Hi Duncansketch

Sorry not to have replied sooner but I couldn't find my info on Jessie Carr and then realised that it was because she is not actually in my family tree so I hadn't put her on my computer records, although I still have the paper records for the family. I found her dob by putting her parents' names (from her marriage & death certs) into Family Search. It came up with only one result with a Jannet Kerr born to parents Ann Bruce and John Kerr. I reckonned that was probably the correct person. Hope this helps.

Good luck
Samgate

I have some info on a John Grant, born Alvie about 1815, married Jessie Carr in Aug 1843 and died 26 April 1906. In 1851 census (aged 35) his occupation is given as saw miller and his address is Mill of Feshie. Similarly in 1871 (aged 56). In 1861 & 1881 (aged 46 & 66 resp.) it just says Sawmill or Sawmiller's house for his address. He had at least 11 children. Is this the one you are interested in? I had thought at one time he was one of 'my' Grants, but don't think so now. Can give you a little more info if interested.

Thank you very much. Have just discovered RootsChat and was very excited to find the reference to William Jack. Must read the rules now and find out what I can and can't do!

I have just come across your query about Hagmoor (dated July 07) while researching James Jack of Wester Bracco, my ggg grandfather. I wasn't sure if William & Margaret Morton were his parents, but your question seems to confirm it. Can you give me any other info about William & Margaret (I know they were married July 1774. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
