Dear Annette

Wow! Some of this I have but I will have to widen my search and include siblings etc.for the extra information available.  There is a lot to think about here.  Thank you very much for the trouble you, and Rosie, have gone to and thank you Rosie for the extra info re Margaret Hay's maiden name.  Robert's name still niggles me - why would he put it on a marriage cert?  Because he could?

PS  I've just received an email from My Heritage stating that the enclosed photo is of my grandfather (mother's side) 1849 - 1923.  My grandfather died in 1918 in France and the photo is definitely not of him!
We have rain forecast over the week-end - I know what I'll be doing!

Have a great weekend

It could have possibly been  a mistake by the register I have came across this before ..
