Hello John,

I am sorry I can't help with any more then you know. I only have records of
children Mary born 3 April 1819 and Flora born 18 February 1815. So you
know more then I do.

It seems to be quite normal for those two names in particular to be
interchanged. I certainly have one in my line. It must have been quite
difficult in smaller community to work who was who when so many people
actually had the same name.

Kind regards

Jan Peasnell
