Fife / Re: Dunshalt Weavers Cottages

Always difficult if Annan was a common surname in the village of Dunshalt. Curiously I was looking at valuation rolls on Scotland's people website recently, in 1855 there was an Alexander Annan shown as proprietor of houses and gardens etc, Dunshalt
Might (not) be related to a family of Annan in Dundee (1840s show vintner/grocer) but later mason/builder assuming the same Alexander Annan. One of the children's names was Ebenezer and possible although definitely not certain there were connections with Auchtermuchty.
Only recently learned from the land tax rolls (1820) there were two ridges of land at Dunshelt, purchased by Ebenezer Marshall and possessed by Alexander Low.
(Coincidence or otherwise, in 1829 a marriage of Ebenezer Annan and Margaret Low)

For interest - the Matthew Slater that married Jean King, he had a cousin Peter Forrester Slater, whose son David Dick Slater went out to Canada, you can read more about him at http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/articles/emc/david-slater

Re. Angus Slater - perhaps this is him https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XQ99-ZCX looks like further details may be available via http://www.freecen.org.uk/ (seemingly a Chelsea Pensioner)

For info, old maps of the time are available from NLS eg http://maps.nls.uk/view/74400051 The attached highlights John Street in the West and Hamilton Street to the East. Matthew Slater (sen) appears to have had property on the corner of Hamilton Street/Renfrew Street. Also, although not certain if related, there is a Matthew Slater who was convener of the Town's hospital and seemingly a director of Hutcheson's charity school in Orr Street as per http://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/pageturner.cfm?id=85242174

For interest I believe that this Matthew Slater/Jean King feature in my own family tree. I have a Peter Forrester Slater (tie manufacture) b. 1817, his father was John Slater (b.1790) and his brother was Matthew Slater. It seems both John and Matthew worked in the starching trade. Matthew junior was married to Jean King in 1833 as you have it, and his siblings were Maria and Margaret (m. 1832) Michael Houston.
