Apologies - yes, they are the same person - except 'mine' died in South Africa and 'yours' in Dumfriesshire.

Sorry to duplicate instead of adopt/amend. I'll try to initiate a merge, but would prefer to know where you got your death information that conflicts with mine, which I believe to be correct. Thanks for so quickly spotting my error :) Best regards, Moira

I didn't have any record of her death, but the only mention I could find back in 2013 was 2 other family trees on Ancestry that placed her death in Sanquhar, neither had sources.

Thanks for getting the merge done.

Somewhere I have a photo of the Tennant gravestone at Gonubie Presbyterian Church which I'll add when I find it. Martha's daughter Mary Jane (Tennant) Shooter was on of the witnesses at my great grandmother's wedding in Gonubie Church Best regards, Moira
