Marriage?

Various family trees on the web show Annie marrying Alexander Niddrie on 10th Dec 1864 in Fordoun, easy to find with Google search. See also ref.^[5]

I, Steve C, have not personally verified that this is the correct Ann Crowe, and a couple of things ring alarm bells, in that Alexander may not be geographically local to Annie, also Annie would be 34 yrs old to Alexander's 22 yrs, which is a bit odd. Needs checked out.

Some trees also have Ann with a first marriage to Alexander WATT (no date given), producing child Mary Beedie WATT 17 February 1856 at Fordoun. Not verified this as a first marriage. Issues with this are that Ann went on to marry Alexander NIDDRIE using her maiden name. Probably not the same Ann CROW, or two or more Ann CROWs have been confused.
