James Burnett of Fras. -and- Christina *(aka Christian) Eaton
of Hill Place - just west of Montrose
Parish ==> Many years ago when I was
given room facilites in West Register House (now the
NRS in Edin.) , the dedicated staff brought out ( yet again ) another heavy ol' tome for the Paroch of
Fraserburgh which gave the date 15th March 1851 for a Fraserburgh" record
of the said marriage of James and Christina which had been conducted at
Montrose the previous week. Fascinating ... to see and handle the primary
sources and provenance and meticulously wade through
(Gerrard Burnett).
