If anyone has the Methlick MI's, would you look up:

Elspet Raitt
22 Feb 1786

I don't have the lair number. Sorry! I'm interested in particular in knowing her maiden name if it is given and who else is buried there, if anyone?

Thanks,

Carol

Hi Tracey. That's her. I was hoping someone had the booklet and could look up the details. If not, I'll order it.

Thanks for the details Paula!

Methlick may be a little far north for my Raitts, but who knows? I just found out about a relative who was a Laurenson and the Laurensons seem to be mainly from Shetland! Makes you wonder how and why this one strayed so far from home and ended up in Kintore?

Turns out there were quite a few Laurensens in Cruden. I got boggled by the first two pages of them in Shetland and didn't see the others until later!
