I have a James Glass married Jean MacWilliam 1/3/1756 and have found on IGI six children.
John 1757 / Alex 1758 / Ann 1760 , then there is a 13 year gap.
Joseph 1773 / William 1776 / Elizabeth 1778
The Marriage and all Births are Urquhart,Moray,Scotland
Is this Family situation possible,or are we, by coincidence looking at two different families? I have only been able to find the one marriage under these names.
If they are the one family,what would be a possible explanation for the gap?
Thanks
John

Not impossible ..... but are we talking all extracts or some submissions?
Reason ? They didn't have any kids in that interval; they did but didn't have them baptised (check out taxes on registration in that period); they did but the records haven't survived for those years; they did but they were members of a secession church for that period; plus a few other reasons I can't conjure up at 2:42 in the morning
Possible that it's a coincidence, but Ah hae ma doots given the surnames involved, but I've been wrong before now

Nae prob, . ......... heading there soon !!
Given that all the IGI entries are extracts, I'd tend to believe that we're talking the same family.
