Christening
27 MAR 1720
Dirleton, East Lothian, Scotland
entry reads Thos: Grieve and his wife Margaret fforest had a D: B: called Alison Witt: John and Jas: Grieves[3]
Note
1722
Although Alison is "of Auldhamstocks" when she and Thomas married that doesn't necessarily mean she was born there.
At least one tree has Alison as born 1712 at Oldhamstocks, dtr of Patrick GRIEVE & Beatrix MASSONS.
The Alison shown here is a better age match to the Thomas son of Robert, and to have a son Peter in 1756 (age 36 rather than 44).
Although we have very few baptisms to go by to see whether of not they'd heard of what we know as the Scottish naming pattern, a first son Robert fits Thomas' father and a second son Thomas fits this one for Alison[4][5][6]
