27/03/1687 BALDERSTONE AGNES JOHN BALDERSTONE/ELISABETH MAINE U Linlithgow/WEST LOTHIAN
!Source: Laurena Grant. From her notes:
..., the marriage records [1709] in BOTH Falkirk and Linlithgow for Agnes Balderston[e] and James Simpson state quite clearly that Agnes was the daughter of JOHN Balderston,...
-
I believe your Agnes Balderstone was the daughter of John Balderston and Elizabeth Main[e], baptised in Linlithgow on 27/MARCH/1687. Her parents John and Elizabeth married 5/Oct/1684 in Linlithgow.
-
..., you can be reassured that there was ONLY 1 marriage recorded in Linlithgow for a John Balderston between 1553 and 1854! So as far as Agnes Balderston [the e at the end of her name is a spelling error - it does not occur in my line] is concerned - it is safe to say you have now got the right one!
