Hi
I am trying to trace my ancestor Margaret Slesser. She had a daughter Jane Slesser to an Alexander Hadden (illegitimate birth) She later married someone with the surname Leith who was reported to have been a church officer. I cannot find any record of birth/death or marriage for Margaret SLesser or Leith.
They lived in the greater Aberdeen area and may well have moved at some point to in or around Stonehaven area.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks
Amanda

Hi Amanda, have you looked on Scotland's People?

Yes I have been searching on Scotlands people but so far I have been unable to turn anything up, thanks.
|
|
When did she have daughter Jane?
Which census have you found Margaret on ?
|
|
Hi Glitterbaby, I have not been able to find her on a censu but her daughter Jane was born on 27/4/1866, Jane was born illegitimate but RCE records father as Alexander Hadden. Jane married George Corbett in 1895 . Any information I have about Margaret were from Janes birth/death/marriage certs..
