Facts and Events
[edit] Alternative birthsThere were three Elizabeth Tullochs born in North Ronaldshay in the 1770s according to the Old Parish Records:
A fourth Elizabeth Tulloch was born about 1777, daughter of Thomas Tulloch and Jane Kelday, according to death records. This page links the first birth with the marriage to Isaac Thomson of Clatterha, later of Purtabreck. This is the only birth that is consistent with the gravestone details, which state that she was 81 years old in 1855. There is a discrepancy with the census return for 1851 which states her age as 74, whereas it would actually be 77. However, another source links the marriage to the third birth. This would be more consistent with the 1851 census, but inconsistent with the gravestone details. Given the nature of the two sources it seems more likely that the gravestone is correct. The fourth Elizabeth Tulloch was shown to have married William Tulloch of Cowmire, so can be ruled out. References
