Scotland's people help please
Following on from my Crotcher/Campbell/Cooper thread I have found the baptism for her; b. Oct 28 1848, mother's mmn Margaret McEwan/McEwen. Father was James Crotcher.
On Margaret McEwan's marriage entry to James Crotcher it lists her father's name as Dugald McEwan farmer from Kenmore Perthshire. I found her death in 1859, her mother's maiden name was Elisabeth Walker. The only entry for a Walker/McEwan marriage in Kenmore is 1747!! I am in two minds if the entry reads 1797 or 1747, but it looks like 1747 & has been transcribed as that on Familysearch. I'm totally out of my depth here, my lack of knowledge of Scotland & the different places is poor, despite my DNA result apparently showing I have Scottish DNA it must have been as far back as the dinosaurs  Also the misspelling & mis transcribing is even worse than Ancestry  Can anyone find a marriage date that would be a proper fit as I doubt her mother was around 70 when she gave birth. So anything for a Dugald McEwan (spelt everyway under the sun) marrying an Elisabeth Walker & a baptism for Margaret McEwan around 1811-25 that fits these parents names would be great, thanks! I have credits, I just need help finding a possible hit for either or both, thanks.

Baptisms of children of Dougall McEwen and Elizabeth Walker on FamilySearch (all in Perthshire):
Hugh McEwen 2 Feb 1749 Killin John McEwen 10 Dec 1752 Kenmore Katharine McEwen 16 Nov 1754 Killin. So that marriage must be 1747, not 1797. What is the age on the 1859 death record? (Never mind, found it - 48.) Also just to save people rereading the other thread, on the 1851 census according to Ancestry's transcription, Margaret is 35 born Kenmore, Perthshire.

Okay, on FamilySearch there is the baptism of a Dougall McEwen 20 Aug 1812 at Kenmore, parents Dougall McEwen and Isabel Walker. That looks like the right family at least. Also Janet in 1800, Isabel in 1802, Hugh in 1804 and Peter in 1808.

Yes, Elizabeth and Isabel are interchangeable in Scotland, particularly the Highlands.

From memory, Dougald = Douglas. But SP is normally quite good at picking up variations - have you unticked "exact" for the forename?
