Hi MacShuibhne
The census entry, could it be Alloa? It is/was in Clachmannanshire.
Cheers

Hi Celia

Unfortunately the 1861 Census lists William as a widower therefore Catherine would only appear in the 1841 and 1851 Census.  Given that the 1841 Census only recorded a simple Y or N if born in Scotland there is no other readily available source for her place of birth.  I believe she married William c1828 but even then there are issues with whether she was born in same parish.  I have still to track her OPR marriage entry (assuming she did marry and assuming it was not an irregular border marriage).  I can only hope she died after 1855 to give some chance of finding more info.

thanks for looking

Hi Celia

Found a death entry in 1860 that looks like the same Catherine.  Still doesn't answer the query about her birth parish though.  ::)  but throws another wild curve as it has her parents as Peter Weir and Mary Robb who may come from Aberdeen ???

As asked for I've sent you various Hunter details to your email if you care to have a look :D
