Husband: Adam Keir

Wife: Christian Mitchell

Notes:

It's likely that some of the children for whom I have only burial records are children of this second marriage.

Notes:

Could Thomas and Robert be twins? Or Robert baptized at same time as Thomas (25 or 26 May 1690)? Need to check records. Robert is LDS only, and mother is given with a different last name..

Notes:

Working with the 1694 poll tax records, Dingwall finds that "The occupational status of the heads of households with twelve or more persons provides an interesting ilustrationsof the urban-rural differences among the parishes. In Old Kirk, eleven such households belonged to members of the legal profession and four were those of craftsmen including baker Adam Keir, whose household included his wife Christian Mitchell, five children, one apprentice, three male servants and two maidservants, in a house of only three hearths."

(Dingwall, Helen M., Late Seventeenth-century Edinburgh: A Demographic Study.. Aldershot: Scholar Press, 1994.)

Notes:

Possibly brother of Katherine Keir. It is not clear, though, whether the Adam Keir who married Christian Mitchell was the widower of Helen Cleghorn.
