    • MARRIAGE: Cairney 7th July 1833; William Monro and Anne Dustan both lately residing in this parish having contracted bonds of matrimony & consigned pledges were regularly proclaimed.

      Marriage listed on Old Parochial Records for Cairney by Huntly, Aberdeen, Scotland. Sacramento Family History Center, Film: 0993482.

      COMMENT: This appears to be the record of the marriage of the parents of William Munro (born 13 July 1836). The location is at least reasonable, and the husband's name (except spelling of Monro) agrees with the father's name listed in the christening record for William Munro.

      CONFLICTS The nameAnne Dustan, does not agree with the name of Jean Dustan Listed on William's christening record. The date of 7 July1833, is only 5 months before the birth of their first child, Margaret Munro.

      MORE COMMENTS: It appears that William Munro (1810-1893) had children by Jane Macintosh, Jean Dustan and Ann Dustan. The name of Ann or Anne shows up many more times than the others. In fact, Jane and Jean show up only once each. Ann did have a sister named Jane Dustan who was born in 1812, just 2 years after Ann. We have not found any marriage records for Jane Macintosh or Jean Dustan relating to William Munro. [3]

  • Notes 
    • BIOGRAPHY-OCCUPATION: John Dustan Munro was the younger brother of William Munro and was the first Munro to emigrate to the USA. John Dustan Munro then asked his nephew, John Munro (1862-1925), to follow him. His other nephews, brothers of John Munro, followed, one after the other, with George being the last to go. Ina Donaldson remembers that James and his brother, Charles, returned to home in Scotland from the USA. John Dustan Munro accompanied Charles on one of his trips. From some notes provided by Jamesina Donaldson (of Mosstodloch, Moray) in a letter dated 3 December, 1997 to Margaret Price. James A. Munro Jr. in his letter of 24 January 1997, relates the following: James A. Munro Sr. went to Scotland once with his uncle, John Distan Munro, who lived in Philadelphia, was in the real estate business there, was married to Aunt Becky and they had 3 girls, Anita, Ethel and Jessie.
