Research notes

Has anyone found James' death cert.?

Many trees show him as the son of James COGHILL and Isabella MURRAY, but to date I've found neither a baptism, nor his death cert., but have found a couple of these names baptizing a dtr Christian in Olrig (1792).

I agree with the pending merge because daughter Ann fits the Ann in the census, and because her husaband Oal is a variant spelling of Auld.

Son-in-law Alex AULD was the informant for Elizabeth MANSON's death

Coghill-335 and Coghill-35 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, exact same spouse on both profiles, similar birth year

Thank you for reviewing, Teresa (WikiTree Arborist)
