Research Notes

Who is Madge ?HORN? Can't spot a marriage in ScotlandsPeople between death of first wife Elizabeth KIDD nee CROW and 1905. Should show as widow of if this is really Elizabeth.

George's marriage cert. to Elizabeth KIDD nee CROW erroneously shows his parents as George FAIRBAIRN spirit merchant dec'd and Janet FAIRBAIRN m.s. FAIRBAIRN. Close I suppose!
