Research notes

My ID of this David Cunningham being the David Miller, nephew of Elizabeth Miller in the 1871 census, is based on their being no immediately obvious births registered Kippen around this time, apart from this David, where his birth cert. has an associated entry in the Register of Corrected Entries that shows a paternity case was brought by his mother Helen against David Miller, farm servant or agricultural labourer at .. Brig O' Frew Kilmadock.

So how is Elizabeth his aunt?

And what happened to David after my tentative ID of David in the 1881 census? This ID being because Elizabeth Millar's uncle James was a mason in at least one census. (I do need to re-find which relative was a mason that allowed me to make this ID, along with the birthplace of Cauldhame) Henderson-2297 10:07, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
