Marion Haldane was born Menney Haldane in 19/06/1817, probably baptized then, in Haddington, married John Ewan in Auchterderran on 07/11/1845 still under the name of Menney, but changed it to MARION hereafter. She was listed in the 1851 census with John and 3 children. After this date she disappeared completely; strangely 1 year later John remarried an Isabella Duncan. All this took place in Auchterderren.
I did come across some evidence, Not Positive, that Marion died in 1851 in East Lothian, no town named.
Her father Alexander, born Haddington 21/01/1787, married Margaret Forrest who resided mostly in Prestonkirk ; she died in 14/02/1871, Prestonkirk. I had evidence, again Not Positive, he died East Lothian, no town, 1846. But I believe he died Prestonpans 04/08/1842, clear evidence of that.
My premise is Elaine; If I can find where her father is interred she may be there too. That would mean she came from Fife in 1851-52 and died in East Lothian and I've got a hunch it may be Prestonpans with her dad.
Also the Haldane's predominate Prestonpans in the burial returns.
Many, many, thanks Elaine......................................................................Ron.
