Underage Marriage?

Hi Lesley

I didn't really get too far with any death records. I did find out from the marriage certificate that Robert Davidson and Anne Brown were married in Anstruther Easter 11/2/1792, no more useful info though. Their second son William Davidson (my gggGF) was born 9th Oct 1794 and Robert was listed from Scooniehills. Interestingly the christening was witnessed by Herbert Davidson & Alex Traufield (?) - no idea who they are! I think Herbert Davidson must be a relative but he seems to be the only son of Mathew Davidson and Anne Bell born 30/8/1730. I can't find any marraige record or any other children for them in all of Scotland from 1690 onwards!! I thought they might be a good connection as one of Robert Davidson's son, Thomas b 1810, has a middle name 'Bell'. I think I'm slowly going crazy will all the theories and possibilities!! Am I going to have to fly over to Scotland to sort this out?!

Thanks
Jamie
