Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name James LESLIE  [1
    • There is some uncertainty about whether James' spouse was Ann and was the mother of 'our' Simon. Catherine is another possibility - she was born in Duthil and Rothie. In the 1851 census, Simon lists Rothie as his region of birth. There is a possibility that Catherine died and then James married a Mary and/or Ann or Maryanne. (This information is from Desiree Leslie-Hughes.)
