Some time ago I asked for your opinions about this.More information has come to light and I would like your opinions again.
I was looking for a marriage between Alexander Brown and Euphemia Morris in Scotland. In all but the 1841 census Euphemia said she was born Burntisland,Fife.Her age varies a little with each census.
Tha only marriage I could find was between an Elspeth Morris and A.B. Her father was David,a maltman from Burntisland.(22/5/1829)
I have found two children on Scotland's People Alexander 3/2/1830 and Hugh 12/2/1832,both born South Leith to Alexander and Elspeth.
All the other children are said to belong to Alexander and Euphemia.
I found a burial for an Elspeth in 24/2/1833 Lasswade.Most of the women on that page have Mrs or Widow in front of their names,but not Elspeth.
Alexander's death cert names all the children as his.Euphemias death was registered by her son- in-law who must not have known her father's name.
I have found a Thomas Morris and Elizabeth Thom who had a Euphemia in 1810 baptised Anstruther Easter Fife.
Do you think I can now say that Euphemia is a second wife,that the Elspeth buried in Lasswade is the first and that the Euphemia b.1810 is the second?
grateful for opinions.
