April 2nd

On this day in 1860, Betsy Mearns Coull was born.  She is your 1st cousin 4X removed.  She was born in Ferryden to fisherman Archibald Coull and Mary Noble, the youngest of their eleven children.  I've only been able to track her into her 30's when she is living with a sister in Dundee and working in a jute mill.

Another sad story.  On this day in 1877 Ann Christie died.  Ann is your 2x great aunt.  She is the sister of grandma's dad.  She was a twin with Helen.  Ann died after falling into a ditch near her home of Ewebrae Croft.  She had had a seizure and fell face first into the ditch.  She was 18 years old.
