Research

Marriage While it is possible they married in 1814, it is highly unlikely they married in 1814 and have birth years of 1799 (James) and 1804 (Mary). They are more likely to have married in Slamannan around 1823 if Janet is their first child. If 1814 marriage then their birth years around 1793 more likely.
