I think I have two brothers who married two sister.
To confirm this could someone please check for a David Barclay c1835 Mill wright. wife Janet ( McDonald)c36 she was born redgorton Perth.
Daughter Jessie was born 1859 the other sister was Margaret 1862. These are the two who married brothers.
( other siblingsJohn,Catherine,Isabella. Lillias)
This would be in the Perth area,probably Redgorton .
thanks very much for any help.

As I was adding this it was jumping.
It would be great if anyone can confirm there was only one David Barclay with wife Janet.

Thanks again

I started looking into the brother of on in my tree, had some credit left so looked into his wife. Wasnt till I looked at my FTM I realised the names were the same.
That should be fun sorting it out lol

Thank you for that GB.

Thats the details I have down for them re Jessie.. Margarets sister.
Eveything seem to tie them in.

I did wonder about the Bathinia and Catherine. I'm sure I looked it up in the library. and Thats where I found it.

I viewed the image on SP lastnight but priner was playing up. But I have scribbled down that David was down as Mechanic in their 1886 marriage.
Am I right in thinking that a Millright is the same as mechanic?
Address is also Tulloch.
Looking good to me :))

Thanks very much for your help.
