Margaret Smith 1791-1867
Born and lived in Durris. A farming/crofter family
1791. Margaret Smith was baptised to William Smith & Elizabeth Falconer in Durris on 8/5/1791 SP . No marriage of her parents on SP 1770-1791 in all Scotland
but, unbelievably, I have found a baptism of a George Smith in Durris on 26/5/1793 to the same couple, William Smith & Elizabeth Falconer _ this George surely cannot be the man she marries in 1819??
1819 Margaret Smith marries George Smith in Durris on 11/11/1819 . SP not purchased : would not tell me parents being pre 1855
1828. Margaret Smith born to George & Margaret on 15/7/1828, baptised 12/8/1828 Durris - FS
Other children were: Elisabeth A 1822; George 1825; Mary 1826; William 1830; Jean/Jane 1833 & Ann 1837 - all these on FS except for Elisabeth- see 1851C
