I can't find a baptism for Mary.

No Elder baptisms in Caithness or Wigtown 1815 - 1830 with father Andrew.

Andrew in 1841 and 1851 ? I can't find one who looks to fit.

 

[DaveHam9]

The 1852 marriage was the second one for Donald. Even if Mary was a widow she would remarry using her maiden name.

 

[DaveHam9]

Nothing missing from shipping record. It does not say where Andrew was living.

Thanks emeltee.

Something wrong with Janet's pob in 1851 census.

If Inverness then not Markinch. If Markinch then Fife.
