Would appreciate if someone could find the family of John MacBeath and Margaret (Campbell), they married in Callander Perth in 1868 and had a daughter Mary Ann born c1870 in Callander. And if not too much, 1 more: Robert WADDELL and his wife Jane (Thompson) married in New Monkland Lanark in 1869, they had a son born 1870 in Larbert Stirling. With much thanks Dan
