Research notes

Ann's birth

The FamilySearch tree shows an unsourced baptism of 25 Feb 1791.

I ( Lorna) cannot find this on ScotlandsPeople OPR, Kirk Session records not checked.

This date would fit in a gap of the known children, and as far as the Scottish naming pattern goes, does indeed "fit" for her father Donald to have parents named George and Margaret.

Some census ages, and her age at death, place Ann as slightly older, born around 1787, which is rather close to the marriage date of her parents
