This has been profitable. I decided to search for birth record, Alexander Phemister, narrow metaphone between 1750 and 1801 [probably should have gone a bit earlier] in all of Scotland.. and guess what, ALL of them were in Moray. But I think I found a hopeful prospect in Binnie [the baptism record] with Alexander son of Robert Phimister and Margaret Dunbar in the Shagle...
Although he'd be only 27 by that one.. anyway, I now have a longer list to look at.
not sure what Shagle means. Will have to wait a few days now until I can buy more credits..
but think I might be on a better track now.
