Hi Batmansdaughter

I can see one in 1856 Aberdeen but not one in Dundee?

I tried doing a free search on Scotlands people for Elizabeths birth around 1856/7 in Dundee.

I found an Elizabeth Spark Donald registered........ so I wonder if this was actually her??

Doing a free general search on Scotlands people there is a birth in 1899 for your Gran in Angus............ so it's looking likely that the family I found is looking good.

My great grandmother was Elizabeth Spark Hughes born Elizabeth Spark Anderson in Aberdeen in 1873. She married James Hughes in Dundee in 1883 which would make her only 10 years old when she was married. She gave birth to my grandmother Elizabeth Stewart Hughes in 1889 when she was 16. All the above info via Scotlands People.
I understand that it IS possible that she was only 10 when she married but was there another Elizabeth Spark Anderson ? And what age was James Hughes when they were married ?
Ive run out of credits with Scotlands People. If anyone out there could look up my two questions I would appreciate it !
Graham
