Research Notes

The death record states she died age 3, and with a Family Bible recording of the birth in 1833 she would be 2 1/2 years old. Therefore she must have been born earlier than 1833. The family moved during this time frame (from Fastheugh Farm to Ashiesteel Farm), possibly causing a memory lapse. There is no record of her birth on ScotlandsPeople (Using Wildcards and surname only search).
