Research Notes

Elspet's son Alexander names her as illegitimate and the daughter of Mary Murray on her death certificate. I am tending to dismiss this, as the only Elspet born in 1789 is listed on Scotlands People as born to Alexander Reid in Balfour. He married Elspet or Jean Elmslie and I have her younger brother John's death naming his mother as Jean Elmslie. There is only one Elspet born to an Alexander Reid and no Mary Murray born in the period. Robert and Donald Urquhart named below on the headstone, both died in Victoria, Australia.Urquhart-93 22:50, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
