John Kinnear in Scone
« on: Monday 09 August 10 13:25 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I am hoping someone can help clarify some info for me.

I am trying to trace John Kinnear (b abt 1813) father of James (b abt 1852). He appears in records as a Joiner/ Innkeeper depending on the year but his wife is listed as Jean except for 1871 where she is Jane. The children listed to both women are the same. Could this be a typo?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm getting a bit confused.

Many thanks.

Katea

Jean and Jane are interchangeable in Scotland......she was probably baptised Jane but known as Jean
Hackland.....Orkney/ Leith/ Worldwide
Watt.....Aberdeenshire
Mc/Mac Donnell.....Inverness-shire
Crawford.......Douglas Lanarkshire/Newhaven Edinburgh
Keith......Aberdeenshire/Kincardineshire/Perthshire/
Clingan.....Midlothian/

Brilliant, thanks to you both, that clears up that confusion.

Can go and put it all in some sort of order now.

Thanks again.
