Gosh, had almost forgotten about this!
Kate - no, I don't have a baptism for son Alexander Bonnyman, born about 1834-6, Aberdeen.

Are you thinking that Elizabeth, wife of Walter is really Isabella?
I think I must have picked up the wrong family in 1851 then, as I have Alexander Bonnyman aged 17, a servant with the Milne family in Banff. I felt this was him because Alexander names HIS son, James Milne Bonnyman, and although there is a previous Milne link, it isn't with this particular branch. (1851 -128/0A 006/00 005 Higher Ardoch Banff - head of household William Milne 35 born Keith.
When Alexander Bonnyman dies, his death cert states him to be illegitimate and there is a RCE to this effect, although giving his reputed father's name.
That Cowie surname is vaguely familiar but I don't know how...I will look at my tree to see if it is a discard!
Thankyou both.
