SLESSOR family in St Nicholas Parish
« on: Monday 18 August 14 23:07 BST (UK) »
My father and grand father were JAMES SLESSOR from OLD MACHAR,I am trying to trace back beyond 1880 and see if there is a family connection to Mary Mitchel Slessor whom my aunt said she was named after and was my grand fathers aunt .My grand father was the defacto spouse of MARY ANN BURR
