Hi Reiver,
I spent hours going through my Beattie info and SP and other sites looking for info on Robert Beattie. I did find a few things, though nothing groundbreaking. I just have to find the file I put it all in as I got sidetracked looking for Scotts and it is mixed in with that. I saved all I found whether it seemed relevant or not so you can sort through it.
I have a friend who has worked on the Beattie line for the last 25 years. She is in the middle of moving house but once she is settled in I will ask her for any info she might have.
In an old book I was doing research in I came across the term of clandestine marriages. In those days they were titled as "Green Marriages" - hence Gretna Green.
Kind regards,
Briellen
