Research

There's a death record for a Grizzel (Grace) Laidlaw in Selkirk, aged 2, on 2 July 1835, father David Laidlaw[5]. There is no baptism record for this child. Grace, David's youngest daughter, was baptised in 1828. Is this her death, and is the age recorded incorrectly as 2 instead of 7 or 8?
