Ironically, I have lived off and on in Rossshire for 20 years and now live in Newcastle (not Blaydon)

It might be easier for us to sit down and work it out on the Scotswood Bridge

Hi Spec 

I'm wondering if Roderick was a widower when he married Janet.

Here they are on the 1851 census

Kinnellan, Contin

Roderick McRae, 30, farm servant, b. Fodderty
Janet, 22, b. Lochbroom
Ann,daughter, 9, b. Ferintosh
Farquhar, son, 5,  b. Fodderty
William, son, 2, b. Fodderty

I don't think that Janet is old enough to have had Ann. I've checked their marriage entry (1850) and Janet is Janet McLennan of Kinnellan.

This is interesting!

At the moment, the most probably  - and nothing to prove it yet - is this:

bpt. Fodderty 24 July 1822 John Mcrae - parents : Kenneth Mcrae and Ann Campbell
