Hi I will be a relation. Roderick Mackdonald and Christian Purves my 5 x g grandparents. He was an agricultural labourer. Dont know anything else re him. Christian was born 1719 but do not think that date correct. She is mentioned in Chirnside parish church records as receiving money for various things and dies 27/8/1797. Catharine their daughter has 2 brothers James born 1794 and Hugh born 1778. |
