      Wow Gadget,
             We're soooo excited.!!.....Thank you.  Who or what is Carter?
              Would it be possible to find George and Ann's children, names and years of birth ? I think they had 3 boys and 1 girl.
               Thank you.......Dru

A`carter was someone who transpoted good around:

and scroll down to carter

I'll look the family up on the 1891 and 1901 census but I can't give you a full list as after 1875 births aren't up on the free familysearch site and I'd have to go to the pay to view site Scotlands People which I've done already with Alexander. You could register yourselves:

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

I'll see what I can find on the censuses and then tell you how to do the searches for yourselves

he was a journeyman blacksmith and gravestone inscriber his death was at Marybank in the parih of Urray on May 15th 1871 aged 47 yrs
                               

Hi spec

The death certificate of Roderick has him married to Anne Matheson and no mention of Janet Mclennan. Do you know when Janet died?

I think you've got the wrong Roderick Macrae!  The blacksmith one who died May 1871 was married to Ann Matheson on 28th March 1851, Urray. As we have a marriage to Janet (Jessie)Maclennan in 1850 and children of the couple to 1862, at least, I think you've got the wrong man.

Children of Roderick MacRae and Janet (Jessie) McLennan on the IGI:

Janet - b. 6 Dec 1856 Fodderty, R & C
Alexander - b. 26 June 1859 Fodderty, R & C
Isabella - b. 28 Jan 1862 Rosskeen, R & C

There may be others on Scotlands People - www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

The marriage certificate of Isabella Mcrae and Alfred Courage, 29 Jan 1886, which ev and I looked at a while ago, has Isabella's parents as both still alive and Roderick's occupation stated as general labourer.

Could you go back to your brother in law and mention that he's got the wrong death. Also the information that i gave you yesterday about Donald Mcrae and Ann Forsyth will not apply to this family.
