Hi Falkryn

mmmm unfortunately, my marriage info for William WATT and Ann LATTA is 1842, so now unlikely that Jannet ORR was his second wife.... but will keep searching !

Hi Sossle

Thanks for that - very likely this Robert LATTA was my great great great grandfather, especially as he was later Freeman of the Borough, and his daughter Ann was recorded as being an Innkeeper on the Census of 1851.

Still like to know more about  his son-in-law, William WATT, still searching....!  :-\

Do you know where in Ayrshire Janet Orr may have lived - there is an old parish death record of a Janet Orr dying in childbirth in July 1843 but this is in Dailly. Unfortunately the opr only records her maiden name.

Hi Falkryn

The only record I've found is an 1805 opr marriage of William WATT and Jannet ORR in Dalmellington, which isn't too far away from Dailly? and I do have a possible child of this union in 1806.

I have a William WATT marrying Ann(e) LATTA in 1845, which would ring true if he'd just been widowed, although he was born in c. 1784, which would have made William 58 when he re-married, which is possible but unlikely. Ann WATT (nee LATTA) died in 1873, with her 1851 census occupation listed as InnKeeper - Kirkhill Inn.

Hi

Thanks all - I'm tracing my family back a few centuries - Ann LATTA and William WATT were my great-great-grandparents, but I can't find a confirmed birth for William - my best bet is that Duncan WATT and Janet KELLY were his parents, but can anybody help me with this?

Also, I think Ann was his second wife, his first being Jannet ORR, with whom he had one child before she died bef. 1842 ??

Any help appreciated - I've exhausted all the possibilities that scotlandspeople.com has to offer!

Hi

I'm also trying to trace a Helen EASSON, born about 1813 in Kinoul(?) or Kinord(?), whose father was Peter Easson, Vintner, and who married William SCOLLAY in 1833 in Perth, Scotland.

I can't find any record of her birth or death, only her appearing in Censuses 1851 and 1861, and Parish records of Banns & Marriages for William.

Any help appreciated...

Richard
