One of Margaret Cunningham’s sons was James John Wallace II who married Agnes Stewart (Stewart-7838). James had a son named James John Wallace III (Wallace-13804), who married Margaret Thompson (Thompson-490). They had Elizabeth Jane Wallace (Wallace-136).

Cunningham a-1 and Cunningham-1828 appear to represent the same person because: Same name (typo on LNAB contains 'a' at the end of Cunningham). Same dates of birth and death. Ancestry link shows husband as John Wallace.

If you agree these are duplicates, please complete the merge.

Thank you!!
