Hi Exploration

Re this comment by Helen K


Witnesses Brignall ELLIOT, John HALL, John WARD.



I can tell you that Brignall Elliott was my 5xgreat grand father and married Roberts sister Mary Graham in 1807 in Kirk Merrington.
Doesn't help much but thought you might be interested.
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy!

Thank you for posting your connection to the Graham family.  Your great x 5 grandfather was the clincher for me in my search.  Seeing his name as the witness to Robert and Eleanor's wedding and then married to Mary, Robert's sister provided me the "missing link" I needed.

I assume you saw my posting providing Mary's date of birth.  The parish registers that Helen K and JenB showed me turned out to be very valuable resources.  Good luck in your research.

Regards,

Michael.
