Hi Tracy,
Welcome to rootschat.
Can you give us anymore info.
Do you have a copy of the marriage certificate of Alexander and Isabella, if so were does it say they were married.
If we can pin point a specific area  to work on then hopefully some kind rootschatters in that area can get to work on tracing the parents,
Kind regards,Billy.

Hi Tracy I have had a look at the I.G.I
The International Genealogical Index.
www.familysearch.org
these records have to be taken with a pinch of salt as they are only copies of the originals and there for up for human error.
I found a marriage of Alexander McPherson to Isobel Bruce on 17/07/1781.
Grange, Banff, Scotland.
Is this your couple,
Kind regards, Billy.

These are the Christening dates.
Helen,       27/04/1793.

John         06/05/1786
James       18/06/1788

You probably have the above children already, If you can confirm that this is your family then it may help others to trace back the way,
Kind regards, Billy.

Yes, this is the family I'm looking for.  I look through the other children in order to find Alexander's parents.  Thank you so much.

Hi Tracy,
Glad we are on the right family.
In Scotland some families stuck to tradition in naming children.
I will post it once I find it again.
The first son was named after the grandfather, this may help you in the search.
What we need to do is open a new post  in Banffshire so we get the Rootschat foot solders in that area.
Just click on  Banffshire.
Kind regards, Billy.
ps, maybe the kind moderator Boongie Pam will move this post for us.
