Hi Jean,

I wish I could make out the mother's married surname, let alone her maiden surname.

It may be worth your while submitting a contact form to ScotlandsPeople, telling them it is unreadable. They should post you a copy out that may be more legible.

All the best,

Andrew Paterson

Hi Andrew

I know that her father's surname is Wattie, for certain. Does that help in the deciphering?

Hi Jean,

Whatever it is, it looks awfy like James Birss' wife Catherine's maiden name. Starts with a "D"?

Hi Jack
James Birss's wife Catherine's maiden name looks like Dunn and looking at Isobel Cooper's mother's name - could be Dunn?

I'm away to the IGI site to have a ferret!

You are wonderful. It is Dun(n) Found Isobel and her siblings on the IGI site.

More work to be done now.

Many thanks
Jean

Hello Jean,

looks like Dunn to me, and perhaps confirmed by a marriage in 1796 also in Kincardine O'Neil (from the IGI).

Regards,

John

Hello John

Now you have me confused.

I found Isobel and her siblings on the IGI. Looked for a marriage of the parents and found none.

Is the 1796 date you mentioned, the birth of Isobel's brother, Peter Wattie and not a marriage?

Hello Jean,

more haste, less speed. It was the birth of Peter that confirmed the parents' names. Sorry for the error.

Regards,

John
