Francess Leighton b. 1782 Londonderry
There seem to have been many many Leightons in Londonderry so I am hoping someone cana help please abhout my GGG grandparents:
I would like to know anything about Francess Leighton b. about 1782 Londonderry. She married Robert Mcleod (born about 1776 Sutherland, Scotland).
Robert may have been a Fencible in Ireland where he met Francess. They had their first son, George Mcleod b. 1800 Londonderry. They then all went back to Robert's country, Sutherland, Scotland, where they had seven more children.
In census returns Francess appears as mother with the name Fanny and sometimes surname Little, or Liddle, or Lidle except for birth of son John Mcleod born 1817 when she is stated as Frances Leighton. So there could be some mis-translations involved. I can find no record of George's birth, or Francess and Robert's marriage and have been told that many records were destroyed at some time. Any help would be most welcome. thankyou.
