Ann Ross was baptised on 16 April 1800 in Dornoch to John Ross and Jean Murray of Rearchar (Rearquhar). These same parents are listed in the Dornoch death record; images of both from the National Records of Scotland have been kindly shared by researcher "rescuecatsrock" on Ancestry.
John Ross and Jean Murray were married in Dornoch on 29 December 1795.
The census records list Ann's birth place as Caithness (1841), Achosnich (1851), and Dornoch (1861, 1871).
