Who were the parents of William Brough?
Over the last 20 years my father has traced our Family Tree back to my 5x Great Grandfather William Brough (spouse of Mary McAsh or McCash married 10th Sept 1762).
Many public family trees on Ancestry show William's DOB as 1738 (and Mary's at 1743).Recently, on Scotland's People, I found a birth record for Mary on 3rd Aug 1735 and 2 possible bith records for William - one on 9th Jul 1738 (recorded as William Burgh) to parents William Burgh and Kathrine Thomson (as per Ancestry) and one for 16th Jan 1732 to Robert Brough and Janet Johnston.
How can I determine which is correct?
I'm leaning towards 1732 as this would make William older that Mary which I believe would be most likely at the time but how can I confirm this?
