Christening of a Christian Philp 08/10/1759 Nigg Kincardine - Parents - John Philp and Christian Donald (12/07/1753 John and Christian married in Nigg)

Also one 20/07/1762 and 18/07/1763 - Parents David Philp and Marion Allan or William Philp and Margaret Walker (Maryculter Kincardine though, not Nigg)

Most likely to be the Nigg couple do you think?.....

My vote would go to the Nigg couple too.

We had the 5 children chr in Fraserburgh plus Catherine 27 June 1823 but didn't have William.

Though of course William and Margaret were married 1813 and Margaret was born 1789.

[Manchester Rambler]

Unless 1770 is a typo on the IGI, there must be another couple with the same names, as this William Molison is older than William Maule Molison/Margaret Davidson.

Looking at the Dr Wilson in Huntly that we were given in Michael's info:

Moray library local heritage services people search:
George Wilson doctor married Jean Weymss Forsyth 24 Jan 1852 Huntly, 5 Feb 1852 Greyfriars Elgin
also, George Wilson doctor married Margaret Wagstaff of Fochabers at Fochabers 6 June 1839.

back to the will index:
Margaret Wilson 9 Nov 1855 Mrs, or Wagstaff, spouse of George Wilson, Doctor of Medicine at Huntly, extract inventory

Henry McKenzie Adamson son of Catherine Molison who was daughter of William Maule Molison was in 1881 at Balnagask house and a  medical student.

I feel rather inadequate,
but, I'll post this so you can eliminate the potential siblings of the Hero, Allan....
Jas Robertson married Mary Marshall
13/6/1870. Dunbar, East Lothian.
They had Marion Bathgate Robertson 1871.
and John William Robertson 1873.
Margaret F Robertson. 1876?

in the 1881c, They are still up there.. and I feel you can forget about this branch.
