  9. the Halkirk OPR entry shows Donald in Hilhead, Bower, and Margaret in Gerston Halkirk. A month earlier, when the banns were entered in the Bower OPR they read: Donald Bain of Clayoch, Margaret Taylor of Gerston, Parish of Halkirk were matrimonially contracted the 15th Jun 1832. Cautners John Bain and William Taylor (assumed to be their respective fathers). NB another researcher believes the marriage to be 12 Feb in Halkirk which cannot be correct if the Banns were called 15 Jun
  10. BAIN: Donald head, 30, day lab;
    wife Margaret, 30.
    John 8;
    William 6;
    Isabell 4;
    James 2;
    Jane 1
  11. Donald Bain, 45, miller wife Margaret, 49 both b Halkirk.
    Dtrs: Isabella 15; Catherine, 9 both scholars b Latheron (place given as Clashscruvie, assumed mistranscription of Clashscriby). Possibly he had gone home to be near his father, who died a couple of years after this)
    This is one of 3 neighbouring census entries related to this family: the first being Donald's parents, John and Catherine, with their dtr Jane; the next being Donald's brother James and his family
  12. BAIN: Donald, head, mar., 52, miller, b Halkirk;
    Margaret T, wife, 54, "his wife" b Reay;
    Children: Isabella, 24, b Latheron;

    Catherine, 16 b Latheron'
    Grddtr Catherine, 3 b Halkirk (dtr of Isabella)
    (1 room with 1 or more windows)
    The ages shown are well out: Donald was by now at least 55, Maggie 59, James 23 and Catherine nearly 20, only Isabella has an age consistent with other census entries. (Only one household separates them from Alexander & Catherine Sutherland and family, which their respective children Alexander Sutherland and [R:SonPFPO] obviously took advantage of)
