Agnes Caldwell was married to a Thomas Aitchison and had the children listed however I am no longer convinced that the Thomas she married was "my" Thomas. FURTHER RESEARCH is needed here!!

Hi Suzy, I think that Agnes Caldwell married the Thomas Aitchison that you originally had her connnected to, but the parents of the children you have listed were different Thomas Aitchison and Agnes Jack. I'll add some sources and add the correct parents. Also I have the husband of the daughter, Agnes Aitchison so I'll link her up to her husband after I've added some sources. Happy to discuss. Thanks Gillian

Hi Gillian,

Yes when I was going through some of my old research I noticed I seemed to have mixed these 2 families up and I couldnt make head nor tail of my research notes to allow me to make a decision as to which Bride my Thomas actually married. so I had decided I had to mark it as needing further research and I would need to find some time to sit and un-pick the 2 families and get them listed in the correct way. If you have worked it out and can source it properly then that would be awesome.
