Hi Anne
Thanks for this, I had forgotten to go back to the IGI after finding
the LIbindex records! Alexander and Robert are both there, with
Alexander registered in Forres and Robert in Kinloss.

I assume that they were either married in Margaret's parish or possibly
(as Robert was supposedly a Naval Tailor) at the port where he lived.
Findhorn was presumably not a Navy port?


Kind regards
Murray
