I have just started to do some Scottish reasearch.I found that the parents of Catherine Brown(25/5/1845) were Alexander Brown and Euphemia Morris.They appear on 1841 census onwards.Euphemia has her name spelled in various ways and her age varies.The only marriage that I could find in the right place(South Leith,Midlothian) at the right time was Alexander Brown to Elspeth Morris(22/5/1829)If I accept that this is the right one then her father was called David Morris.I cannot find a birth for Euphemia.
I went onto familysearch to see if I could find anything there.
This is what I found;
David Morris to Christian Kirk 21/4/1794 Edinburgh Parish
David Morres to Christian Kirk 21/4/1794 Dunfirmline Fife
David Morres to Christian Edinburgh 21/4/ Dunfirmline Fife
These records are all extracted.
How can this be explained?
Do you think the marriage cert for Elspeth is really Euphemia?
