However, the other problem is that more data is unlikely, so not sure how we move from "maybe" to "could be" to "probably".
We can say there is an OPR marriage record for Alexander Sutherland and Marion (Mary) MacKenzie in 1797 in Latheron (both in Smerall? likely Smerly/Smerlie) and they very likely had at least one child named Francis b. around 1798. I don't have an OPR record for this birth though.
