When was she born?-- Family genealogy brick wall.

Question

Does anyone know when she was born or know where she was born? I've tried looking her up on Find-a-grave but it's not coming up with anything. Thanks!

Where is Tingwall?

Scotland, Shetland or Orkney

Any Help to you?

Sorry I get a little confused with these types of questions, I am probably not looking in the right places but where was who born? a name in question would help me a great deal

Ross, there's usually a link in the query that will take you directly to the profile. In this case it's linked to Margaret Leslie's profile. 

Answer 1

Tingwall specifically is in the Shetland Isles in Northern Scotland.

Answer 2

Try Scotland's People.  You can do a free base search.  Then if you want te full info if you find her the cost is not very high.

There may not be anything on SP.  The guy who runs the Bayenne info site does pretty meticulous research (he's even accepted updates from me) .. and his page doesn't seem to have anything more than the WT profile.

I had a few minutes to check Scotland's People and there are 2 pages of births prior to 1660.  Non said Tingwall or Shetland specifically.  

I also did not see a marriage record with Robert Hunter

and deaths seemed too early.

Here's what I found on google and ancestry.

There's a copy of the pages of "Zetland Family Histories, Etc. (New Edition of "The County Families of the Zetland Islands.").[https://books.google.com/books?id=4HELMwEACAAJ] by Francis J. Grant, p 146-7.

Here's a transcription:
