Hi again lzmaag,

Just an amendment to the above ...

First of all I got rid of all the dark writing, find it hard to read like that

But I also found more info, and fixed the mistake, on Georgina Faulds - see 1884 above.
She actually married Alexander Cranstoun, (the Dr Stuart was the celebrant) and as you will see at the amendment below, I don't believe she is directly of this family, although there could be a distant connection

Robert Faulds was born 6th September 1812
He may have had a brother Colin
