you give - is it correct? Christina Macdonald's father was a Mackay? I wonder if she was a widow? Any clue on the certificate. Interested because I have no record of an Alexander Mackay with a Barbara Gordon.

A dreadful mistake- Christina MACDONALD's father was Alexander MACDONALD. I am sorry to have mislead anyone and will be much much more careful in future.

No problem Lizzie. We all type wrong things at times. Have done it myself. I am glad though that she turned out to be a Macdonald - there is a gravestone in Rogart that has puzzled me for years and you just solved that puzzle! It reads: B. GORDON: A. MD. [1788-1840] It is now clear that this is Barbara Gordon married to Alexander Macdonald. Their daughter Christian was born in Golspie on 17 May 1826 according to Scottish Church Records. Now just have to figure out why Barbara is buried in Rogart!
