Find Ancestors

Dawn , I may have asked before but have some other info now. I`m trying to find birth date of my great, great grandmother. - MARY RATTRAY. In her marriage and death parents are ROBERT and ISABEL RATTRAY. Can`t find that one anywhere but there is one with parents JOHN and ELIZABETH in the correct year-about 1842. Could you look in your records please and see if her birth is recorded . This was in St. Vigeans , Forfar. I wonder if JOHN and ELIZ died and ROBT and ISABEL adopted Mary.. Thanks, Rosalyn
