A little Meg poser

Post by Big Eagles » Fri Oct 19, 2007 11:43 pm

OK - the cell isn't functioning at present

From a old family document I have the parents as John Anderson / Jessie Jack and have managed to successfully match all of their children (Jessie, John, Robert, Andrew, Lily, Mary) from the records to this document. Main area of action seems to be Dunkeld...

On this family document there is another child of these two called Meg. Can't find record of her anywhere...all the other children were born between 1866 and 1877 which has narrowed it down a bit...

Can anyone help me complete this line by finding details of Meg...?


Of course given my first post, my cell should now kick in with the other one and I'll find the answer...I don't think...

Cheers folks...

When my second daughter was born I wanted to name her Megan. Was years before anyone realized I had named her after my Mum . Mum was christened Margaret but always called Peggy and Megan means Little Margaret. :D
